Proctor and Gamble Challenges Men to Shave Their ‘Toxic Masculinity’ in Gillette Ad (examples, work)

Not that I'll but any of Gillette's overpriced products - I'm a safety razors and Barbasol guy - but seriously, if you take offense at that ad, it's time for introspection.

Where was there chivalry?

I just re-watched it.

If you're talking about Procter & Gamble, that's a corporation that is about as far left as Mitch McConnell.

Thanks for agreeing. Mitch McConnell and the corporate culture go along to get along, and that means going along with the anti-white zeitgeist.

The ad campaign is run by leftist non-whites, so that's what the Left has to do with the TV ad.

You missed the appeal to show respect to women? Because that used to be a chivalrous ideal. Standing up for the weak? Same thing.

Some fool posted that there are no ads weren't telling women how to live. That was a dumb thing to post and he's being provided with counterexamples.

I object to this advert that, in my opinion, goes overboard to bash men just as my male friends scoff and belittle adverts that guilt women.

Chivalry doesn't necessarily have to involve women...I'll give you that as the definition specifically notes.

But where was the "show of respect to women"? I'm seriously trying to locate it. Just watched it again. Could you give me the minute/second count where we see it?

Bullying? Now name calling? Tsk tsk. Somebody needs to shave off their toxicity.

Ah, that saves time. In matters of involving decency and ethics, it's generally safe to assume that Piers Morgan is on the wrong side.

I already admonished another poster in favor of the ad for using the term "snowflake".

That's bullying! Lather up and get out the Gillette!
