Dove rolled out a new advertisement for their baby skincare line Baby Dove featuring moms from all walks of life caring for their babiesand of course included a man who identifies as a mom.
The advertisement starts out with a woman saying, Everybody has ideas about what it means to be a good mom and most people feel they have a license to tell you what they think it means to be a good mom.
Then the screen flashes to a cute little saying, preparing the audience for the new mom Moms are redefining what it means to be a good mom'
The advertisement shows young moms caring for their babies, saying their grandmas and great grandmas give care taking advice but in defiance, they are their own woman who has to stand her ground. Hmmmm ok
Enter in the transgender mom:
We are both his biological parents. You get people who are like what do you mean youre the mom? Im like yep! Were both gonna be the moms!

Got Dove soap in the house and the wife has some Dove Shampoo. It’s going in the garbage.
Facebook suspended an account by someone who disliked the dove ad- so beware- big brother is watching you and you’d better toe the line or face the consequences- apparently
Emotional association. "Buy this product and you'll feel better about yourself as a righteous person standing tall against bigotry." It's the sort of thing they resort to when "Buy this because it's a good product" isn't sufficient and sometimes isn't even true.
What it actually means is "We can manipulate you into buying this product because you're a gullible fool," but they get in trouble if they make that too obvious. FReepers of a certain age may recall the entire thing being beautifully satirized in the old Joe Isuzu ad campaigns. Here was a guy who was lying, everybody knew he was lying, they even printed "He's lying" on the bottom of the screen, and it was a successful campaign because everybody knew that the other commercials were lying just as hard.
The flip side to that is blowback, as in this case. But a lot of advertisers live in the same sort of rarified cultural air that Big Media do (well, they are Big Media to be accurate) and march on blissfully unaware that the cause they're flogging is not as popular as they've been led to believe. A good agency will focus group these things with sample wide enough to warn the customer that this is likely to happen, a cheap one (or one internal to the vendor because that's cheaper still) won't. Somebody kind ought to have taken the Dove management aside and informed them that boys in girls' dressing rooms isn't really something to try to hang the quarterly sales report on. (CoughcoughcoughTARGETcoughcough...)
Another brand destroyed.

Thanks. I’ll have to see if I can find it locally.
The same company that did the ad where guys are supposed to view land whales as “sexy”.
Cant these idiots just make soap?
I don’t use Dove but no more Dawn dish soap or Knorr products for me.
Here’s the Youtube link to the ad.

Even without the transgender “mom,” it’s really a stupid ad. If that’s the best that comes out of Madison Avenue these days, well, they’re not going to be selling a lot of Dove products. It sort of reminds me of Saturday Night Live: stupid, weird, lame, retarded, gay, very low energy.
He looks like a man with long hair. He talks like a man with long hair. he’s built like a man with long hair. Maybe Dove is tired of staying in business? Celebrate mental illness.
There’s nothing wrong with transgenderism if you support self-mutilation and self-sterilization.
This is something the Leftist elites love, eliminating competition and getting a good laugh at the same time.
Don’t just stop buying their products, let them know why as well. Let them know we’re tired of having this disgusting propaganda thrown in our faces.
He’s not a mom and will never be one. No one should EVER cater to the delusions of those that are mentally ill.
My most recent magazines are running ikea ads that have two male homosexuals in them. I will never understand why businesses love catering to a lot less than 1% of the population.
Since his wife went through the pregnancy and birth, does he say he did too? How would someone be able to deal with their husband acting in that way? Get him some help, for the sake of your marriage and child.
Store brand mayo here tastes just fine and is a dollar cheaper than Hellmann’s.
Make your own mayo for less than half the cost of Hellmann’s:
1 egg yolk
1 T vinegar
1 t lemon juice
1/2 t salt
1 squirt of mustard
wee bit of sugar
1 C veg oil
SLOWLY dribble the oil into the other ingredients. Whisk, dribble, whisk, dribble, whisk until it turns into mayo. Makes about a cup. Store in fridge.
You would think they would at least try to find a more attractive Mentally Ill Transgender for that Ad.
Even the Ads out there featuring Gays and Lesbos attempt to use attractive People, just like most “NORMAL” Ads do.
Can anyone say Carls Jr. / Hardees? LOL
I’ll have to give other brands a try. I don’t think I have the patience to make my own, but I’ll keep your recipe...just in case. :-)
OMG, how much did they, aka customers, pay for that commercial? Total garbage.
I wonder if this transgender Mom is breastfeeding.
The male/female breasts are exactly identical and many cases are on record of males breastfeeding children.
If the male has some breast growth due to estrogen usage then it’s quite easily done and the milk production can be high. (8oz daily or more)
The breasts are a vestigial body part that all males have, females have all male vestigial parts as well...yup, even a vestigial prostate gland...once in a while a female falls victim to prostate cancer (they NEVER describe it as such but say Bladder Cancer..otherwise far too traumatic)
Breastfeeding is a hormonal dance mostly of Prolactin and Oxytocin. Males and females can instantly release Oxytocin by stimulating the nipples. This causes what is known as the letdown response and if milk is available it can start leaking from the breasts...in some simply hearing a baby cry releases Oxytocin and the letdown begins.
Women who adopt can begin milk production in a few weeks simply by stimulating the nipples, either with the infant or a breast-pump.
Males, especially those with some breast growth can do the same.
Strange medical facts, likely more than you wanted to know.
