The chief executive of the parent company of Gillette, which recently ran an advertisement depicting traditional views of masculinity as immoral and abusive, refused to back down on Thursday.
“It started a conversation,” Proctor & Gamble chief executive David Taylor said in an interview with CNBC’s Sara Eisen Thursday. “There is an issue with tox masculinity.”
Taylor, who spoke to Eisen at the globalist boondoggle in Davos, described the negative reaction to the video as coming from a “well organized but small number’ of people.
Proctor & Gamble reported earnings this week that beat expectations but the company continues to struggle with sales in its grooming division, which includes Gillette razors.

Taylor did not explain how attacking “toxic masculinity” would help Gillette sell more razors to male consumers.

He’s a poof, Jim...
The Tides Foundation has nothing to do with Tide detergent by P&G.
I bought All regardless.
The Tides Foundation is more closely related to money from the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company from an heir to that company’s money, Jane Bagley Lehman.
Toxic feminization is right. The old saying of “I can do anything you can do better” has morphed into “You can’t do anything I can’t do better.”
I had a few emergency razors from them from a long time ago.
No more.
King Gillette is a spinin-in-his-grave! World class marketer, sell the razor cheap, charge for the blades, NEVER envisioned insulting its users. P&G is now on the line, ‘Toxic Masculinity’ is its product, gee, what ever will the outcome be?
He's probably scared to death of his #metoo dalliances that he's trying to show that's he a progressive.
I emailed them and they never got back to me as promised.
They are marketing to millennials. They literally do not care what we think.
True I quit buying Tide and Bounty almost 10 years ago, there are better, less expensive options. Plus I’ve always disliked Crest, Ivory and Gillette to me they don’t perform.
Colgate-Palmolive offers better performing and better priced options IMO and aren’t virtue signaling their products.
Sure, but it is clear that we are losing the culture war. I prefer to fight to the end
Democrats are evil.
Take a look for yourself. Here is the CEO. From his picture, I don’t detect a lot testosterone. What do you think?
****************************************************************************
Looks like a Soi boi to me.
These PC jerks should look to the REAL toxic masculinity in the world.
But THOSE cultures are protected by the same PC commies.
Irony.
You said it.
I’ve been actively switching. Some are hard but not gonna keep supporting P&G.
If they honestly gave a damn about men mistreating women they'd have shown a scuz bucket like Weinstein at his casting couch and some democrat news dolt walking around naked in the NBC studio while he was getting briefed on his upcoming show guest.
Instead, they presented absurd BS to rationalize the crap that college kids and democrat loudmouths spew at any male of the species who doesn't bow down and kiss the butt of the democrat hero of the moment.
So did JC Penney. So did Dick's.
NIKE and Tesla can get away with their shenanigans because they may piss off a lot of people, but they don't necessarily piss off their core customer base.
Dick's is a sporting good store ostensibly targeted at hunters and sportsmen...now it seems targeted at failure because they pissed off their core customers.
JC Penny was targeted at middle age women, who wanted fashionable clothing at a bargain. Get rid of sales and coupons, turn the stores into "boutiques," issue a catalogue with two mommies, and make Ellen Degenerate your spokesfreak. Voila - you're in danger of bankruptcy and your stock goes from ~$40 a share to barely ~1 a share.
Proctor and Gamble, as the larger entity may not suffer too drastically, but it's highly likely Jillette will suffer - they were already losing market share. They charge a premium for the product that had 100 year reputation, but were losing ground to competitors with similar products at a better price. Calling your core customers a bunch of violent, misogynist, rapists when you need all the customers you can get......probably not a good idea.
I was watching the insanity on youtube the day after that video came out - at one point it was 10:1 dislikes:likes....they couldn't even keep up with deleting the comments, with no comments older than about 25 minutes - they just kept rolling in. It's already one of the most disliked videos on all of youtube.
A well organized but small group of people? Yeah, sure...
