That recent Gilette ad is fascinating and reveals what feels like culture's collective confusion over what gender is supposed to be. The ad starts by showing a sequence of 'bad' masculine actions - boys fighting, guys catcalling women, or shaming each other for crying. (Cont-)

Yeah but it's still a male-focused product, and I think that the ad was made from the masculine perspective of the problem. It is a very good way to show men what's the problem and become to deconstruct, maybe. But people love to criticize for no reason, from both sides.

It's better than most ads. It's progress. But progress is slow, and often a bit murky.

Agree.

That is the popular narrative, even in trying to convey a less toxic version of maleness even this slight adjustment has been met with vitriol There is so much wrong with American culture surrounding what it means to be a Male, and how to interact to and relate with the world.

The lunatic bit is the premise that it is the role of a shaving-products company to tell us such things. Whatever particular nonsense they come up with is secondary.

I don't mind that - ads, especially ones from established companies, seem to me to be an incredible compass for the pulse of society. Big companies are soulless, they will do literally anything they think will sell a product, and their message is based on tons of market research.

Love your neighbor as you love yourself appears to encompass everything one would need as guidance in behavior.

Yes the focus of this is males interacting with males, which can be an ok focus for one discussion among many. Do you think showing something like a moment where a woman standing up for herself to a situation and the man merely giving quiet and present support would work better?

Exactly. Collectivist Leftwing impulse in this ad has no place for individual liberty.
@Gillette ad is full of lame, obsolete gender stereotypes.
Female violence/aggression can be worse than that of males. See Sapolsky's _Behave_ and evidence all around.
