It figures.
The concept of “Toxic Masculinity” was invented by RadFems to paint all men with a broad brush as evil and mentally defective.
You're not just being practical, using common sense and seeing something for what it really is Sarge, you're apparently just toeing the line and your inner trigger has been spotted all the way from Hungary.

Make that male bashing + white bashing + Christian bashing + heterosexual bashing = toxic leftard pathological obsessions
if all men are at the potential of being serial killers, rapists, sadistic murderers and displaying their toxic masculinity due to having the body parts of being so, is it fair and equal to say that every woman is of the potential to be cum guzzling gutter ***** who want to kill their babies in or out of the womb?

I just watched it again. Here is my timestamped analysis of the chicks in it.
0.20 - hit, 0.40 hit, 0.58 hit, 1.03 hit.

Posting word for word as this is excellent. Thank you Michelle Malkin, you're an American Hero and Patriot....
"One of the world’s most successful brands committed ideological hara-kiri this week. Recognized around the world as a symbol of manly civility for more than a century, Gillette will now be remembered as the company that did itself in by sacrificing a massive consumer base at the altar of progressivism.
To which I say: R.I.P.-C. (Rest In Political Correctness).
In case you hadn’t seen or heard, parent company Procter & Gamble launched a Gillette ad campaign blanket-demonizing men as ogres and bullies. Guilt-ridden actors gaze ruefully at their reflections in the mirror — not because they’ve neglected their hygiene, but simply because they’re men. Various scenarios of boys being boors and males being monsters flash across the screen before woke interlocutors show how “real” men behave in nonaggressive, conciliatory and apologetic ways.
At home and at work, in the boardroom, on the playground, and even while barbecuing in the backyard, Gillette sees nothing but testosterone-driven trouble. Message: Y chromosomes are toxic. The “best a man can get” can no longer be attained without first renouncing oppressive manliness.
Self-improvement must begin with self-flagellation.
A Gillette company statement explained that after “taking a hard look at our past” and “reflecting on the types of men and behaviors we want to celebrate,” officials decided to “actively challenge the stereotypes and expectations of what it means to be a man everywhere you see Gillette.”
But Proctor & Gamble, which bought Gillette in 2005 for $57 billion, doesn’t spell out which part exactly of the 118-year-old company’s past it now rejects. Was it founder King Gillette, the relentless entrepreneur who appealed to “red-blooded” young American soldiers? Was it the decades of multimillion-dollar promotional campaigns catering to physically superior athletes?
Or perhaps the mau-mauing marketers have adopted the radical feminist position that shaving itself is sexist. Is the ultimate goal to undermine the very raison d’etre of the $15 billion shave care industry?
I ask only half in jest. How else to explain this latest suicidal episode of collective consumer-shaming? Gillette’s two-minute, man-bashing missive may have racked up 7 million views on YouTube, but the “dislikes” outnumber “likes” by 4 to 1.
And the reviews are brutal:
“How to destroy your company in 1 minute 48 seconds.”
“Companies attempting to make profit should stick to that.”
“The single male is the most attacked maligned ridiculed and forgotten person in today’s society.”
“You can buy High Quality Razors that are NOT Gillette at the 99 Cents Store with NO lecturing on how to be a Man.”
“I’ll buy P&G products again when I see them release an equivalent ad targeting negative female traits: toxic femininity/paternity fraud/fake accusations… doubt that’s going to happen any time soon!”
“So now Gillette thinks that it is the arbiter of what all men should think, say, and watch. Screw Gillette, bought their products for almost 50 years, I will never buy another Gillette product. NEVER!!!”
“Thank you Gillette, I purchased your razors and chopped off my testicles with it. No more toxic masculinity!”
Ouch.
You may remember that P&G, which I un-fondly refer to Protest & Grumble, has dipped its sanctimonious toe into social justice waters before. In 2017, the company tackled identity politics with a video called “The Talk.” The preachy ad stoked fear and hatred of police and perpetuated racial stereotypes of officers lurking around every corner waiting to pounce on innocent black children and teenagers — alienating law enforcement families across the country and insulting every minority cop to boot.
The backlash against that ad apparently didn’t faze Protest & Grumble’s activist zealots. Once again, industry marketers are proving they’re not satisfied with selling useful products people want and need. No, they’re hell-bent on exploiting successful businesses to cram odious politics down consumers’ throats.
Like many Silicon Valley giants (hello, Facebook and Twitter) and SJW-hijacked sports enterprises (hello, NFL and ESPN), Gillette is now openly discriminating against its consumers-turned-critics to curry political favor with the #MeToo movement. Savvy social media observers caught the company throttling negative comments and dislikes on its YouTube video. They can manipulate likes and de-platform dissenters. But they won’t be able to disguise the bloodletting effect of toxic sanctimony on their bottom line.
Falling on your virtue-signaling blade may win you awards and headlines, but ultimately, it’s a fatal proposition."

late night comedians and SNL should have a field day with this but they probably won’t because they don’t dare cross the me too movement.

I think its weird that women would dress in short, tight clothing or dance around in tiny bikinis and expect men to pretend not to notice. I mean, maybe it makes me a traitor to my gender but when I was young that was pretty much the entire reason we dressed like that. To attract men. Doesn't mean we wanted to get raped or assaulted of course, but men noticing that we looked hot and commenting on it in a social situation is bad now?

Of course it is. When us guys get all spiffed up and go out it sure as hell isn't to impress our guy friends. To pretend otherwise for men or women is just stupid. I heard one of the Conservative talking heads the other day....can't remember who it was....anyway, he said the catch 22 for women is that they dress that way to attract desirable men. The problem is that in doing so, they also attract "undesirable" men that they have to fend off repeatedly. So it's not that women don't want men's attention when they dress like that, it's just that they want the desirable men's attention, which makes sense. But when they act like it's some form of sexism to get interest from guys, it just means they are getting advances from the undesirable guys they aren't interested in.

Ugh! Why?!!
If you are a traitor to your gender, then I will join you. I did the same thing when I was young. Hell...that was the whole reason we would go to the mall wearing our mini skirts....to meet guys!
Bwahahahaha.....good shot Zona
Pass
It's a little bit scary that you felt the need to clarify that.

So they're down 20% in market share and their feminist driven ad hated 10 to 1. If this is their hail mary pass, I feel pretty certain it'll be ruled incomplete. Milennials aren't slaves to branding, they do dollars and gillette is overpriced.

I really found one part of the ad very troubling.
At one point - they highlight bullying.
From what I can remember from school -- the girls were just as guilty of being bullies as the boys were, sometimes even worse.
This ad makes it seem like bullies are strictly boys/men. Seems kind of ignorant of reality.
