Was that a real one?
It’s an ad saying “these things are wrong. A real man should stand up against them, rather than just letting them pass.” And who are the people who are upset? The people who do the wrong things. They claim it’s insulting men, since apparently violence and sexism are part of being a man.
I’m glad you made this thread, dropzone, as I had to hold my tongue in the other thread. Pissing off these assholes is a bonus at this point. We need to stop with this fragile masculinity stereotype, and stop pretending that the “real men” are the ones who get offended.
It is funny, BTW, how it inverses when it’s about them. When, say, a comic attacks transgender, Asian people, and school shooting survivors, anyone who gets upset is a snowflake.
You sure whine a lot. Is it warm where you are? Are you melting?
My brother is very angry about this ad. His argument includes the fact that the ad “penalizes men being men,” and that he equates being manly with “working extra shifts to provide for his family.” He also claims that it’s inappropriate to behave misogynistically. I can’t quite parse how he believes all of those things at the same time.
He’s angry that “they won’t be happy until we’re all butthurt soy boy GameStop ma’ams.” Really frustrating to be related to him when he acts this way in public.
Will you hear it from some rando on a message board? Because you need to be better.
Conservativism is an ideology which promotes rugged masculinity by means of insufferable whining.
I love this!
I swear to God if these motherfuckers turn straight edges into the new “fedora” I will be a very angry man with a lot of sharp steel. Your neckbeards will not save you. I am well aware that this makes me part of the problem, but I’m doing my best to make up for it in other ways, and my inner sociopath assures me that the numbers work out for good in the end.
Sorry but I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. The “motherfuckers” are the people who think it’s ok to justify any kind of abusive behavior by a male with “boys will be boys”, or the people who say that’s not a justification any more than “oh gosh well I’m just a little girl” is?

Never get a woman a P&G product.
The abusers, but from a flippant approach. I like using a straight razor to shave. It seems like exactly the kind of thing the red pill idiots would latch onto as performative masculinity. If that association happens with straight razors as it did for long coats, men’s hats and Hawaiian shirts I will be very cross. I am under no illusion this is the actual problem, or even an actual problem. I apologize for the lack of clarity, most of my writing these days is meant for me and I usually understand my own nonsense.
Thanks for the clarification 
For what it’s worth, I understood you just fine. It helps that I know the culture you are referring to more than I wish I did.
I didn’t. In my culture, old drafters, a straight edge is a tool to help you draw straight lines. It turns out you meant straight razors, which hipsters picked up years ago.
The women in question get their own products, thanks. But why on Hastur’s xanthous Earth wouldn’t I?
Do you take all advertising this personally? Must be exhausting…
If an advertisement telling you not to be a jackass offends you then there is really only one conclusion. Hint: it’s not flattering to you.
My god, this ad is like an asshole self-own Rorschach test.
Bunch of fucks.
Look, its not their place to tell anyone how to act. Especially since they (a) have a history of being sexist themselves and (b) don’t give a shit about sexism and only want to make money. It’s like being told not to be sexist by Trump
