You saw that ad as anti-male? Seriously?
Ya.. it definately portrayed males as being assholes and totally ignores women, who are usually way more hissypissier and gossiping and workplace bullies.
It definitely has the sense of "guys can be assholes, so please lets try harder."
Its more of a shaming commercial than a commercial with a story lesson built in.

I saw the commercial as a message to the men who are not assholes to stand up for what is right rather than be silent in the face of bad behavior. The men who exhibit bad behavior aren't the "norm"; their behavior doesn't correspond with the proper order of the universe, and good men who are silent need to recognize that fact. And there are good men who aren't silent, and a positive message from the commercial is that these are the men who should be emulated.

That's an interesting take on the ad; I didn't see that at all. For me the message was about teaching our sons to be better people. Not objectifying women, or being bullies doesn't sound like it's "anti-male"; it's just teaching men not to be jerks.
"boys will be boys" refers to comming home muddy or bringing a salamander home... Not sexually assualting women without permission or discarding womens opinions and then lining up rows of all the dads in the world saying "boys will be boys" just to excuse it all... Its a horrible commercial.
ill stop complaining when i see a venus razor commercial against women bullies who specialize in emotional manipulation
Here's a whole school full of boys who need to study that commercial.
Or maybe they needed a dad to teach them what real masculinity is instead of being taught it by their single mom.
Sorry but a commercial with every dad in the world lining up and explaining "oh well boys will be boys" after showing all the ****ed up bullying is offensive.

I would certainly be pro-dad and anti-single mom's raising boys. But, dads who whine about this commercial probably do an even ****tier job raising boys than women.

Then why do they have every dad lined up in the world chanting "Ehhh boys will be boys!" They are attacking the common average man. Well not really attacking... But shaming. Which is a micro-agression!

Since they're also showing a dad who breaks up a fight, and a friend who stops another friend from chasing after an attractive woman, they're clearly not referring to every man. Also, there's no uniform version of what masculinity is; which is part of the problem. For some men it is tied more to physical strength and dominance, while to others it is something else entirely. Having worked in blue collar and white collar environments, the perceouption of masculinity can vary greatly.
Indeed.

To be fair I think most American kids arent even raised by their dad nowdays...
IMAGINE A VENUS AD:
A female teacher is eying the high school football team and calls in a jock for “extra tutoring”. Another teacher interrupts her saying “Not cool”. The voiceover comes on : “SOME women are already the best of women.. but some is not enough.”
Next scene is a woman threatening to abort her unborn child simply to emotionally manipulate her lover. The nurse walks in and shakes her head in disappointment.
