    Watch Company Launches Response To Gillette ‘Toxic Masculinity’

    Thank You Egard I will buy 2 of your watchs and send them to my two son in laws


    On Tuesday, Egard Watch Company released an advertisement on YouTube in response to Gillette’s controversial ad regarding alleged "toxic masculinity."


    The video features footage of men in various situations — from fighting fires to hugging their children — while the company’s founder, Ilan Srulovicz, narrates. The footage and narration are accompanied by sobering statistics relating to men.


    "What is a man?" Srulovicz asks as a fireman carries a child from a burning building. "Is a man brave?" The on-screen text reads: "Men account for 93% of workplace fatalities." The number comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).


    "Is a man a hero? Is a man a protector? Is a man vulnerable? Is a man disposable? Is a man broken? Is a man trying?"


    As each of the above questions are asked, the following statistics are shown on the screen:
    Men comprise over 97% of war fatalities. (U.S. Department of Defense
    79% of all homicide victims are male. (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime)

    Nearly half of fathers without any visitation rights still financially support their children. (U.S. Census Bureau)
    Men account for 80% of all suicide victims. (World Health Organization)

    75% of single homeless people are men. (National Coalition for the Homeless)

    "We see the good in men," Srulovicz concludes.

    This appears to be the sort of social outreach the younger generations want from corporations.

    Hopefully Boards of Directors get their companies under control if they see the bottom line being harmed.

    The only ones saying they do are you and Gillette.

    Buy yourself a watch if it helps.

    Gillette and Egard are both playing people. It's what Mad Men (and women) do.
