I found this definition of masculinity and rather liked it.
Could it be the Gillette ad is about a company whose products are purchased by mostly men making a case for setting a standard for our current historical time? Could it also be possible our childhood experiences and outlooks on masculinity were set in a different time frame ?
Personally, if I were a Gillette stockholder I would question the ad as it relates to improving market share.
Nevertheless, I've come to realize standards of either masculinity or femininity as set by our culture have changed in my lifetime and are continuing to change. Just watch a Hollywood film from past decades and you will get my drift. Hopefully change will be for the better.
Masculinity (also called manhood or manliness) is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with boys and men. As a social construct, it is distinct from the definition of the male biological sex. Standards of manliness or masculinity vary across different cultures and historical periods.
