    I was advised I should be ashamed of myself for not only being a man but also for acting like one. Fear not my delicate little snowflakes!!! I shall ride the Floop to return to your appropriate stasis. From the Greek: :thumbsup:!

    Their ad may have worked by gaining a buzz for their name but the messages being sent out by companies these days are odd, for a lack of a better term. With far reaching platforms (social media) it seems everyone wants to be a social hero as of late.

    If I were a business owner I’d want to stick to just selling my product and not push business away just because of personal beliefs. Since I am not I just keep my mouth shut other than my ramblings on here.

    It’s really not all that hard to not make every waking moment a conversation about controversial subjects.

    I refer to the weasl on these matters. Female sensitivities with a disdain for useless drama – perfect consultant. Barring that...seems like you're doing okay, DangerD. :)

    I don't even know what that even means?!?
    I tend to stand with @Cornholio and @mike on this.
    I am not going to apologize for being a man.

    I saw a joke on Fakebook the other day.
    Was I the only one that took my clothes off at a Gender Reveal Party?

    :sneaky: Viva El Macho!

    I'm all about the higher road.
    But just funny when some hot chick struts by in her Daisy Dukes and I'm supposed to look like this :gotnothing: as she passes by like in that video.
    ...and I suppose that means we should delete the MTB Hotties Thread, right?
    Or are we just looking to satisfy outward social perceptions.
    @Cornholio 's right...

    @DangerDirtyD ... I say just continue to be the Chicken Nugget Manwich you always have been!

    The flip side is that there are guys like this in the world, and they 100% need to be called out, and penalized.

    That's the extreme end of the continuum, but there's a lot of nastiness that happens towards women that needs to end.
    I'm okay with that being put to a stop.

    Toxic people are bad... unfortunately most of the ones in positions of power happen to be male.

    Two wrongs don’t make a right. Call out those who deserve it but I hesitate to accept the current trend of calling out the unrelated masses.

    Maybe I just don't understand or advanced senility is creeping in.

    What is wrong with being respectful to others and not bullying and harassing?

    I'm not seeing behavior recommended in this video that I disagree with.

    Nothing is wrong with being respectful to others and not bullying and harassing. In fact I will always defend the harassed and bullied.
    I don't think anyone is diss'ing the video.

    I DO think that we have a current social trend that for me (has been for quite some time) that downplays men.
    I recognized in our Sitcoms long ago where the wife is the smart one and the men are the dumb one. Now we are getting the social beat up for acting "manly".
    Seems our Nation is trying to neutralize our two sexes. Gender neutral clothes, gender neutral bathrooms, gender neutral hair styles...

    As far as the video, one thing stuck out. The girl walking down the sidewalk dressed for attention and when she got it, the other dude said, "Not Cool".
    Heck we don't even know what the guy was going to do? Say to himself, "WOW! She's hot!" Or chase her down and ask for her number. What, women can wear what they want and not expect a reaction?
    Don't want to be noticed? Don't where things that will get you noticed. That's all for me in the video. ;)

    Exactly....nobody on the planet other than a complete douchebag agrees that ANYBODY, male or female, finds legitimate sexual harassment, domestic violence or even mean spirited bullying for that matter to be acceptable behavior. The backlash that I've seen so far is because many people believe the video is implying that all men are disrespectful to woman. The scene where a guy is taking notice of an attractive woman strolling by and the one where a dad runs over to keep two boys from wrestling around are silly (as in stupid). It's not inappropriate to notice attractive women and boys wrestling, playing football and other competitive sports should be encouraged.

    Guys (and gals) all I was trying to do was come up with a clever way to diss the Floop.
