Full Title:

Gillette dresses women in skin tight clothing with corporate logo spread across their asses, then lectures men about “toxic masculinity”

=====================================================================

A new advertisement from Gillette promoting the #MeToo movement has proven once again that corporations will say just about anything if they think it will boost sales. The ad infers that all men are sexist abusers, guilty of harassment and bullying.

Unsurprisingly, a majority of people have taken issue with the ad for a number of reasons. In addition to the fact that this “ad” is a dumpster fire of left-wing, anti-male rhetoric, it is unbelievably hypocritical of Gillette to lecture American men on sexism.

For decades, Gillette has promoted an “alpha male” image for their product — and who could forget the Gillette girls, dressed in skin-tight blue vinyl jumpsuits with the company’s name emblazoned across their butts?

To me Gillette is like Levis or Ford Motor Company. I don’t like the political/public-policy things these companies support....but, I like their products, so I’ll keep buying from them.

I really couldn’t care less what they do with their profits—fairly made from good products.

My Gillette sensor cartridge lasts me at least a month, and sometimes 6 weeks. Shaves much closer than a single edge.

Gillette has chosen to market its male grooming products to those who wear neck beards and man buns.

Good luck with that.

Yes, you’re right. HOWEVER, the quality of Gillette’s products has nothing at all to do with who their marketing people choose to market to. Do you think Gillette’s engineers or factory workers give a rats ass about what their marketing folks are doing?

Again, they’re a lot like Levis or Ford (or Apple or Microsoft) (and probably 3/4 of the Fortune 500): Their public policy choices are terrible, but they still make great products.

I work in the Duracell factory and buy Duracell batteries. But if Duracell came out with a trendy pro-Feminazi propaganda advert I would certainly stop buying Duracell and would ramp up efforts to get another job.

Other products are better quality and price than Gillette. Bic’s high-end razors give a better shave.

Duracell is owned by Warren Buffet, one of the Democrat’s & pro-Feminazi’s biggest donors. So you’re there already, buddy.

Again, 3/4 of major US corporations give millions to the Democrats, or left wing causes. What else is new?

If you cease using products because of the politics of the owners...you’ll end up in the stone age.

“...Duracell is owned by Warren Buffet...”

That is a false analogy to the Gillette advert. Duracell puts money into the hands of conservatives like all of those contractors that pour through its gates with Trump stickers and TEA Party stickers on their trucks. The Duracell brand is not synonymous with snowflakes. Gillette is synonymous with snowflakes/faggotry.

You’re right, we can’t boycott absolutely everything but we certainly ought to send a message to Gillette. It should be on the top of our do not buy list. After their flagrant attack upon us we should respond. Then the corporate weenie world will take note.

I find they are sharper and don’t drag as much.

LOL! Are you kidding? Warren Buffet has done a LOT more for left-wing causes than the executives at Gillette have ever done.

You don’t think Gillette plants have “contractors that pour through its gates with Trump stickers and TEA Party stickers on their trucks?” OF COURSE they do. I bet the great majority of Gillette employees are as insulted by that ad as you and I are.

Yes the corporate world will take note to the reaction to that ad. It already is when Gillette is concerned... As 5 years ago or so, they had no effective competition, now they do. This is why they tried (and won’t try that again!) the “toxic” ad—as an (idiotic) attempt to appeal to a new market.

Protest, complain, by all means. But boycotts have never changed many minds. When you cease being a customer, you cease influencing a company.

But you’re close to my point. Gillette is the hot item right now. To buy a Gillette product is to wear a Che Guevara shirt. Boycotts are effective. Even a weak in percentage boycott of the NFL was noticed in the corporate world.

Another thing about Duracell is that their AA and AAA batteries are made in America at marginal stay-in-business level of profit. But just imagine, unlike the smaller 9-volt market that was recently outsourced, we’re still making some popular batteries right in America.

Ah, the Jillettes. Advertising razors for manginas. Frenchy-owned, right?
