Also, the fact that they need to spark controversy in the media just to get attention is a bit crazy. ]]> 2019-01-24 14:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/323937798 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/323938200 2019-01-24 14:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/323938200 wwu21 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/323938526 I'm really sick of this because I just want to shave or buy nikes or drink pepsi or whatever without political stuff attached]]> 2019-01-24 14:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/323938526 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/323939535 I personally think that the ad is more centered around stereotypes regarding men than "toxic masculinity". It deals with issues such as bullying. However it is still evident that Gilette is trying to take a political stance. I personally am against the fact Gilette is taking a stance.

1. It's quite extreme. Saying that boys can't wrestle with each other is unrealistic.
2. This is simply a political move. With the #MeToo movement and a lot of political pressure on this issue, which is a real issue, but ]]> 2019-01-24 19:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119672 geaston21 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119683 Good that Gillette, a company that literally defines what masculinity is with their ads, is changing their image & the image of what masculinity & stop fueling toxic masculinity itself.
Bad, because they are definitely trying to profit off of the MeToo movement for the sake of selling a product. Also, the message they are saying is generalizing both masculinity & toxic masculinity together. Two kids play fighting isn't the same as sexual harassment, so why is it in the same ad. ]]> 2019-01-24 19:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119683 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119864 I like the ad. Toxic masculinity is still a current thing today. its sending the message that it is up to us to inspire and teach the next generation. i don't necessarily thinks it generalizing all men. i think its addressing the effects that toxic masculinity can have. i dont think its saying that all men are bad, i think its saying that in the past or maybe even now people have let toxic masculinity go, or the fact that it really hasnt started to be addressed until now]]> 2019-01-24 19:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119864 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119912 2019-01-24 19:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119912 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119926 This add should be removed]]> 2019-01-24 19:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119926 https://padlet.com/cedwards54/jgwmsebl7u1u/wish/324119927 This ad conveys the message that men are predisposed to being violent and aggressive which is often excused by the following sentence: "Boys will be boys".

However, it gives the idea that it is always the man's fault. In many situations, allegations are false, and blame does fall upon the women in some cases.
