Was that a major corporation shaming people for the color of their skin?

It's a minority of people who do the shitty things. This gilette ad lays down a blanket accusation. It's horse shit.
Bashing men is one of the last of the acceptable bigotries. It's not ok.
Well put.
Hey ladies, how about we stop getting pregnant on purpose to trap a guy. Let's stop going out with no money knowing we'll just make guys pay for our drinks. Let's stop dating guys who are 50 years older than we are and destroy their families just so we can get a payday when they die. Also, let's start demanding men get treated equally in family and divorce courts.
And you know we could do that list forever.
I'm with you Catt that I wish all the assholes would stop being assholes, but a Gilette ad isn't going to do that. Rape, domestic violence (which is not exclusively a male crime), workplace harassment (again, not exclusively male), and so on might be linked to choices, but mostly has to do with wiring in their brains being broken. No rapist is going to see the ad and think "Oooooooh! I shouldn't rape a woman. Wow! I'm an asshole." Nobody who hits a woman in the heat of the moment is going to have a bracelet on with "WWGD?" to remind them to be nice.
End of the day, there's a war on being a man, while women are celebrated for being women.
Cherish us, worship us, treat us with class and respect, open doors for us, sacrifice for us, pay for us, die for us, etc. We deserve everything men have, plus to be treated better.
EQUALITY!
