The concept of collective responsibility, as if all men are individually responsible for all acts of all males, is a simple extension of the sexist attitude that "all men are the same". This juvenile stereotyping of a social group as a collective, is the behavioural basis of tribal discrimination that empowers xenophobic feminists.

peanutbutterjams · 2022-03-17T05:56:00+00:00

The feminist version is verbal / mental abuse.

How about showing a bunch of teenage girls shitting about men online and then showing a boy reading it at home, crying.

You can even make the kid black and disabled so that feminists will actually care about him.

(P.s., I can't be the only one to have noticed the race of the guy who spoke up. Black people are 3.5% of the population but you obviously couldn't have the white guy speak up in defence of women because that ruins the narrative.)

The Mayor of London must be friends with Gilette.

Phantombiceps · 2022-03-17T06:23:27+00:00

What does this even have to do with gender? Any person on his or her own can get harassed by a group of anyone. Teenagers, women, men, people of different clique, race, nationality, city, age cohort, sexuality, social class, career type, employment status... etc. That could be an air force pilot harassed by marines, southerner by northerners, punk rocker by country music fans, prep school vs public school, whatever

Equality is equality - let's see the Toxic Femininity ad, now.

Until then, this will not be taken seriously. Choke on it, women.

reasonNlogic28 · 2022-03-17T16:50:55+00:00

From the video:

"If you see this, say something"

I've personally never seen this behavior, not to this degree. You know why?
Because the woman said no, not interested, leave me alone. And the man did.
You know who said nothing in this video?
The woman. There should be a video out there telling women to make their intentions clear by speaking up for themselves.

LettuceBeGrateful · 2022-03-17T18:18:46+00:00

Why would I even be friends with anyone who treats women that way? I've had TwoX users tell me that I need to stand up to the rapists and sexual assaulters in my life, but...why tf would I ever associate with those guys in the first place? Would I really be a good person if I regularly hung out with Rufus Rapist and Gary Groper, but hey, I tell them off most of the time so it's okay?

here’s another, when they change scene i thought it would be one with reversed genders… nope

Stand_Alone50 · 2022-03-17T07:34:40+00:00

This is basically just the feminist version of verbal abuse like what other commenter said in here, its just sad this is what current society is now

Care-BareHair3 · 2022-03-17T07:35:28+00:00

The Mayor is a Labour Party member - its a shame they didn't have a word with themselves in Rotherham. It's a shame they didn't have a word with themselves in Newcastle. It's a shame they didn't have a word with themselves in Telford...

At least the advert doesn't break the Golden Rule:

Those that virtue signal in public, are ALWAYS a piece of sh1t in private!

Theraria · 2022-03-17T10:00:20+00:00

Ironically, the only time I've seen something like this happen, it happened almost exactly like this except the guys stepped in sooner.

Then the douch got ripped for 6 months for being inept.

It's almost like they are trying to insinuate most men don't have a conscience >.<

Huffers1010 · 2022-03-17T11:46:26+00:00

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has promoted that catchphrase in the last few days. Khan is a Muslim. I wonder how he'd react if I walked up to him and said "You know what, Sadiq, next time there's a terrorist incident or grooming gang motivated at least in part by the religion you support, have a word with yourself. Would that be OK?"

For the avoidance of doubt, no, that absolutely would not be OK, and for the record, yes, I would say exactly the same thing about any other religion in equivalent circumstances.

Comments are turned off, as are number of upvotes/downvotes.

You can have a word with yourself.

But you're not allowed to have a word with the Mayor of London.

With YouTube.

Or anybody else who sees this video.

the314159man · 2022-03-17T02:58:37+00:00

I'm never buying anything from London again.

IronJohnMRA · 2022-03-17T12:28:13+00:00

"Mayor's Office London"

Yes, we've heard about him recently. So this is a trend, not a one off.

Mythandros · 2022-03-17T16:40:17+00:00

Reported for hateful/abusive content.

coffeeinvenice · 2022-03-17T22:27:40+00:00

Yes, you should watch this video and have a word with yourself. Then, have a word with your mates.

Ask yourself, "Do you really want a person who would disparage all London men with an ad like this as Mayor of London again?"

Then, have a word with your mates. Get them to agree to not vote for Sadiq Khan in the next election for Mayor. Or any other election he is in, ever again.

Soda_BoBomb · 2022-03-17T08:07:16+00:00

Reported it, not that it will matter.

Imagine if it was changed slightly. Make all the characters black, make the ones doing the harassing gang members, then talk about how gang violence starts with harassment. Have a word with your mates, and yourself.

Or make them all Muslim and talk about how rape gangs start with harassment.

Or show a woman throwing acid or glass in someone's face because they broke up with her.

qupOqup · 2022-03-17T05:26:45+00:00

1:27

male violence against women and girls

1:29

can start with words

1:31

but it doesn't stop there

1:39

if you see it happening

1:41

have a word with yourself

1:44

then your mates

this the transcript, one reading could be that men are some how all the same or you could take the reading of if you see some guy being a cunt tell him to stop

LettuceBeGrateful · 2022-03-17T08:35:34+00:00

normally this wouldnt be an issue , and the message is good , but i have seen women exhibit this exact behaviour in clubs and in street and no one calls them out

tasfa10 · 2022-03-17T04:38:28+00:00

To be fair "have a word with yourself" clearly means pay attention when your conscience tells you to intervene, like the guy in the video.

nyarlathotep999 · 2022-03-17T14:29:10+00:00

Yeah they should have something related to the prevalence of female perpetrated child abuse and murder. Imagine...

Y'know, 1 mom has fight with dad starts to take it out on the child...stops just b4 strangling her 2yo in the bathtub.

Another wife is eyeing an obviously underage pool boy, starts harassing him... stops short of undressing.

Another woman is aggressively fighting with a defensive husband, pulls out frying pan.... stops short of hitting him upside the head.

Male Voice cuts in: Have a word with yourself...

flash to these women in group therapy.

Male voice continues: Have a word with your friends...

Practical-Rip6471 · 2022-03-17T10:04:53+00:00

And yet they go ALL out to ban any reference to Mgtow! Which says, when faced with insults and allegations like this ad, don't get angry or provoked, don't give them ANY attention, especially hate or getting upset. No protection, no provision,no pedestals!

Ladies, this is what you wanted, you're on your own.

xsplizzle · 2022-03-17T11:20:00+00:00

Yea this shit is on normal tv in england all the damn time, disgusting

morfeuzz · 2022-03-17T15:13:40+00:00

Folks report this as sexist

DoubleAgent36 · 2022-03-17T07:58:04+00:00

I don’t see any issue with this, honestly. It’s not so much saying “your inherit male nature is bad” as it is “if you see something say something. Turn your reflection inward and stand up for your own values instead of sacrificing them for the sake of fitting in.”

Basically, urging people to not be a bystander and grow a spine.

Uncle_gruber · 2022-03-17T10:30:30+00:00

I don't actually have a problem with this advert. Gillette advert had a lot of normal, or at best, questionable behaviours that were being demonised. This advert is an example where one of his friends should stop him acting like a prick and, honestly, you should take a look at yourself if you know it's wrong and don't say anything.

These situations do happen. If you don't hang around with people that do this then great, neither do I, but it does happen.

thedonpsx · 2022-03-17T11:51:45+00:00

Tbf people from London are generally obnoxious

TitanicPat · 2022-03-17T16:11:47+00:00

The kind of Men depicted in the ad, are the last kind of people to be affected by this approach.

For the rest of us, it's like being blamed for something we did in a partner's dream.

But after a long track record of selective outrage from the ideology behind the ad, its getting harder to take this stuff seriously.

PicklesAreMyFriends · 2022-03-17T19:06:45+00:00

Real talk, who turns down free crisps?

fakevahi · 2022-03-17T21:12:41+00:00

Of course, same as the gillette ad or any similar ads in the last 10 years, the white guy is the one harassing and the black guy is the "good guy". But that's a whole other topic.
