A fellow on the radio the other day pointed out that every man that ran out of the amphibious assault vehicles on Omaha beach suffered from toxic masculinity. I thought it was an interesting observation.
The premise of that thread is mathematically and morally valid.Sounds like the typical post on here tbh to chuckle at the 'stupid conservatives'

If these ads take hold in our culture maybe we will be more mature in our attitudes to ‘the other’. That will mean less triggered on all sides. Who knows, maybe we can evolve culturally if enough of us get triggered enough to realize ‘we are all the same’.
I don't equate masculine with toxic. That would be just as unfair and bigoted as equating feminism with toxic.
I would argue that the war itself could be considered representative of toxic masculinity (it wasn't started by a woman, nor are most wars), but those soldiers who fought to protect freedom represented the best of masculinity. And they probably shaved with Gillette razors before boarding the boats, just sayin.
It's a main feature of "conservative" talk radio for the host to intentionally create the most ridiculously obtuse straw men to use as a talking point against liberal arguments. It seems like the more idiotic the straw man, the more it misses the entire point of the public discussion being had, the better then that conservatives can chuckle about those 'stupid liberals.'

Both?Is that a statement it a question?
I'm guessing that the people most likely to be offended by a TV commercial with a positive message are probably the same people who are most likely to be in need of listening to that positive message.
You fellows get defensive at the drop of a hat. So much angst over such a simple observation.

Nor sure if I am cheery or not but I do think that the averaging of individual personal ethical evolution provides the base line for our cultural evolution in general and that the proper way to advance the cultural needle in a positive direction is to evolve yourself.That's an awfully cheery outlook for something that is testing people's resolve not to turn towards their base instinct of rage and violence.
We ARE still apes. Threaten us and we smash things. So when I see something communicated with complex narratives I first have to check myself to wonder what it is I am seeing. Then I look towards the next man to posit his response. I'm not sure they're having the same reaction. What am I to do, try and explain the meaning of toxic masculinity? Those words are a non starter. To utter them you might as well tell people that men are evil. Their reactions will rage before I can cross the threshold towards mutual understanding.
They think shots were fired because there is a distinct misunderstanding of what, exactly, is being said. People of one perspective are wholly ignorant towards the perspective of the "other". Do you think wars were ever started over a bad translation?
Tell us more about your concern about his concern.
If there's a simple mind hard at work here, it's yours. What you are saying is that you agree with his premise that the men who stormed Omaha Beach were a bunch of rapists and wife beaters.
Keep on beating that drum.
Wouldn't that then be a fine argument for, "what is the point of such ads ?", other than saying we are on your side, buy our products. How do you argue with, the ads are useless but we support the benefits of virtue signaling. Make up your mind.the chuds are too stupid to get it.

We know the OP is a representative of the toxic right, lets silence anything and everything he has to say.
...
No problem:Nice man-shaped pile of straw you've put together there. Now I get to set fire to it!
From what I have read the OP is expressing himself without any problem. Not only that but we're responding to it like he wanted. Everything seems to be working as intended and there's no silencing going on.
You can clean up the ashes.
No problem:
"There is no silencing going on at all here", said the deaf man in the front row.
Do you hear me calling you deaf? No, I mean, 'hear it' as in take it in.
I burned to ashes probably before you were born.
Call me whatever you want, then ask me if I care. You'll get no response. Now would you like me to PM you a link to a bunch of proud toxic males who are now refusing to purchase Gillette razor blades? Hell, their whole forum is a toxic shit hole and they are proud of it.
The OP was heard, loud and clear and you don't like the response so you have to dive in and babble. Gotcha.
Right right, I know, you and VRAMdemon have meticulously and demonstrably expressed how much you don't care. I guess you're naive enough to imagine you're the first people who ever thought of saying you don't care to mask the fact that you do. How dare those proud toxic males exist. "Let's see if I can scrape some slime off them and transfer it to Moonbeam. Let's put him in that box." I am here and care about what I see as a need for less ideology and more openness to what others have to say. I think you chose to take that personally, as if the idea that you are owned by an ideology like most of the rest of the planet, was a personal affront to your dignity. Sorry. No pain no gain.Call me whatever you want, then ask me if I care. You'll get no response. Now would you like me to PM you a link to a bunch of proud toxic males who are now refusing to purchase Gillette razor blades? Hell, their whole forum is a toxic shit hole and they are proud of it.
