On the spiritual plane, which I commend her for including, the work of both inciting men into acting abusive as well as using that to demasculinize men - along with the blurring of the uniquely compatible and complimentary distinctions btwn men and women - is from the devil, who seek to pervert what God has ordained.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13. KJV)

He’s EVERYTHING that the ad supposedly encourages men to be.

The ad strongly implies men are not like this and they need to change.

Bad men are the exception.

Simple. No “man” should question another man’s manhood. Unless the clown being questioned is a bona fide ass muncher..

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.

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

I’m not bothered by the Gillette commercial. I’m just never ever going to buy any Gillette projects again because of it.

Of course, they’ll keep advertising and selling it, and I’ll keep not buying it.

I may sue them though for not showing a trigger warning before the actual commercial, because I was deeply offended it by it.

Amen, sister. Amen.

“so many?”, I thought the exec said there were only a few complaints.

Be patient, just wait, the wheels of justice grind slowly.

If "boys will be boys" is somehow toxic, what is the alternative? "Boys will NOT be boys?" "Boys will be iguanas?" "Boys will be bony-armed limpdicks afraid of a butterfly's shadow?"

Cuz ain't NONE of THOSE gonna happen, except in a few lib households. If recognizing that boys behave like ... boys ... is somehow offensive, then things acting like the things they are must be offensive. And since most things act like what they are, there's a whole lotta offense goin' 'round.

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?

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

But this is a good article, thanks.

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 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’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.

What’s always puzzled me about this is, if a QB can throw a football better with a little less air pressure, why not let all teams’ QBs use a ball inflated to grip and throw best for them?

Are the the NFL rules intended to make the QBs less effective and efficient?

If Kristine truly is at a loss for her Dad’s reaction then I would suggest she needs to relearn the things her father attempted to show/teach her throughout life.

Because that commercial did nothing but attempt to shame men and boys.

She was endorsing Bullying by Marketing Means and was too ignorant to even realize it.
