    Unless you're shaving a bear because it's your mountaintop bear-wife, I have totally lost respect for you.

    Back in the 50's Gillette sponsored the "Friday Night Fights". Looks like it's become the Friday night circle jerk with a bunch of millennial snowflakes.

    Yep, the best answer to Gillette was someone suggested if they were really serious they should have shown what a real man does when he sees bullying, stop it.

    There is an upside to this ad.

    So this is the part where all the SJW liberal types pretend ALL men are bad, and then the conservative SJW types (yes, we have them too) all pretend that NO men are bad.

    Why can't we, I dunno, use some actual judgement and point out the actual bad behavior? Instead of these sweeping arm gestures which encompass an entire gender?

    Or you got that linebacker-sized "ma'am" rampaging through a bodega because some poor 120 pound clerk used the wrong pronoun. I don't even know WHAT that was. Is it toxic masculinity on display? Or toxic femininity on display? Or just some juiced up whacko in a Dolly Parton wig?
