Gillette's "Toxic Masculinity" Ad Campaign (vanity)

Hey! Have you seen the new advertisement for Gillette? I just cannot believe what I am seeing...

Toxically masculine boys on their way to mansplain things


Some boys going on a bullying spree...


Toxic masculinity is everywhere and has "been going on far too long"


Not-so diverse group of boys learning to be toxic and masculine. One is already manspreading.


A narrator then goes on to suggest that "boys will be boys" is simply not going to fly anymore.


Toxic masculinity in the workplace.

Excusing toxic masculinity while grilling food

The message is clear; If you're a man, you're inherently evil - and you need to do better.

I found all this terribly offensive, and I am just about to stop buying gillette products as a result of this. But then again, that's just me.

Two years ago I got the skitters of shaving, and grew a full beard. Voila! No more shaving. Every two or three weeks when I get my buzz cut, the barber trims my whole beard back to one half inch with the clippers. Why did I wait so long?! Free at last!

Grrrr. Corporations generally run scared when there is a threat they could be called racist, sexist, whatever-ist.

That 14 pages of paid ads reeks of PC fear, if not open embrace of it.

Years have passed since a magazine was last
purchased. Umm...about the time HRC was
first lady and promoted her homemade cookies.
It seemed every woman's
magazine in the US had her mug on the cover
and biased on her side of
the "Right Wing Conservative" theory.

Fortune will soon go the way of
Holiday and Life, not to mention the numerous
Hollywood star magazines
(Screen Star, Hollywood, etc.)
Liberals certainly know how to screw up anything;
they do so often.

Magazines that have disappeared from the racks are many

Old Spice.

Norelco.

These fags can have their way. J.C. Penny’ got nothing on them. Spit.

And instead of Gillette shaving cream, use Barbasol.

My wife doesn't care for the scent of Barbasol. My brand was Colgate, until it was discontinued after 100 years or so. I guess I was the last guy buying it. I was using Gillette Foamy Barber Shop scent, then regular after they discontinued that! Noxzema used to make a good shaving cream until it was sold off and is now a poorly performing economy brand. On top of that, 90% of the garbage on the shelves now are gels, not a foamy cream.

I thought people were overreacting before I saw the vid - that is really, REALLY bad. 100% boycott worthy.

I had just gone back to Gillette blades again after using an electric for several years - I am so done with them after this.

Just went to Harry's and got ordered one of their razors. You can get started pretty cheap and I heard they're good:

The war on men has gone nuclear.

Kelloggs. They tried to boycott Breitbart in 2016 and have not returned. Even though Boycott failed. And Sargento was one company going after Rush Limbaugh in 2014.

[Gamecock]

I use double edge safety razor blades made in Pakistan. I figure Mooselimbs know how to make really sharp blades.

That and Babu.

Use an old school brush with Proraso shaving cream.

I must be the only dinosaur left who not only uses Barbasol but remembers the ad in Field & Stream (”says Singin’ Sal, the Barbasol gal”) the Noxcema ad with the Swedish model “take it off, take it all off”, etc.

Tried a shave gel because we were flying to a cruise. Yecchh!!

Gillette has really jumped the shark this time.
