I see Piers Morgan has decided this is his next “pretend to be absolutely outraged at something so it gets me any kind of attention whatsoever” topic. f*** off Piers, you utter c***.

I did feel it was kinda odd that the dude stopped his friend from going to talk to an attractive girl he saw walk by. Unless I missed something, nothing about that seemed inappropriate unless they were implying he was gonna stalk her and not actually talk to her.
Edit: I mean, I talk to attractive strangers in public all the time. I really don’t feel I’m some sort of animal for it

I hate very few people on this planet but Piers is one of them, and it doesn't surprise me he has picked up on this one, he was outraged about vegan sausage rolls a few weeks ago

If someone says ‘some people are criminals’ I breath easy, because I know that’s not me.
If someone says ‘Some men are liars.’ I breath easy, because I know that’s not me.
If someone says, ‘Some men have horrible, negative behaviour.’ I still breath easy because I know that’s not me.
I think getting offended by this says more about what you think of yourself rather than anything else,
Also the idea of NOT checking someone who’s being a dickhead, is some weird prisony/gang no snitching policy, which is just utterly pathetic. If my friends being a dick, I’m letting him know. Anything else is cowardice.

I guess I'm sorry for being born the way I was.

I will give Piers credit though. Before he joined Good Morning Britain I didn’t think I couldn’t love Susanna Reid any more. I was wrong.

And at the risk of sounding sexist in a thread like this, Susanna Reid is extremely friendly on the eyes.

I hate ads like this. Just commenting on it like this is doing exactly what they want when they "innocently" start a controversy due to falling sales, getting people to market their products for them by talking about it.
I hate Piers Morgan more but he's the opposite side to the same coin, he makes his money from manufactured controversy too.

I give them props for this ad. Toxic masculinity is a MASSIVE problem in our culture. And anybody who refuses to recognize that is part of the problem.

I believe one of the worst things about toxic masculinity is the massive amount of pressure it puts on young men, leading to sky high suicide rate when they dont live up to it.
So asking men to *constantly* second guess themselves isn't helping. Call me a terrible person if you want, but I didn't like the ad because you know what? I've got my own problems and policing my community is f***ing exhausting.

That's not what it said at all. It showed men bullying and harassing a woman. It didn't say all men did that. It did say that we as men have an obligation to check the behavior of others. As the saying goes, "triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” And it goes both ways. Women also have an obligation to check the behavior of other women Typical response. When someone says hey guys, you need to stop it. Someone comes along with "well about them". Let women deal with that. We should start working on our fellow men's bad behavior.

Because some men believe that this is another "this is why men suck" ad. Honestly, I feel like this PSA is needed. Because it is another "this is why men suck and should be kept in cages" ad Soon we'll be at Drow Elf Society the way things are going OK, when people talk about toxic masculinity, they are not ranting about the entire male gender, they're pointing out harmful things in society that are presented as normal in the face of "being a man". If people stop said habits, masculinity as a whole will be a lot better off.

As the saying goes, "triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” I as a man have no obligation to “check” anyone. Regardless of their gender. If you see your friend trying to attack someone and you do nothing, you are just as guilty. Even if your friend is harassing someone. You are just as guilty.

That’s the right choice man, no ones saying you’re a bad dude,

I'm less than 5 foot tall and 95 pounds. I have a 20 minute walk to my train from work, then a 20 minute walk home after that. In winter that's all after dark. Being approached by a 6'0 man at all in that situation is terrifying, and it happens about once a week for me.

Refusing to associate with someone because their beliefs/actions is an obvious consequence.
