I have a difficult time trying to find something wrong with this.This is what they taught me as a youth in our Mormon churches.
This is what we were taught in Boy Scouts when Boy Scouts was called Boy Scouts of America.
This is what I was taught in sports during my secondary education years.
The core message I took away is a great man leads his male peers to do and act morally, respectfully, and justly. A couple of the clips in their montage was of men who stopped fights and taught young men what being a man is about.
How is this toxic? This is masculine. This is manly.
You don't have to be a neckbeard to respect women. In fact, shave your neckbeard and just don't say or do the creepy things like the advert pointed out.
Why is it considered unmanly to be a moral leader to your group of male friends? You don't have to be an SJW. Just act and say like they did in the advert. Don't get preachy. Keep the response very short and sweet. Don't dwell on it.
Masculinity in general does get a bad rap. The bully jock, the bro, the predator. Was a staple of every teen movie ever.
They existed, sure, but you hardly see positive masculinity, unless it's someone like The Rock or Samuel L. Jackson headlining.
