I don't get the outrage from this? It is trying to make us better people.
Or am I was off and this is just adding to the wussification of men?

I see so many disparaging remarks about big corporations...we often ignore how they lead.

The Gillette Ad Tells Men Not to Hurt People. Why Is This Offensive?
http://reason.com/blog/2019/01/15/gillette-ad-toxic-masculinity-men-me-tooApparently it is.
P&G marketing has been on point lately. Great mom ads for olympics (those as a Dad I wonder why I wasn't mentioned...of course the majority of P&G customers are women...they do most of the buying). Great "Like a Girl" ads. Those, since I have a super smart, strong, amazing daughter kinda make me emotional watching. And now this. This is a terrific ad...not on the same level as "Like a Girl" though. But maybe the next spot will be.
I don't understand why people are upset over the ad. It's just that they are a little tired of the stupid dad steroetype in sitcoms and stupid male stereotype overall that perhaps they don;t really listen and just look to be outraged like so many others. I'd ask anyone offended to watch it again and see what you think about it, trying to remove preconceived bias.
I do have a friend that is outraged by it. I don't understand why?

P.S. My husband doesn't get the outrage either.

The comments is where the outrage comes from.

Everyone needs reminders on why things are important from time to time.
This was just for fun and not meant to be anything other than a chuckle!
