It doesn't. And you know that. Look:
At no point in your description of 'macho' do you include sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, etc. Which are the things the ad is attacking. And you say your idea of macho includes intervening instead of standing by, which the ad actively encourages.
By your definition of macho, the ad is condemning things that you don't consider macho, while encouraging things you do consider to be macho.
So how on Earth do you reach the conclusion that it's attacking men or masculinity as a whole?
I don’t describe those things as macho, because they are not in my mind. In my mind it’s uncouth behavior.
You hit the nail on the head. They are attacking bad behavior and insinuate that men of the past and present embodied that bad behavior. Come on man, you are smarter than this. Don’t swing at every pitch they throw you, thinking they are all fastballs.
