New Gillette advertisement causing controversy
Gillette has taken its slogan 'The best a man can get' to the next level, with a new campaign aimed at making men better.
The advertisement has been met with both high praise as well as backlash from men who feel threatened by the message.
What do you think about this advertisement? Is there a positive message here? Or do you think it's 'man-shaming'?

This ad is excellent, and a long time coming!! I am VERY proud to be a user of Gillette razors!
Face it, men! The vast majority of physical abuse is perpetrated by men who can't control their emotions!
Such ads are needed because there is STILL far too much domestic violence happening, despite public debate.
Resorting to physical violence to win an argument means that you have already lost it! Hitting your wife/partner if you can't win an argument with well-expressed opinion is the ultimate act of betrayal of someone you love. It is bullying, pure and simple.
It is no longer acceptable to impose your desires on others by the use of social power or physical force, real or implied!
All members of Society should strive for are PEACE, JUSTICE, LOVE and RESPECT. Domestic violence is the opposite of those ideals!
If you don't like the ad, simply behave in a way that makes it unnecessary. Don't blame others.
I'm very proud of my father who brought my brothers and me up to NEVER hit out in anger, and we haven't. This ad is a plea for ALL fathers to do the same thing.
