| Watch Company Launches Response To Gillette ‘Toxic Masculinity' Ad; It Goes Viral |
| 2019-01-21 |
| [DailyWire] On Tuesday, Egard Watch Company released an advertisement on YouTube in response to Gillette’s controversial ad regarding alleged "toxic masculinity." The video features footage of men in various situations ‐ from fighting fires to hugging their children ‐ while the company’s founder, Ilan Srulovicz, narrates. The footage and narration are accompanied by sobering statistics relating to men. "What is a man?" Srulovicz asks as a fireman carries a child from a burning building. "Is a man brave?" The on-screen text reads: "Men account for 93% of workplace fatalities." The number comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). "Is a man a hero? Is a man a protector? Is a man vulnerable? Is a man disposable? Is a man broken? Is a man trying?" As each of the above questions are asked, the following statistics are shown on the screen: Site linked. You can even design your own watch! |

| #2 The commercial will be deeply despised by the usual suspects for that reason alone. 64:1 likes vs. dislikes speaks to the percentage of people on this planet who go along with the toxic masculinity thing. Interesting how such a tiny fraction of the population can be presented with such force. I wonder who enables this. |

| #1 Going with actual statistics as opposed to vacuous anecdotes and stereotypes is brilliant. The commercial will be deeply despised by the usual suspects for that reason alone. |
