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

[tamajane]

"Women's razors" are crap. I've been using the Sensor Excel for years but the price of cartridges is insane. There is no justification and I refuse to pay those prices and I'm on my last blade. I hate disposables because they are so lightweight and I cut myself. Not sure what I am going to get next or just go full SJW and look like a sasquatch.

The prices are stupid, and sometimes you get a few BAD razors in a pack too. On top of that, they make a stupid insulting ad like this. Some women actually like men and don't like to see this crap.

Seems to me the people most upset about the ad are the very one's who need to learn the lessons the ad presents.

It's not that I haven't been tempted, but there's too much daily effort in keeping the damn thing sharp.

If y'all were capable of following the conversation, you'd see why the discussion of feminine hygiene advertising is pertinent here.

Exactly. And they can't even see the irony.

Newsflash: We strong women who BELONG in the boardroom, would know how to address a male (or female) colleague who attempted to speak for us. And I would be capable of keeping my man and sons in line if that were necessary.

Memo to Gillette: Stick to your business. You can start by addressing the fact that the women's Venus razor sells for 8 bucks more than the men's handle--okay?

Memo to men: We strong women like strong men. Keep grilling. And keep being men.

Ah yes, women love men who can’t control their tempers, their hands, their fists, their pants. Yep, a man who can control himself is such a wuss. I’ll leave those pieces of trash to the women who prefer that.

These "manly bro" types (or the 30+ version thereof) simply think their "manliness" and ticking off all the masculinity checkboxes entitles them to decide the very worth of a person. Then when "unmanly men" (betas, cucks, crybabies, etc) and women call them out on their bad behavior they show even more of the very snowflakiness they so contemptuously attribute to "weak", "thin-skinned", etc. In effect, they say that the very right to even the basics of dignity and respect belong only to those who are unflappable and can assert themselves. That kind of attitude isn't going to lead to any kind of betterment and/or badness purging in the human condition. In fact, that fits in better inside prison walls than outside them.

In simpler terms and something I learned as early in my life as elementary school, if you're going to behave like a lout you should have every expectation you'll be treated as such. Not that difficult a concept to grasp...

I wonder how much this will "shave" their profits. I am sure the Stock Holders would much have a company that alienated its customer base so they can be SJWs and Virtue Signal rather than have earnings, dividends, and higher stock values. I mean after all that's why businesses exist, right to Virtue Signal?
