Gillette went on n a tear against men a couple years ago. Their commercials on TV and various other ads aggressively framed all men as perpetrators of wrongful or terrible acts. It was called “toxic masculinity. I stopped buying their products and have not looked back. Haven’t noticed much from them since.

I've seen enough damage done by toxic masculinity that I applauded the ads. It didn't apply to me or my 3 boys because we don't do that. If you think it framed 'all men' then I don't think you were paying attention.
"We believe in the best in men." "We need to hold other men accountable. To say the right thing, to act the right way. Some already are."
That's not framing all men as toxic. Which bit didn't you understand?

@Abstraction Abs, That’s what I never understood ! Why would any man who likes women have a problem with this ? The only men who should’ve felt bad were the ones who knew they were guilty of what they were describing.

@Angelogaggi Respect people. Treat women with respect. Don't resort to violence to solve problems.
