Sorry, I couldn't finish listening to her hypocrisy. She says that it's wrong to hold all men accountable for the acts of a few, then goes on and blames the leftists for promoting sex before marriage, glorifying pornography...blah blah blah. Not all leftists do these things, and leftists are not the only people who have sex before marriage, nor are they the only ones who watch porn (that's the last point I could stand listening to).

I agree with the point she was making (not all men should be held accountable for the acts of a few), but totally not the BS after the initial comments. As I said earlier I like the message at the end of the ad about setting an example, but all of the political BS at the beginning of the video was completely unnecessary.

But wait, isn't that the exact same thing that is happening in the commercial. I have yet to see an adult male or female not break up kids legitimately fighting as an example yet you like the commercial. One you like and the other you can't stand. Give me a break.

Men are being forgotten and pushed aside. Men of all races.

Progressives should stop avoiding men's issues
That women remain victims in many ways does not negate the reality that many men are struggling with economic and cultural changes, and that there are ripple effects.
By Andrew L. Yarrow JANUARY 21, 2019 — 6:24PM

Millions of American men are disconnected from work, children and family; are in poor physical and mental health; suffer from addiction and isolation; and struggle with what it means to be a man. Yet, most progressives — who claim to care about all of society’s underdogs — seem to assiduously avoid these issues. Instead, their main concern when it comes to men is that too many men remain wedded to “traditional” notions and norms of masculinity. Problems facing men of color are largely seen through the lens of race, not gender.

The very phrase “men’s issues” conjures up images of bitter, angry white guys who stupidly don’t realize that they are oppressors and on top of the world. In the era of #MeToo, men don’t have problems; they are the problem. To some, even talking about men’s problems can brand one as tone-deaf and sexist.

I am a liberal; I have studied and supported feminism, and I know well that sexual harassment and assault are sickeningly common. But the fact that women remain victims in many ways does not negate the reality that many men are struggling and are victims of economic and cultural changes — ones that often also hurt women, children and society.

The data on male well-being tell a bleak story for a large minority of American men. About 20 million men have abandoned work (or work has abandoned them), as the male civilian labor force participation rate has fallen from 85 percent in the mid-1950s to 69 percent in November (and this excludes 2 million incarcerated men). Median inflation-adjusted income for all U.S. men was just 1 percent higher in 2017 than it was in 1973, and incomes for about 80 percent of men have stagnated or declined. About 8 million to 10 million fathers never or rarely see their minor children — and most of those fathers are not “deadbeats.”

Young adult males have higher poverty rates than their counterparts 40 years ago, and 25-to-34-year-old men are significantly more likely to live with their parents than are women their age. Twice as many men as women are hard-core gamers. Compared with girls, boys have more behavioral problems and lower average academic achievement, and they are much less likely to graduate from college. The millions of formerly incarcerated men have few prospects for a decent life.

Life expectancy, which remains stagnant among women, is declining among men. Males bear the brunt of opioid overdoses and alcohol addiction. Suicide is three and a half times more common among men than women. Many men are lonely or disengaging from society, as membership in unions and organizations that foster male camaraderie, such as Rotary and Elks clubs, has cratered. Males’ anger is rife toward women, employers, government and “the system” — which too often leads to misogyny and violence.

Helping all people in physical, socioeconomic and psychological distress should be a defining characteristic of a humane, caring and democratic society. However, in our bitterly divided times, these foundational goals have been politicized: Many on the right have drawn attention to men’s problems — some thoughtfully, but more often to bash feminism and women. Many on the left are silent because they are implausibly unaware of such issues or, more likely, less willing to highlight them because doing so would be deemed politically incorrect.

This failure of liberals not only is morally wrong, but it also hurts their own prospects of winning broader support among men. Those on the left should wake up and heed the words of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

I'll consider giving the wench some consideration as soon as she has the draft rules modified to ensure being drafted is gender neutral, and combat deployment too. If she does that, then I might think she's serious, but I bet she wouldn't touch the subject, other then to say "get rid of the military", with a 10-foot metal coat hanger.

Hi, legit question: Why does this commercial upset anybody?

I am so confused why people are mad about this. Seems pretty straight forward: Don't be a piece of shit, and call out other people for being pieces of shit.
