A blow against toxic masculinity as man allows his wife to shovel driveway

Yes! This is how it is at my house. Although I’m told it will soon end …

One man has taken the message of Gillette’s new “toxic masculinity” campaign to heart.

Tom Faranda 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,” Faranda 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.”

Mr. Faranda Camp is expected to break down similar barriers regarding lawn mowing, household maintenance, and car repair.
