Gillette Video Tells Men With ‘Toxic Masculinity’ to ‘Say the Right Thing,' 'Act the Right Way’
CNS News ^ | January 14, 2019 | 12:37 PM EST | Craig Bannister

A short film by Gillette, a manufacturer of men’s shaving products, tells men to shun “toxic masculinity” and “the same old excuses” for male behavior.

The film, “We believe: The Best Men Can Be,” posted on the company’s Facebook page, begins by referencing Gillette’s slogan, “The best a man can get,” while invoking the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment:

“Bullying. The ‘Me, Too’ movement against sexual harassment. Toxic masculinity – is the best a man can get? Is it?

“We can’t hide from it. It’s been going on far too long. We can’t laugh it off. Making the same old excuses: ‘Boys will be boys.’”

The video displays text of three, presumably male,” comments:

“Everybody hates you,” “You’re such a loser” and “Sissy.”

Enough is enough, Gillette declares, calling men to speak and act “The right way”:

But, something finally changed. And there will be no going back.”

….

“To say the right thing; to act the right way.

“Some already are. In ways big and small. But, some is not enough. Because the boys watching today will be the men of tomorrow.”

Gillette wants to abolish manhood.

The Left’s war upon men continues unabated.

“Gillette, the best a eunuch can get.” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Another bizarre corporate PC virtue-signaling marketing action that effectively shoots itself in the foot.

What’s wrong with these people?

This is one of the reasons I buy BIC disposable razors. Also the fact that they cost1/50th as much as a Gillette blade.

I buy all my shaving supplies from Dollar Tree.

I can shave for a year for under $10, including shaving cream.

And Gillette doesn’t get a penny of it.

I would guess that 80% of TV ads push some sort of liberal agenda. Often overwhelming any attempt to sell the product.

Well for one thing they are based in a foreign country—Massachusetts.

That explains why Bon Jovi was sitting next to Robert Kraft in Gillette Stadium yesterday yucking it up with the crowd. Barf.

Guess I’ll switch to dollar shave club. Shame. I just bought a 15 blade pack of Gillette blades from Amazon.
