RE: Why is Gillette's commercial against toxic masculinity so important?
The ad just target blames the whole market for the faults of a few bad individuals as a cultural phenomenon the message could have been done in a better non-confrontational way this was meant to rile viewers.
Also youtube is playing a game and pretending that the Dislike button only has 1 Million Dislikes when it was clearly 5 million and removing the votes on purpose. If that is not manipulation to a target narrative and to avoid it being put in the top 3 of Wikipedia's most disliked Video List I don't know what is.

It is a trend though
It's not "the faults of a few bad individuals," it's a culture based on violence that has been connected to masculinity for centuries.
If you don't understand it, I'm not going to explain it to you because clearly your privilege won't let you see what I'm talking about.
Check your Privilege
The ability to have a conversation is a skill, what your version of feminism espouses is a first world problems privileged position of identity politics.
You clearly show ignorance the moment their is a conflict with your own ideology.
Now that is what I would call white women privilege and 90% of people will agree that Gillette was wrong.
Men do not have an intrinsic sin or evil within them that they must spend their whole lives to atone for. While the intention may have been to challenge learned behavior what it actually does is send a message to men and to boys that they are evil and acting in a boyish way is a bad thing and that is the real issue with this ad.
At the end of the day, are you really listening to the story or are you being influenced by it. As we saw this weekend with the Covington students the rush to be first to publish a story can be biased.

(4/5) In the face of racist and homosexual slurs, the young boys refused to reciprocate or disrespect anyone. Even when taunted by homophobic bigots, which was obviously bewildering to them, they insulted no one.
