Why are so many people bothered by the Gillette advert?

Tight shot of that Gillette commercial on a screen. Through the screen suddenly burst through a group of terrified teenage boys wearing MAGA hats, pursued by mouth frothing-network reporters, celebrities, Democratic candidates, and fake-Hebrew nationalists screaming anti-gay, anti-Jew, anti-Christian slogans. At a vegan BBQ, a line of several dozen network newspeople watch the crowd pursue the panicked boys and just stand and say “Journalists will be journalists” and they all laugh. As the boys and their families and friends are beaten bloody, the tag line rolls up…

“TOXIC JOURNALTIVITY. We don’t CARE about your kids.”

Because it’s stupid and bigioted as it advances a distinctly un-manly model?

boys will be boys. To ask them to stop grabbing random women from behind is like asking them to grow up.

Has your account been hacked or are you drunk? This isn't normal behavior. Normal men know this. Which makes me wonder....

Real women don’t want beta males.

Some women want to de program males from being who they really are, but in reality, women want a man who is a man, not a soyboy.

I haven’t even seen the ad and yet it still makes me feel like half a fag just reading about it.

You really don’t need explanation on the “why’s”.

But this is a good article, thanks.

I use too much sarcasm without the /s tag.

Let me mansplain something to you: boys will be boys. To ask them to stop grabbing random women from behind is like asking them to grow up. Without a moral system centered on God and the Bible, you can’t grow spiritually. So without it they need to be constantly reminded what grown-ups are not supposed to do.

Glad you agree. You must have liked the article.

She says she understands it’s turn off and then rationalizes it.

How much of the article did you actually read?

One of the actors in that commercial looks like Obama’s Pajama Boy. Only thing missing is the plaid flannel shirt or pajama top, whatever it was.

They are after our sexuality. Along with everything else about our culture.

I’m right with you there. Guess we must be outliers...or something.

I learned to never cuss around girls. Nowadays it’s common to see females who can out cuss a sailor.../apologies to sailors.

“Boys will be boys” has always been said with affection in my family.

I saw a video on Israel's conflicts which (as i recall) said that when Reagan was awoken and told of Israel bombing the reactor in Iraq, he said "They did what?" When the report was repeated, he smiled and said, "Well, boys will be boys!"

Yes I think I was keeping in the spirit of the story minus the sarcasm. But sometimes they go too far and demand that men be weak and effeminate so as not to be “offensive”. So Gillette is added to my “don’t buy” list.

I don’t even get to the content of this sort of nonsense. There is simply no reason why sellers of products should be preaching about social issues or politics to their customers, or anyone else for that matter.

Zero interest in and zero respect for company execs who get on their moral high horse and start preaching to their customers.

I read that Steve Spurrier had a rule. Hit a girl and you are off the team. A lot of coaches let them beat, rape etc. and stay on the team

Obviously Urban Meyer didn't have that rule.

I’ve used Gillette for 55 years. Good product...and a habit. My dad used Gillette.

Last week I ordered a Schick Hydro 5 razor and blades from Amazon (I know...Bezos...but it’s fast and convenient).

Bottom line, a better, smoother shave than I’ve ever had. Everyone is different, but I’m more than pleased and will never go back to Gillette.

They are after our sexuality. Along with everything else about our culture.

Indeed, for as expressed, the devil, seeks to pervert what God has ordained. And the attempt to demasculinize males is part of a larger revolution, in which what God has placed asunder (men sexually with men) are joined together, or biological men or women are surgically altered to change gender, or the latter is even defined as being fluid, and not biologically determined.

Contrary to

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. (Genesis 2:18-25. KJV)
