Toxic Masculinity? - 372

in masculinity •  6 years ago 

I think the ad may go to far. I don't think two boys wrestling on the ground is a horrible thing. In addition one commenter made a good point.

"Toxic Masculinity?

43% of boys are raised by single mothers.
78% of teachers are female.

So, close to 50% of boys have 100% feminine influence at home and 80% feminine influence at school.

Toxic masculinity isn’t the problem.
The lack of masculinity is."
Alex Moreno

Sometimes though men do need to step up and stop bad behavior.

That one is funny but might be pretty accurate.

Meh, I didnt think the commercial was good or bad - just blah and lacking the depth it sought to explore. It is difficult to show toxic masculinity besides groping and assault. It is more subtle 90% of the time. Overall I say it was a fail.

Yeah very good point. I think they could have done a lot better but I suppose it's good they raised the issue.

"Sometimes though men do need to step up and stop bad behavior."
No, we dont. This attitude gets people killed.
Not to mention, perfectly innocent men such as bill cosby into prison. (If what he did is what he was accused of he did nothing wrong, same with harvey weinstein)
