What I find very interesting about this commercial on youtube is that many males who commented on the video only had negative things to say. Along the lines of "She's spewing feminist bullshit," "she sounds so annoying," ect. ect. My issue is this, any smart, educated, woman who cares about her health and well-being is going to practice safe-sex. Period.
You don't have to be a self-identifying feminist to feel this way, you just have to be intelligent. Its clear and simple. Any guy who feels that this attitude is "annoying," or a "turn off," needs to take some time and think about whether he respects women or not.
I love the message of this commercial, delivered in a unique dialogue. She is not going to settle for less, and she was the one with the condom. Despite the assumptions that some people make, protection is not just a male responsibility, its a woman's too.
The fact that he had to hear that...think about it, and then say "OK, you win!" does not guarantee that he'll get any whoopee. Very refreshing.
