Gillette's New "Toxic Masculinity" ad-is "toxic masculinity" a real problem or is this just toxic political correctness?

[Wazzzup]

I think there definitely is a problem with toxic masculinity.



However it is not just an American problem. I suppose an extreme example in the eorld are young men who join ISIS & emulate an extremely toxic form of masculinity. Somehow I don't think your average American male is quite there yet. Still it is a problem



It's everywhere on the planet and is affecting other cultures too.



The ad addresses the problem but not its causes.



Its not enough to say "I will be a nice guy" without cutting out the toxic influences.



For starters perhaps today's young men are exposed to too much violence on tv & the internet. They're encouraged to take performance enhancers like steroids and red bup. To be mma macho men. To bully cheat & lie. So they can change the face but if the underlying causes aren't addressed then the problem will still persist.

Hmm.  Legit post? or Joe's toxic trolling???

Well Lump, I notice the difference over the past 20 or 30 years in Canada.



While theres always been problem males, they seem so much more belligerent and aggressive mow.



I used to rent a room out in my building but I don't do that anymore because I've had too many problems. Today's young men lie cheat bully and steal. They're all so goddam dishonest too.



I had roommates who got into fights with neighbors and the management in my building.



Heck as a straight heterosexual nonsense guy I cant handle them so little wonder that they get this label of being 'toxic'



Btw I don't consider myself as politically correct

Wow, I had no idea you were such a feminist until now Joe.



BTW statistical evidence contradicts your conclusions about Canada.  If males in Canada were getting worse you would expect to see violent crimes like murder and attempted murder to be rising, but they are not.  They are actually decreasing in fact.

How do you explain that?

Well thats news in the Internet or articles you read.



But in the real world today's alpha male wants instant gratification el pronto.



They're inconsiderate theyre not taught to wait & many don't have any manners.



They think because something appears instantaneously with the click if a button that you should comply with their requests instantaneously.



Btw if you think i'm just picking on men, i've also noticed that many of today's females are a lot meaner than they used to be. A female friend of mine with 2 young daughters says she notices that.



I think its just a meaner more demanding world we live in now.



And its reflected in the habits and behavior of the younger up and coming generation

I have concerns over the young generation as well.  But there is no evidence to support what you have said that young Canadian males are becoming more violent.  



That's your typical Joe M.O. --you state your opinion, then someone else shows you what you said is completely untrue by citing facts, and then you just restate your opinion again like it never happened.

Coincidentally Lump about a day after this post, I encountered a group of late 20s early 30s young men.



And they were incredibly rude & disrespectful.



I believe they were from the States.



I experience this a lot from this new generation whether they are American Canadian or Australian.



Young men who are pricks.



The only silver lining is I'm relieved theyre not my offspring



Given what Ive seen im sure glad I don't have a son.



Must be scary if you have a daughter



Lock er up man! A lot of these young guys are animals dishonest cant trust them anymore



Geez their parents did a poor job of raising them.

What you are doing is citing anecdotal evidence which is unscientific.

'from the web--



Anecdotal evidence is often regarded as unreliable because it is based on someone's personal testimony. When one person's experience is used as proof that the same would happen or apply to a larger group of people, the 'evidence,' as such, should be examined using the scientific method to verify credibility.



Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes, i.e., evidence collected in a casual or informal manner and relying heavily or entirely on personal testimony. ... Accurate determination of whether an anecdote is typical requires statistical evidence.



Statistical evidence contradicts what you have said.  Therefore your anecdotes are unscientific and invalid.

Good one Wazzzup lol.

If anybody got in my face like that Native guy or those black guys shouting racial slurs, i'd beat the frickin shit out of them. And I would be tried and convicted in the prog media as a racist, violent hate monger. The United States has is prognazi crazy.

Yeah, I am with you on that. Getting in my face with that "hey yayayaaa" bullshit wouldn't make me happy.



But one thing you can be sure of, old Sitting Bull wouldn't dare pull that crap on an adult male.

The Indian banging a drum is a lying, shit stirring coward.

Picking on kids, too.

He would be the first one of those bullying cowards I would punch out.

[Bricktop]

Maybe just ram that stupid drum over his greasy head.

It amazes me that the sicko left turned the kids into the bad guys,  and made the lying native guy their hero because he was dissed by a smirk from a white boy (oh the horror!) and ignored the black hate group that yelled crap at these kids for over an hour straight.



But then that's why they are the sicko left.

Of course the cowardly liberals mobs who talk about punching children would never do that to guys like this or Herman in real life.  They would be wetting their little manginas and running away.

He will be waiting a LONG time before anyone takes up that offer.

I know, kids! Threats to beat them and kill them over nothing! It aint right. They should sue for deformation of character now that the truth is out.

I believe that they have a solicitor working on it.
