A few years ago, I recalled the "Real men of genius" campaign that used to have me rolling with laughter. I heard that familiar " REEEEAAAALLLL MEN OF GEEEENIUUUUUS!" and was fucking pumped! It was just like I remembered!
I don't remember what exactly was said after that, but it was essentially, "remember when women knew to be quiet and you could beat up the gays on the street? This smart boi never does his laundry cuz he knocked up the hot girl from highschool who used to be fat."
I couldn't turn it off quickly enough and felt like crying realizing how many people I played those for. How many young women from my highschool class had to ride uncomfortably in my car hearing blatant toxic masculinity being pumped out of the speakers of the guy driving her home after school and he was frighteningly entertained by the message. Fuck me, I'm so grateful that my generation is gonna be dead in 50 years or so. We sucked.
