the chance of more people rethinking their wrongful behaviour toward toxic masculinity is a bad thing?
I am gonna ask you then, do you think that my small change in the ad would have actually made the whole situation worse? and how exactly?
Yes, because men are largely the ones not listening. You're proving my point by
constantly taking the focus off of us and missing the message.
If you think the message in this ad was "everyone should be held accountable for toxic masculinity", you're wrong and not listening.
Terry Crews clearly says "
men need to hold other men accountable".. it's in the ad you watched dude. This is a message to men, about men. Because it's not pretending like there's a level playing field and conveniently ignoring the imbalance of power and historical context, like you are.
So, including women in any way absolutely takes the focus off of the real problem, which is that men have a history of abusing their power and should be held accountable.. you know.. because
women have absolutely nothing to do with that.
Even ignoring this, all that happens to this ad when you add women into the mix is you give dudes an excuse to shift a discussion about OUR behavious to a discussion about EVERYONE'S behaviour.
Further more, how is an ad about the best a man can get suddenly have a tinge of "and women dont forget yall got issues too!!"
The fuck?
Imagine being so fragile and unwilling to listen that you take a message to men and dump it back onto women.
