RE: Why is Gillette's commercial against toxic masculinity so important?

in #marketing6 years ago (edited)

It's not "the faults of a few bad individuals," it's a culture based on violence that has been connected to masculinity for centuries.

If you don't understand it, I'm not going to explain it to you because clearly your privilege won't let you see what I'm talking about.

Check your Privilege

The ability to have a conversation is a skill, what your version of feminism espouses is a first world problems privileged position of identity politics.
You clearly show ignorance the moment their is a conflict with your own ideology.
Now that is what I would call white women privilege and 90% of people will agree that Gillette was wrong.

Men do not have an intrinsic sin or evil within them that they must spend their whole lives to atone for. While the intention may have been to challenge learned behavior what it actually does is send a message to men and to boys that they are evil and acting in a boyish way is a bad thing and that is the real issue with this ad.
