there was a bit where there was an endless line of men repeating "boys will be boys". the point of that bit was to show that they believed this is how all men behaved/thought

So there I was, putting on my rape shoes, and practicing my sexual harassment pickup lines this morning. I just got done cyberbullying my coworkers. It was time to shave, I yelled at my wife to smile because I demand it, while pinching her butt right after she told me she didn't consent to it. Putting on the shaving cream and thinking about how I can get my son into a fight at the next BBQ, I replaced the worn Gillette brand Mach3 and began to chant "boys will be boys" as I started to shave. Then suddenly my daughter burst into the bathroom holding her phone. As I began to mansplain to her why she isn't smart enough to know my shaving time is my time she showed me the new Gillette ad. I realized how my every view and behavior I've ever held dear was wrong. I'm calling in sick at the toxic masculinity factory today and registering Democrat. Thanks Gillette, now excuse me while I help to impeach.

You don't understand
The decision of whether to speak to men who approach you in public should always be made by other random men in public

Youre implying that all men practice toxic masculine behavior. If you practice toxic masculinity and you were triggered then it served its purpose.

I'm not implying that. I'm implying that repeatedly in the commercial the message was addressed to all men. It wasn't "Is this the best some men can be?" It was "Is this the best a man can be?" The old black guy staring in the mirror, for example:

Was the commercial arguing he was practicing toxic masculinity? No
Was the commercial suggesting he like all men need to take a hard look at themselves in the mirror? Yes

The whole series of grilling men saying "boys will be boys" sole point was to treat all or at least most men as identical "toxic men".

The commercial generalized negatively about all or at least most men and it's pretty obvious that it did. They even acknowledge that what they were doing was partially to troll so as to get more controversy and thus more attention.

It's a company pimping wokeness and insulting all men to get more attention, and people who defend it are playing right into their hands.

I didn't get triggered by it, but I did roll my eyes at it.

Like there is just something so cringey about a razor company trying to push social progress.

Like the idea that somehow that's going to convince people to buy your overpriced razors instead of continuing with dollar shave club or harrys

if you're not a toxic person and are confident in yourself you shouldn't be bothered by this

I just posted multiple bits of evidence like 3 posts ago:
Normal men looking in mirror, barbecue visually imagery suggesting all men are the same, phrasing of "Is this the best a man can be?" also addressed at all men.

It was incredibly cringe worthly thats for sure. And dumb

Half of the scenarios were over exaggerated bullshit.

I know soook many women at my job/jobs who have been cut off and spoken over by men. And the women clam up like church mice. Yep, thats usually how it goes...

Reactionary. For whatever reason, people always seem to think that if they say the opposite of whatever you say, you have to accept it instead of just telling them to shut up.

Don't bother explaining. He's the type the commercial caters to. They just listen, and deny everything else.

Come now, you cant think that no feminism is toxic?

You want it spelled out?

"Manspreading"

"All men are potential rapists" propoganda

"Dont follow due process and just believe any and all accusations because no one ever lies and some women have not been believed before so therefor all cases are the same"

"Why dont we shoehorn a "strong female" ( aka aggresive and rude for no reason) into everything and make the men idiots because of diversity even though we have plenty of actual strong female characters already"

You seem to imply that they are. Masculinity can be toxic and wrong but femininity is always right??
