For a long time, men have been condition to a toxic masculinity were they can't be vulnerable, however, this ad challenges this idea by saying it is okay for men to do all these things that in the past were not seen as "manly".]]> 2022-01-24 17:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009349361 https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009356732 This ad asks the questions that for years men and boys have been told to avoid. Men in the past were told there were certain ways to act and certain things that "men" shouldn't do. This ad challenges this idea by overwhelming the viewer with so many different men doing things that they "shouldn't and it closes with the question "Is it okay for men to be themselves". This question builds confidence in the men and boys that ask themselves this every day. The men that think these things are not alone any more. Their thoughts are valid and they will feel more comfortable doing things that they have been previously told not to do.]]> 2022-01-24 17:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009356732 https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009363499 What the axe ad is trying to say for the men to be themselves.The add presents these question to us and the masculine idea that have been implanted into us since a young age For years the these questions have been lurking in the back of their minds but never really said out loud.

It relays words such as "Now you can shave just a little. You can shave a lot. You can shave to stand out. You can shave to blend in" ultimately, reassuring that there is no specific outline or rubric that men need to stick to. There was even a transgender man included in the video! There were men of all colors, sizes, sexuality, and hair shape/size!

One doesn't have to look a certain way, and can express themselves the way that they want to express themselves and still be a man. It shows the progression of expression through shaving and facial hair. ]]> 2022-01-24 17:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009378498 https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009380152 This ad challenges the "boys will be boys" excuse that is often used to justify sexual harassment. It starts by showing different situations where men and boys are allowed to be violent and their actions are ignored simply because it's a common occurrence. As it progresses and the "boys will be boys" chants get louder, those situations are shifted to show men stepping in to stop. Gilette's slogan "The Best Men Can Be" is used to signify how a real man is one that stands up for what is right and treats people with respect. ]]> 2022-01-24 17:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009380152 https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009395331 The Harry's Shave, or don't Ad affirms that whether shaving or not, a man is still a man.

They're challenging the phrase "boys will be boys", which has been used for forever to excuse bad behavior, whether it be aggressiveness, violence, or inappropriate advances towards girls. Rather than putting them responsible for their actions, we as a society have dismissed it as being "typical" behavior, which then teaches boys that they're can get away with it and continue acting irresponsibly. ]]> 2022-01-24 18:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/emilievancelette/bqpshsyzcp8zpl6x/wish/2009454473
