Speaking with regard to expectations of men, when I was younger, I had an older church lady get on to me for not waiting for one of the men that was in our group to open the door going in someplace, but now you get looked down on if you actually let someone open the door for you. Talk about confusing signals! LOL
We had a female client come in the other day who has been married for 34 years and raised two boys. One of her sons told her of a situation at work, where another guy was complaining about something, and her son said, "Don't be such a girl." I guess a female co-worker overheard him, and she went to HR to report him. Our client was wondering if she was so out of touch with feminism, since she didn't see her son's comment as offensive. I told her my boyfriend says that to me whenever I cry during a movie or overreact emotionally, and I think it's funny when he does, so, if she is out of touch, she's not the only one.
I get it. There's a double standard with this ad. Take it for what it's worth to you. It's like Nike with the Colin Kaepernick ad. It will be a hot topic for a while, and then it will fade away. Ads are not worth getting up in arms over.
