— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) January 15, 2019But far from radical, the Gillette commercial is actually deeply traditional, even conservative, in its depiction of masculinity. Far from a “war on masculinity,” the ad may think too highly of men and their ability to self-reform. “True” masculinity ― or what the evangelical writer John Eldredge has called in his best-selling book Wild at Heart “authentic masculinity” ― is the answer. That’s the basic, if perhaps problematic, message of the Gillette ad. All Gillette’s ad is asking for is a traditional, even conservative future where men will be men.
