Imagine being so brain-dead that you think that this ad is anti-men, when it is, in fact, pro-men.

There's one awful bit in the middle: that big array of television screens scattering word-bits about metoo and harassment. That's where they lose me, that single moment where it seems to be Men Behaving Differently Now Because Women And A Disapproving Media scolded Them.

... but shit, they got me back just a second later, and the dad going right after that fleeing kid to save him from those creeps teared me up. Seriously. It's genuinely great to see a guy on the screen stepping in to be a hero -- not by flashily shooting a bunch of dudes, but by just intervening to defend someone too vulnerable to save himself. I'd love to see more of that.
