Women who are making fun of men for being offended by the Gillette ad are being extremely hypocritical and it drives me mad.

Whether you agree with it or not, some men have taken offense to the things said and the ideas being pushed by the recent Gillette advertisement. With these feelings being brought to light on social media I've started to see many different instances of women criticizing the feelings of these men stating that "they should only be offended if they are the toxic male audience that Gillette is criticizing" and it drives me mad. Why can every other group of people feel offended but when straight males are targeted and feel as if they are being unfairly portrayed it is socially acceptable to mock these claims for internet clout? Why can't men feeling offended by something be considered legitimate?

Now I know that Gillette's intent with the ad was made with good intent however I feel as if the delivery was a bit heavy handed and feel that they deserve the criticism. Sorry for the rant.

Edit: I get off work and check my phone and wow this got a lot of attention. I'm glad it sparked some debate and also THANKS FOR MY FIRST GOLD AND SILVER! ❤ HOLY SHIT PLATINUM THANK YOU KIND STRANGER!
