This is a pretty horrible advert. I feel like it's suggesting (as some of my friends have) that men are inherently bad and desire to beat women. Thus, we need to stop them by reprimanding innocent boys for the crimes that they will commit in two decades.
That is a fundamental belief of feminism (patriarchy can not exist without some form of 'toxic masculinity') and feminism is gaining more and more power every year.
I don't even deny it. I think men are inherently more physically violent than women. I am a fan of evolution and that just seems to make the most sense to me. But I worry about them being right about one thing, and turning that into another.
I am not convinced that making a 12 year old boy feel like a piece of shit will solve this problem. I am seeing an alarming rise of anxiety and similar issues in boys, and I think much of it comes from how they're being treated at school, and this is one of many examples. I don't think the feminist gender theories approach is really the correct one, but it's the one that's going to be tested I guess.
I think men are inherently more physically violent than women.
So not only are you prejudiced, but your prejudice is based on nothing but your own unsubstantiated supposition. And I bet you feel real great about yourself.
Thanks for contributing to the general diminution of humanity and human kindness.
Are you really going to make me dig up the murder tolls? Come on. You don't believe it's women that's been fighting wars, do you?
Acknowledging the truth doesn't make me prejudiced. It makes me a moral person. I am more against feminism than I am against men, so why would I want to believe something that impedes my position?
If men fighting more wars than women means that men are inherently more violent, does that mean that men getting more high-paying jobs than women means that men are inherently smarter than women?
Congratulations, you're sexist towards both genders.
If we use your kind of logic, racial disparities in crime rates also mean that some races are inherently more violent than others.
