Gender Wars!!!!
The director behind Gillette's controversial new ad is a woman whose past work includes an ode to female genitals and a short film that explores 'toxic masculinity' featuring a protagonist whose life crumbles when he becomes addicted to steroids.
The Gillette ad, called 'We Believe: The Best Men Can Be', takes aim at bullying and sexual harassment and has been viewed more than four million times on YouTube around the world, although it is only being shown fully in the U.S.
But while it has amassed 85,000 likes, it has also racked up 347,000 dislikes with some of the 98,657 comments below accusing it of being 'anti-male and anti-white' and of 'spreading pure propaganda and indoctrination.'
Kim Gehrig, the director of the new ad, is an Australian mother-of-two who lives in London, England, and has a lengthy history of taking aim at social ills through her work.

Dayam. Looks like I was accidentally correct.
To be fair I think most American kids arent even raised by their dad nowdays...
IMAGINE A VENUS AD:
A female teacher is eying the high school football team and calls in a jock for “extra tutoring”. Another teacher interrupts her saying “Not cool”. The voiceover comes on : “SOME women are already the best of women.. but some is not enough.”
Next scene is a woman threatening to abort her unborn child simply to emotionally manipulate her lover. The nurse walks in and shakes her head in disappointment.
Ya.. it definately portrayed males as being assholes and totally ignores women, who are usually way more hissypissier and gossiping and workplace bullies.
It definitely has the sense of "guys can be assholes, so please lets try harder."
Its more of a shaming commercial than a commercial with a story lesson built in.
ill stop complaining when i see a venus razor commercial against women bullies who specialize in emotional manipulation
.If you are insulted because a commercial for razors made you feel like less of a man, don't worry. You were never much of a man to begin with
Eh Joe Rogan is wayyyyy more logical and sound than that one old movie actor dude.
Then why do they have every dad lined up in the world chanting "Ehhh boys will be boys!" They are attacking the common average man. Well not really attacking... But shaming. Which is a micro-agression!
no that happens AFTER the chanters. (especially doubly so because its a short story. and the ONE dad breaking up a fight happens AFTER the huge chant of every dad in the world going "ehhh boys will be boys" and shrugging off huge insults and bullying) As in "be a resolution to the huge toxic masculinity that exists in our world" Which is one weird ****in awkward way to sell ****.
Its a toxic feminist commercial.
And to think the people incensed about this are generally the people who regularly claim that it's "the left" that overreacts all the time.
It's a commercial. If you're somehow threatened by it, you might want to meditate on what you mean by manliness in the first place.
