Are you familiar with the false equivalence fallacy, by any chance? But once the people who come up with silly ideas like "toxic femininity" become a group of consumers worth marketing to, I'm sure there'll be some.
I'm waiting for ads showing women pigeoning for drinks in a bar, berating their husbands/boyfriends in public, pulling off the road and slapping their children when the Munchhausen's kicks in, accusing good men like Kavanaugh, and yelling "woooooooo" outside a club when Spring comes.
The woman portrayed in the boardroom scene isn't a victim of men--she's a dunce. Does she raise her hand to speak, too?
Any woman who demurs when confronted by someone speaking for her, doesn't BELONG in the boardroom.
And if Gillette et. al. want to remain credible while pointing out deficiencies in workplace settings, they might want to consider getting off of men's backs. Because the imperious male in that scene could just as easily have been an imperious female coworker or boss--as any working woman would tell them.
Well, this has been interesting. Not sure how that ad can be offensive to anyone who's secure in his masculinity, but clearly there are some very fragile men out there. Keep at it, guys!
