    What does being raped have to do with 2 kids wrestling in the grass?

    God forbid that liberal men and women accept men for who they are. Have some tolerance, will ya. And you guys talk about being inclusive.

    You're telling men not to act like men and have (lack?) the gonads to tell us to grow thicker skin?

    What exactly is toxic masculinity and how can you describe it without offending blacks, Muslims, Latinos and Pacific Rimmers? If any groups of people put their manliness first and foremost, it's them. So why does the commercial single out white people?

    My take away with this video is they act like all men are complicit in shitty behavior or turn a blind eye to such things. You can understand why people might be upset with that. It would be no different if someone had done a similar video with women, black people, homosexuals, or a political party.

    It's also funny that the people who are outraged at those calling Gillette out are being toxic and disrespectful. They claim it's a good message while attacking anyone who dislikes the video. Than again, maybe they're Gillette users and the video was actually directed towards them instead.

    You gotta be kidding me. It's been awhile since you were in school. I'd say it's pretty even nowadays, and the girls may likely be in the majority when it comes to bullying.

    You missed the point. People who are offended by white men with BBQs or white kids wrestling in the grass need to grow a pair, you know, get some thicker skin. Does it bother you that only white men seem to be negatively portrayed in this ad? It's been my experience that white men are the least dominant people of women - THE LEAST!

    But this ad will probably kill record sales for the Village People's single of Macho Man.

    Actually you missed the point but people that take themselves too seriously usually do.

    Like ole Top Sarge used to say about 6:00 a.m. shadow, "You got a hard on against Gillette of something?"

    Pappy used 'em and threw the dull blades in a tire patch can, but I ain't never used 'em.

    Why use Gillette when you can get equal performance for a whole lot less.

    It's not masculinity if any kind it's just poor behavior

    I've used Gillette razors for 45 years. I won't be using their products for a 46th year. I fail to see how going out of your way to offend the primary users of your products is an effective ad campaign. I stopped shopping at Lowes (commercials where smart moms show up their incompetent idiot husbands) and I the only difference it made in my life is that I now have a four minute shorter drive when I go to Home Depot.

    Now I need to go find another razor company. I am done with Gillette forever. Oh, and the Patriots cheat.

    Well, you see its all part of the incessant empowerment of women.
    See my delightful little thread under the Australian section....which no-one in Australia has disagreed with....I have to presume therefore, that Im correct......

    So somehow you missed all the anti-White male imagery coupled with black males being the ones ‘doing the right thing’........not a very perceptive fella I see........

    Do you recall the exact day you started to hate white men? Remember the outrage and cries of racism when no blacks were nominated for an Oscar? The left doesn’t lift a finger without being racially concerned, the video is proof of thst along with just about every other commercial out there. Own it.

    Cowboys and Patriots, hate them. But I haven’t watched a single play since game three of last year. Because of that, my photoshop skills have improved immensely.
