Again, the ad could be better but it's only a product of the issue. Akin to attacking the messenger (and message) rather than the underlying problem itself.
Should ads be produced that teach women how to prevent dangerous circumstances? Damn good idea. Should laws be enacted with stricter punishments for rape and false rape accusations? Even better idea.
But if we don't understand why these kinds of ads (even these poor ones) are made in the first place, we are missing the bigger issue. If we fight over the video, we ignore the real problem. This is our problem. We immediately wonder why they are attacking all of us men. We wonder why they are accusing us of possibly being rapists just because we look, flirt or whistle. We wonder why they see us as doing wrong just for being men. When what we really should be wondering is why this kind of ad was needed in the first place.
We look at ourselves individually and take umbrage for the accusation (granted every group does this regardless of association...race, sex, ethnicity, religion, etc...). But we fail to look at ourselves as a collective sex. We fail to ask ourselves as men if we are really doing all we can to protect and prevent ourselves (as a group, not individually) from harming women. It's a tough thing to reflect on because we'd rather put that repsonsibility elsewhere.

This type of video/ad was not needed in the first place because it's misguided or tells a flawed message on every level. In other words, no one should take it seriously because it's most likely created by a radicalized feminist that doesn't care about equality and is not trying to constructively change things for the better for everyone. It only hurts feminists as a whole and it frankly makes them fit their stereotypes.

I'm responding to you both since you both made similar points.
As you'll note, I already stated several times that this particular video isn't that great. My statements were regarding the movement and support/awareness videos in general and immediately you both began attacking this lone video. Go back to what I said about looking at ourselves as a collective and why support/awareness ads are needed in the first place.

You were talking about this vid and why vids like it are needed. I was also talking about this vids and vids like it. This vid is not a support ad or an awareness ad. This whole discussion from page 1 to here has been about that misguided vid created by a radicalized femnist that doesn't understand men at all. Do you see the distiction between an awareness vid and this blight upon humanity?
What's actually needed is extremely harsh punishments for sex offenders and decent parenting (parents teaching their kids how to behave and be safe in a dangerous world) in 1st world countries. Men do not need to be re-educated by feminazis. I'm all for equality between the sexes but I don't care for radicalized femnists or their misguided ideas.
