Toxic Femininity!

Gaskins was at the hotel as "a getaway" from Philadelphia with her girlfriend. She was drinking while watching the Eagles game against the Saints and allegedly became angry once the Saints won, according to police. Gaskins allegedly struck the victim in the face multiple times before threatening to harm her Pomeranian.

Gaskins was not present when police arrived but when she returned and they entered the room they found the dog inside of the microwave. The microwave was never turned on and the dog was reportedly okay.

But its only men who are violent, right?

Anyone see the commercial where a company called out girls for their bullying and demeaning behavior towards other girls?

Yeah, neither did I.

Did you guys see that Gillette commercial 'The best a man can get'? Pretty pandering, but the youtube comments are hilarious. "My wife's boyfriend loves this commercial!"


Can't link to it at work, just youtube it.

I normally wouldn't comment in a thread like this, but man, why get so defensive over that Gillette commercial? When the NFL does breast cancer awareness month, is your response, "where is testicular cancer awareness month?"

There are entire movies devoted to the message that girls shouldn't bully each other.

girls bullying in school is very real. I have two girls and they tell me about it. It’s not being emphasized and addressed in the same way, but it carries equal relevance.

I completely agree with the anti-bullying and sexism message of the commercial. I don't agree with labeling the behavior as toxic masculinity because it suggests this is a male thing when it is actually genderless bad behavior. I guess Gillette had to tie it to their "best a man can be" slogan.

Gillette/Procter & Gamble does not give a rat's ass about 'toxic masculinity.' They're pandering to a hot topic that is currently resonating, or at least stirring up conversation, with the masses.

Getting triggered by this is just feeding into their marketing campaign, similar to what Nike did with Kaepernick.
