I’ll take an insecure guy over an asshole every time. Insecure you can work with whereas assholery has no cure.

I appreciate your thoughtful, introspective intelligent response, Scottbott.

I think your comment reveals your own insecurities more then it reveals Scottbott’s. Everyone has insecurities. Scott simply had the strength to mention his. And you felt the need to mock it. Because of your own insecurities. Being direct about your insecurities is healthy. Mocking others for theirs, isn’t.

I’m upset because it hit me in the feels at work and I teared up. How can I be a demeaned drone if I have feeeeels!
(I love this ad and can’t wait for further discussions post Footbaw)

I cried watching it. The End.

I saw one comment that really hit the nail on the head. “Those who don’t get it are the ones the ad is referring to.”

From what I’ve read, many are opposed to the “feminization” of society. Anything other than brusque (and toxic) masculinity frightens them. IMHO it’s the classic dichotomy of man vs woman, good vs evil. They might not specifically say it but I think they view women negatively, most of the time, unless women are doing…

They think they’re getting called out.

Let me guess, they also feel the need to say they don’t abuse women and are Nice Guys(TM).

My friend posted it to her feminist meme page and there’s been a huge influx of angry dudes screaming they’re boycotting Gillette now. 

You’ve been deep diving into this? May I also recommend PGEs shampoo, head & shoulders (despite cringey advertising) and ivory soap to assist with removing the stench?

That might be why Pete Davidson is so annoying

Body bag, baby.

Look, if you want to say something in these comments all I ask is that you be respectful to one another. Disagree on whatever points you want but please treat each other decently.  (Assholes and transphobes get banned.)

Wow, Tivo didn’t exist in the 1940's? Got any more hot takes. Film Reels of Hitler still exist today. I remember hearing that Hitler would have his rallies filmed on film and play them back so he could practice what got the crowd so worked up. Obviously, it wasn’t as instant as Tivo or youtube.

Yeah, no, this was a shitty take; you’re right.  We should be welcoming any discussion that breaks down taboo subjects, especially something like this, that shows that men too are feeling some kind of way about sex.  The patriarchy, as we say, hurts everyone.

Now that I really think about it, this article doesn’t affect women at all

Kinja is with you on this one. <3

You are miles from mansplaining. I think the author’s going to be embarrassed by her Bad Take as soon as she takes a minute to think about it. I hope you’re doing better with the anxiety! 

It does, you’re right. And it doesn’t at all seem like mansplaining, since you’re speaking to your own experience.
