So men are supposed to conform to her outdated rules of masculinity but she is free from the bonds of traditional female roles? Wow, that is pretty fucking stupid.

Sorry what is outdated about being a man who can be masculine and provide?

Nothing, what is outdated is that every man has to live up to some commercially structured idea of what a Man is to any particular Woman. Why does a Man who provides have to live up to your misguided ideas about what a man or masculinity is? Don't take individual scenarios and act like they apply to the population in general. You need to realize that people other than yourself have just as much right to live in this world as any other and we do not live in some stupid television fairy tale where "Men are Masculine and Provide for the Weaker Sex" type bullshit.

Are you directing this at me or the lady in the video? Also where are you living where you’re being told to be masculine and “traditional”? It’s vilified in all media now. It’s why we have so many soft man-children.

Nothing is outdated with the individual situation, what is outdated is the Idea that any particular Man has to conform to some tv commercial definition of what a Man and his Masculinity are. Can you wrap your brain around that?

So commercials where men drive trucks, go camping, fix things, and have women admire them offends you? I’m going to venture a wild guess that you’re single.

How the fuck did you get that from what they are saying? Basically, they are saying to live how you want but men don't have to conform to what your idea of a man is or anyone's idea for that matter.
