As a person I approved of their message, and agree with it.

BUT.....If I was a stock holder I would be upset about it. This drags them into a argument that society is having, with little upside to their business, and its a ad about the social issue. They should have never put it out.

Does this mean Santa Claus needs to shave his beard or else he represents toxic masculinity?


And what about the fact that beards are a central part of Islamic culture. Maybe this ad can be construed as Islamophobic. Remember the first thing many people did when the Taliban were ousted from Afghanistan was shave their beards.

Even as an anti-SJW, I think using Islam as a scapegoat is getting way too old.

Hell you would be surprised the hardcore conservative type Islam is spreading out into the developed world, while the Middle East is getting their Islam modernized and liberalized. Go figure!

The ad is silly in the sense that it just reeks of jumping on the meetoo bandwagon. There's a ton of other ads and sporting event promo's showing women being treated like objects.

If we narrowly define toxic masculinity as guys that view women only as sex objects and rude bullying behavior, fine. I can go with that, start getting outside of those parameters, not so much.

Trumpets are a very fragile bunch, their feels get hurt just about every other day. If they are not crying over an advert they are crying over a hat or not being allowed on aTV show and on and on.

Those red hats just indicate another self proclaimed victim is approaching....

Pop culture glorifies the perversion of women, hence the general public thinking it is legally and socially acceptable to use and exploit women sexually.

It worked.

I haven't beat or raped a single woman since the ad was released.
