I think it’s important to lose my toxic masculinity and nurture my good masculinity.
I also think it’s important to lose my toxic humanness and nurture my good humanness.
I would like to think women would want to lose their toxic femininity as well.

Hi Gillette Sales & PR,
I'm sorry, but --- you really think this ad is going to "win friends and influence people," and,significantly, sell razor blades?
Look, I'm a daughter of a man, sister of a man, wife of a man, sister-in-law and aunt of several men, and mother of two men. None of them really need or appreciate this male-shaming ad. It actually seems anti-masculine, stereotyped, and demeaning.
I personally think toxic masculinity, toxic femininity, toxic feminism, toxic queerness and toxic non-binary all exist, and add up to toxic-humanity. But hey. We get better via faith, hope, and charity.
None of that actually influences our choice in razor blades. Y'know?
Why don't you just make and sell good razor blades, and leave the preaching to the preachers, OK?
Just my 2 cents worth.
