NAPERVILLE, IL—One man has taken the message of Gillette’s new “toxic masculinity” campaign to heart. Devin Camp saw the commercial and it caused him to perform an introspective look at his own motivations of behavior regarding manliness. One area of life he felt especially convicted was the task of snow removal.
“I’ve always just assumed that in our family, I would be the one to clear the driveway when we get snow,” Camp said. “But after seeing the video, I decided to start breaking down the stereotypes passed down from my father and his father before him. So, this weekend, when twelve inches of snow fell, I swallowed my pride, handed my wife the snow shovel, and told her I was going to let her do it.”
Camp’s wife, who is three months pregnant, was surprised by the gesture but honored that her husband would be so forward-thinking as to allow her the privilege of completing a job traditionally reserved for men. “It took me an hour and a half, and I think I strained an oblique muscle, but the pride and joy I felt being married to such a noble and generous man, helped me to push through the pain.”
Mr. Camp is expected to break down similar barriers regarding lawn mowing, household maintenance, and car repair.

The BEE.....
I wonder how long that will last. But worth a try, I guess.
It takes a brave man to release his toxicity.
I confess I do it regularly.
this has snow job written all over it...
Oh, Devin. We’re there for you. Sob.
This is a family site.
"Really Doc, all I remember is handing her a shovel then everything went black"
Men are from WalMart, Women are from Central Market.
Here in Israel, we got a nice blizzard and it was gone 24 hours later. Everyone was home bound anyway because of the Corona thing.
That’s for sixteen-year-olds. Real men have to wait for the wife to be in the mood.
Reminds me of something Walter Williams would have said.
That’s a good start but he should be careful not to assume that that means she’s not also able to continue to clean the house or do the dishes or do his laundry or beer him.
There is no toxic Toxic Masculinity - only toxic Women’s Movement Dykes and rebellious women trying to be men.
Didn’t Mr. Williams state that he once purchased a pair of crampons for his wife so she wouldn’t slip while shoveling the driveway? What a compassionate soul.
I heard, “but, snookums. You keep saying you have to exercise more and lose weight,” and then a loud clang.
And he bought a vacume cleaner for his wife for Christmas. He was quite a talk show host. I think he recently passed away.
“He was quite a talk show host. I think he recently passed away.”
These things happen in threes. Who’s next?
The current WH occupant? Hes overdue. Lol
