I personally think that with mentions of sexual assault and harassment, it might be too heavy for younger audiences. But it's really not much different than the ads telling men to be good dads.

At work, I have to look at the HR poster of a female with a black-eye that reminds me, as a male, that it's not OK to pop my wife/girlfriend in the eye...just in case I might have been thinking about doing it.
I have to tolerate this poster because that's the place where I work and where I often put in overtime so that I can earn more money to take care of the women and children in my life.
The men I work with (women won't do this sort of work) also put in overtime when it's available because they are also willing to make sacrifices so that the women and children that they love can have a better life.
The obligation to care for our families is one men willingly accept, even if it means we will be working instead of relaxing at home.
We tolerate fighting between young males (to a degree) because we know that it will always be men that must place themselves between a threat and the women and children they are to protect and care for.
God help the male whose first real fight is with an intruder in his own home or some other situation in which the only help available to him and family he hopes to protect is his own ability to fight.
Yeah, it's a really ****ed-up world.
The overwhelming majority of men are a force for good in that ****ed-up world.
Of course, we could use a little help in this effort from our select female counterparts that find "dangerous men" sexy and marry serial killers on death row.
We could eliminate *******s in one generation if women, in their totality, would simply stop ****ing them and giving birth to their ******* offspring.
As for the people that hope to sell me shaving cream, they don't get to remind me to not rape women or gang up on the smallest kid in the class.
They also don't get to embellish traditional male values and culture in such a way as to imply that men tend to approve of sexual assault, harassment or bullying.
