Toxic masculinity – Meet the CEO Who Put His Company on the Line to Stand Up to Gillette’s ‘Toxic Masculinity’ Ad

The Gillette ad rubbed me the wrong way. I, like the overwhelming majority of men, am absolutely disgusted by sexual assault, rape, bullying, so why throw it in my face as if my “gender” as a whole is toxic? Using terms like “toxic masculinity” is using too broad a stroke to address specific issues — issues which I agree very much need to be addressed, especially after all the crazy stuff we’ve seen in Hollywood. I am not against Gillette trying to start a conversation about assault, but I do have an issue with how they went about it.
