Gillette doesn't like Barbeque?

[Evang.Benincasa]

There is a commercial by Gillette which is trying to redefine masculinity?
Some how barbeque represents toxic masculinity? Boys being boys represents toxic masculinity?

Being a man is toxic.

Hairy armpits and legs on women?

Reports I'm reading say the Gillette Company is hemorrhaging due to a huge sales loss from airing their "toxic masculinity" advertisement. In response to Gillette, the Egard Watch Company did an advertisement. After it aired, their sales skyrocketed. Read about that HERE.

This is the Egard Watch Company's advertisement.

This "toxic masculinity" thing is absurd for many ways, IMO. We're being told that boys, teens and adult men are exhibiting signs of "toxic masculinity."

Stats claim that 1 in 4 children are in a single parent home without a father, the stat I saw says over 17 million children without a father, living in a single, matriarchal home.

Now, these 17+ million kids in matriarchal homes also attend schools which have an overwhelming majority of female teachers -- 76%. If you look at General Education teachers, it's even higher -- 90%.

And yet somehow, with all that estrogen, males, teens and adult men, still exhibit "toxic masculinity."

If anything, it's the opposite. Boys and men are increasingly becoming effeminate and weak.

There is something to be said for the ministry and annointing that can be had when channeling righteous anger tempered with restraint and love.


If you look at why men are being attacked...it is our ability to lead and its also demonizing our natural aggression.



It is crippling and artificially remaking and removing as choices the strengths that God made that are unique to our gender.


Remove the greater threat first and reduce a man down to where any anger or aggression even when displayed and used correctly is considered to be taboo and immoral and when the wolves suddenly descend upon the women and children ..lesser men will surrender because the alternative is culturally abhorrent.


We see this holy anger manifest in stories like Samuel cutting the wicked king Agag to pieces and also Jesus driving the money changers out of the temple....


That white hot holy rage flash boils away fear, inaction and apathy...it spurrs action that one is incapable of performing only under those specific circumstances...it allows man not just the ability to be just a man...but a spirit filled man becomes an available vessel for Godly corrective action and course change.


It is a warfare mindset where we balance gentleness to our loved ones but we draw a sword against the threat of the enemy...our non flesh and blood enemy.
