I am not offended by this. Only snowflake macho men are. I watched the ad and honestly, it is fine. Why should "boys be boys" which is stupid many times. I am a man and I am not buying Gillette razors or products, not because I'm boycotting it but rather use Bromley and Double Edge razors for blades (maybe get disposable sometimes especially for travel), Barbasol and Williams for shave cream/soap. That's just me. That said, I am fully behind what Gillette is doing, because we need to step in. I don't get why people think we need to stand up to bullying and say we need to pop bullies in the mouths ourselves, and champion bullying. Honestly there are better ways to deal with it. I also think that we need to be against sexual assaults too. I don't get why people are against people coming out and accusing people.
LMAO. So who are the Snowflakes bothered by a dumb commercial?
Completely triggered. Gillette razors will have joiedn Keurig coffee makers and Yeti coolers in the list of stuff that silly man-children are dramatically destroying in self-recorded tantrums. It actually rather surprises me. The ad seems to praise traditional masculine values - be chivalrous, stand up for the weak, be in control of yourself, what you teach the boy is what he'll do as a man - but that's apparently unacceptable to the dudebros.
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.
Look at any vintage ad for Midol, or for douches. At one time, Lysol advertised itself as a douche; usually it illustrated women as undesirable to their husbands because they didn't squirt Lysol into their vaginas. And you don't use Midol to make yourself feel better, you use it to make the man in your life more comfortable to be around you when you're on the rag. Ads in the 70s shamed girls for carrying tampons in their purses unsheathed, instead of in handy little carrying cases - at an extra cost, of course, ordered from the company. Other ads had teen girls asking "Am I still a virgin?" if they used tampons.
mum.org - The Museum of Menstruation. It's fascinating.
the question involved tampons, not douches.

The thread is about razors... Why does it matter what ads targeted at women are shaming women? Why tampons specifically?
