On the spiritual plane, which I commend her for including, the work of both inciting men into acting abusive as well as using that to demasculinize men - along with the blurring of the uniquely compatible and complimentary distinctions btwn men and women - is from the devil, who seek to pervert what God has ordained.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13. KJV)

He’s EVERYTHING that the ad supposedly encourages men to be.

The ad strongly implies men are not like this and they need to change.

Bad men are the exception.

Simple. No “man” should question another man’s manhood. Unless the clown being questioned is a bona fide ass muncher..

Let me mansplain something to you: boys will be boys. To ask them to stop grabbing random women from behind is like asking them to grow up. Without a moral system centered on God and the Bible, you can’t grow spiritually. So without it they need to be constantly reminded what grown-ups are not supposed to do.

Real women don’t want beta males.

You know what?

I am 72 years old and I have never even once seen a guy grab a random woman’s derriere.

She says she understands it’s turn off and then rationalizes it.

I’m not bothered by the Gillette commercial. I’m just never ever going to buy any Gillette projects again because of it.

Of course, they’ll keep advertising and selling it, and I’ll keep not buying it.

I may sue them though for not showing a trigger warning before the actual commercial, because I was deeply offended it by it.

"Masculine strength isn't from some twisted self-denial. It comes from discipline, faith, and love, and the support of family as well.”

Amen, sister. Amen.

It’s called piling on. I don’t have a problem with it. Just their motives.

Back in the 50s, my dad was stern about never, ever, hitting a girl. Ever. And no name calling. No racist words. No stealing. Work hard cause the world doesn’t owe me a thing. Be responsible. And, even at 11, I better not miss a house on my 5 a.m. paper route. And never loan my bike to anyone.

“so many?”, I thought the exec said there were only a few complaints.

Be patient, just wait, the wheels of justice grind slowly.

“Boys will be boys” has always been said with affection in my family.

It never did mean any of those negative things because the boys don’t live negative lives.

I read that Steve Spurrier had a rule.

Hit a girl and you are off the team.

A lot of coaches let them beat, rape etc. and stay on the team. Tom Osborne comes to mind.

If "boys will be boys" is somehow toxic, what is the alternative? "Boys will NOT be boys?" "Boys will be iguanas?" "Boys will be bony-armed limpdicks afraid of a butterfly's shadow?"

Cuz ain't NONE of THOSE gonna happen, except in a few lib households. If recognizing that boys behave like ... boys ... is somehow offensive, then things acting like the things they are must be offensive. And since most things act like what they are, there's a whole lotta offense goin' 'round.

I've never once seen this actually happen. Except maybe in some movies.

Hear, hear.

Wimpy guys in skinny jeans are such a turn off.
