boy: But Gillette is facing backlash for its latest ad, which takes on toxic masculinity, bullying and harassment, according to Nine News Australia. The ad presents some of the worst of male behaviour - a boy bullied and called a sissy, audiences laughing along as a man on a sitcom grabs at a woman's behind, a businessman in a corporate boardroom condescending to a female employee - while a voice over notes that men keep on making the same old excuses Boys will be boys. To improve your experience update it here News World Why Gillette advert slamming toxic masculinity is drawing cheers and anger By CNN2 20pm Jan 19, 2019Facebook Tweet Mail It shouldn't be a controversial proposition The best a man can be is kind instead of cruel, generous instead of petty, protective instead of predatory. And then it transitions to images of men doing better Intervening against sexual harassment, teaching self-love to their daughters, promoting peace over violence, all while little boys watch and absorb. It's sad but predictable that imploring men to be better - not just for women, but for other men and boys - is met with such hostility from people who apparently accept the lie that cruel and predatory behaviour is part of men's natural makeup. It's only by challenging ourselves to do more, the ad concludes, that we can be our best.
