I agree that men also get the wrong messages from advertising, along with the pressure to look a certain way physically. I don't think it's as pervasive as it is with women. I think men have been given a warped view of what it means to be a man - Boys will be boys, Only sissies cry, etc..... https://www.healthline.com/health-news/mental-masculine-ads-distort-mens-perceptions-030313#1 https://www.healthline.com/health/mens-health/traditional-masculinity

Well, at least men are getting called out on their behaviour. Women get called out for their weight, their face, their body, you name it. And yes, women have resented the implication for many, many years. And when women complain about it, they're told they're "getting hysterical." It's interesting to see when the shoe is on the other foot.

Calm down, Men! You're getting all hysterical

Ads for Women: Be thin! Be thick! Love your body! Get bigger boobs! Embrace your grey hair! Dye your hair! Wear makeup! Look natural! Hide your age! These pants are slimming..... Women: OK Gillette: Men should be less shitty. Men: Don't tell us what to do!

I've been concerned about this for a while now - the US could easily not feel we are securing our border (probably because we are not) and relations with the US/Canada could get very strained.

I love ruins! I loved the Roman Baths in Bath, England and I loved Stonehenge. The UK is great for historical ruins. Although at the end of 3 months, I was getting a bit ruined-out.

Ditto.

I do "get" what you're saying. Even though men commit like 99% of sex crimes and like 90% of over-all crime and atrocities, Gillette should focus on cunty gold-digger women manipulators.

I think it's because violent men are more of a problem in society than violent women. The same reason most breast cancer ads/campaigns are for women - men get breast cancer too. But the majority of breast cancer is in women, so the majority of campaigns are geared for women. Same thing for violence. Women are violent, too. But the majority of violence in the world is perpetrated by men. That's why this particular issue is geared more towards men. I don't believe this ad constitutes a conspiracy against men. Also, if you feel it doesn't apply to you, you can always ignore it.

Is this because you perceive the Gillette ad as "attacking" men, so you now need to divert attention from that by "attacking" women? Talking about men's issues is touching a bit of nerve for you, I think. LOL Kind of ironic, given the Gillette ad was talking about some of the ways that men invalidate women........

LOL I may agree with you on this one - to an extent. Women are generally called out for their appearance and for behaviours that are considered an asset as a man, but undesirable for females. Women have been targeted for self-improvement from the time advertising was invented. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/gillette-ad-toxic-masculinity-outrage-1.4979651

Because that is a common excuse for when men behave badly. Also, the ad seemed to me to address BOTH male-on-male violence and male-on-female violence. I see you're offended that male violence is being addressed in the ad. Is it because you feel it should have addressed violence from both sexes or do you not agree that male-on-male violence and male-on-female violence are issues?

I saw you're French, so I figured it was just a translation thing. You seem to forget that men are the problematic sex in this issue. And it's a TV ad - it's not a documentary, so it's not going to go into all the side issues. It's always amusing to me how many men take women's issues and suddenly become irate about men's issues. It's not saying that women don't have any problem issues. The same as when we say "Save the rain forests", no one is implying "Fuck all the other kinds of forests."

I think you mean "reminded" not remembered. I don't think it implied ALL men are like that at all. It seemed to me that a lot of the video was actually geared towards good men/good fathers, reminding them that this is still a problem and that all you good men out there can help in eliminating it by calling out the ones who still need to learn.

You still haven't said which parts of the ad are offensive to you. Or is it just the whole campaign you disagree with? You seem to disagree that the issue being addressed in the ad is even a problem. Why?

I think that is less of a problem than both male-on-male AND male-on-female violence combined. But if you feel it's more of a problem, then I think you should definitely get on that campaign.

It seems like a good message to me......what parts of the ad are you specifically against?

It's a fair question everywhere else. Here, it's a "racist" question.

I tossed out the Bible years ago. It started after I actually read it. (I have read it completely through 2X). It started when I read this passage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordeal_of_the_bitter_water Basically, a man who thought his wife was unfaithful could drag her before the high priest who would force her to drink some "bitter water". If she was unfaithful, horrible physical transformations would happen to her - her thighs would melt away and her belly would swell. If nothing happened, then she was deemed "faithful" and her husband was to immediately take her home and get that woman pregnant! WTF? What if you had a arse for a husband who was dragging you before the high priest on a weekly basis? Why wasn't there a "faithfulness" test for men? It was then that I realized this book was not writtten by any God. It was written by goddamn MEN. That realization allowed me to question other things, too. Spirituality - Yes Organized religion - No, thank you

I don't think the Saudis have any respect for Canada or our laws: https://globalnews.ca/news/4846977/saudi-man-sexual-assault-fled/

My understanding is that they have reserved the name - Islamic Party of Ontario - but still have some hoops to jump through before they are an actual political party. They are just in the beginning stages of forming. But they are definitely trying to become a real political party. They have even published the platform they intent to run on.

Yes, I will change my mind when you and the others who insist there is a report from a psychologist stating he is psychotic, show me the report. I've repeatedly asked for you guys to produce it and none of you have - you just keep insisting it's there. Let me know when you find it. I'll help you: HINT: Political activists are not psychologists.

I'm holding back my conclusion about him until there's more information. Eyeball stated that it is a "FACT" that he is just a run-of-the-mill psycho with no ties to Islamic extremism. It's not a FACT - until it's reported by an actual expert in that field. What is so difficult for you to understand about that? This "psychologist"? https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/furey-meet-the-spin-doctor-behind-the-hussain-family-statement The man who has presented himself as the point of contact for the family of Faisal Hussain is a professional activist who has reportedly committed himself to “framing a new narrative of Muslims in Canada” and creating a “national political movement.” But despite his familiarity with media, Hashim refused to answer questions from the Sun about the Hussain family and his connection with them, including how long he had known them and whether he reached out to them or vice versa. I didn't "push aside" what the police reported. I said 2 run-ins with the police is not evidence of him being diagnosed with any kind of mental illness. If I'm wrong, then please explain to me how it IS. Also, some family friends dispute what his family said in the statement. I don't think it's funny when people say those things. I think that's lying. His family can say anything they want - blame anyone they want. It doesn't make it a fact. No psychologist has confirmed anything they said. And him having a couple of apprehensions by the police also does not prove he is mentally ill. You are free to "think" that he is mentally ill but it is false to claim that this has been proven. It has not. And some here want him to NOT be a Muslim terrorist SO BAD that they are willing to lie and call the paid shill a "psychologist" and police reports as "diagnoses".

He seems to be talking about both? He seems to be saying that he cannot love a woman over 50 because their body isn't perfect anymore? I agree with your comments about being led by instincts - we are mammals after all - but mature people use their intellect to override those baser instincts. this guy seems quite.....ummmm.....un-evolved? For someone so judgmental about female aging, the picture of him is rather unimpressive. Old, grey, and probably a paunch, judging from his jowls.....doesn't look like that great of a catch, especially factoring in his issues with female bodies. This is what makes him unattractive to me. And probably why he is more attracted to younger, less experienced, less mature , less self-aware women. Shallow Hal comes to mind......

YOU. And now I'm done with you.
