    Do you think assault or rape is acceptable? If not you agree with the ad.

    Where did anyone say white men were idiots and women are king?
    Do you think it’s too much they ask not to be raped?

    The left told us for years the phrase radical Islam is a slur. So why not toxic masculinity?

    Go ask someone who told you that.
    Are you saying that you were really referring to all Islam?

    When you claim masculinity is negative you are a sexist and when you use a racist organization as part of your propaganda you are embracing that racism.

    There is nothing better about that commercial or its sexist message.

    It's a fake qualifier? In your mind and that of the idiots at Brightfart? You Brightfart readers need to grow some thicker skin and embrace your feminine side instead of fearing it :D!!!!

    The Nerd retains his distance from all things Nancy, which is great. Enjoy it while it lasts, though. Pretty soon they'll be regarded as the most toxically masculine men on planet earth. What with all their failure to dye their hair blue and loose muscle tone.

    Are you kidding? They denied the Armenian Genocide making them no different than Holocaust deniers.

    The other co founder has been busted for racist remarks and nothing was done.

    "Is this what we want our children to be taught? That being masculine means being a sexist and bully?"

    You apparantly voted for it, and defend it here every day!

    You didn't seem to think that the President of the United States need set a better example.

    So, why are you so hard on imaginary people in television commercials?????

    If you've paid attention your entire life you should have realized three facts:

    1) American movies are anti-male

    2) American TV programs are insanely anti-male

    3) American commercials are worse than movies and TV combined.

    In every humorous commercial males (almost always white males) are the butt of the jokes.

    Everything bad that happens in a TV commercial happens to a man.

    Every contest between a man and a woman is won by a woman.

    At any given time there are 5 to 10 commercials where someone is caught naked in public. 100% of the time it is a man.

    The idea that this is masculinity it that it's an issue we have is sexist.

    Masculinity is considered manliness to deem manliness toxic is to disparage men. Bullying people isn't manliness therefore it isn't masculinity, it typically stems from insecurity which is the antithesis of manliness.

    Masculinity is not toxic. Toxic masculinity is.

    Say what everybody viewed as unacceptable for centuries is unacceptable?
    Who decided it was again?

    So I've read articles about the issues between defining toxic part of masculinity and what is considered masculine. The problem is there are parts of what is normally considered masculine that are not healthy. Boys don't cry is a classic example. I wish they would choose a different term to use, but really I think we can all recognize that there are behaviors that are unhealthy that have been considered the masculine ideal.

    And the vast majority of inventions and discoveries that have defined the human race are due to men. You take the good with the bad.

    At least men don’t mentally torture other men into eating disorders and suicide. :)

    While men tend not to have eating disorders, men most certainly drive other men to suicide.

    That's a completely different issue. You're talking about masculine stereotypes here, or representations of masculinity in popular culture.

    The term "Toxic masculinity" however clearly refers to the act of being male by itself, not the way it's represented. Which is what makes it a slur.

    Anyone using the term toxic masculinity is an insane person. If being male is toxic than being female means you’re psychotic:)

    Notice the lack of die-versity amongst the evil toxic males. The black males are shown doing ‘the right thing’ and holding evil whitey back from harassing the lovely White ladies........kinda like real life huh?? LMAO at the fake world our current day commercials try to create.........
