This dumb Gillette ad seems to be the most important topic this week... Really?

Whenever a major corporate giant launches a stupid political/moralistic ad campaign, invariably you find that their product line is in trouble and they're desperate for public exposure even if it generates controversy.

That's exactly what's happening here. Men have already been walking away from Gillette shaving products in droves -- to Dollar Shave, Harry's Razors, etc. See this for what it is: a desperate play for attention by a brand in trouble.

Gillette is the official razor of the NFL. Need I say more?

The New England Patriots play in Gillette Stadium.

Football is full of typical masculine male types.

Craft, Brady and everyone on the team needs to be questioned about their “boys will be boys” violent sport.

[rollo tomasi]

Hmm...



Social Vengeance Warriors and their White Knight enablers strike again.

[wastoute]

Dollar Shave Club is praising God for answered prayer.

[yldstrk]

I can’t stand facial hair on men, especially those gross Taliban beards....what a turn off

[melsec]

This ad annoyed me to the core. It is self righteous claptrap. I come from a long line of men who treated women very well. It was taught to me in no uncertain terms both at school and at home as well as the consequences of not doing so. To say “some men are now getting it” is a shocking put down from a company that makes products for men. They won’t ever get another cent of my money

[Yosemite2000]

Remember Victor Kiam and his "front end of a Patriot missile" joke.

As the author says, "Go buy a Schick..."

Which is produced by a company that is largely owned by the same investment firms that own Gillette. Nobody gets hurt when you switch your brand loyalty from one brand to another. The same number of razor blades are still being sold and the same people are still profiting off of their sale.

Maybe a few people in Gillette's marketing department get fired, but so what? Those fine people have already sufficiently demonstrated their fealty to the agenda that places will quickly be made for them elsewhere in the system. They will continue their fine work at another desk in another cubicle and the show will go on.

Stuff like these ads happens when those in charge of marketing are influenced by so called trends created and reported by the socialist media. At any rate there will be those who believe as long as they get the name right it’s good promotion will be soon learning that’s not necessarily so.

Schick

where men are treated as men.

“First off, allow me to congratulate you people on what I consider to be an epic example of a disastrous business decision.

Let me guess, there are a bunch of testosterone challenged individuals in upper management who thought it would be a great idea to politically alienate a large portion of their customer base?

How awesome is that?

Because, you know, making a business decision to put out a social justice warrior message decrying masculinity when the product you produce and sell to has been historically purchased by men strikes me as being self defeating right out the door.

But what do I know, I am one of those toxic males you seem to think that young boys and young men should avoid turning out to be.

Being such, I laugh and spit in your general direction for being so stupid.

Mark my words you pansy motherfuckers, there is going to come a day in the not too distant future when you are going to desperately wish there were some people like me around to save your ass from this cultural armageddon you are working so hard for.”

Think about this a moment. “Toxic” “Masculinity”. This is an invented term by liberals for liberals. It’s a created idea. It’s unicorn and big foot crap. There is no such thing as toxic masculinity.

Liberals are selling snake oil that sexism is an example of toxic masculinity. But they can’t even define sexism anymore. Everything in the progressive/liberal/social lexicon is specifically vague and platitudinous. They mean whatever they want it to mean and can constantly change.

They create insults to stir emotion. Then they influence with fear. Then they point to their opposition and claim “fear mongering”. They actually invent terms (Safe Space, Toxic Masculinity, micro aggressions, passive bias/racism/sexism/etc., institutional racism/sexism/etc., unconscious sexism/racism, etc.)

Their attack is on the American culture of individualism and freedom. That’s it. All the tools of victimization, division, hatred, fear, etc. are all in an effort to destabilize this country, from the roots up.

[Durbin]

If a women’s razor company put out an ad about “Toxic Femininity”, they’d be out of business in a week for being sexist.

[Fiji Hill]

I was going to patronize The Art of Shaving, a shop that specializes in shaving supplies such as fancy razors, but then I found out that it is also owned by Procter and Gamble.

[Mase]

For later...

[Captain Compassion]

Harry’s is all over the net selling their alternative to Gillette. Try them. Better, cheaper and they don’t insult you.

[Texas resident]

Harry’s and Dollar shave club are having their Christmas a bit late.

[Amish with an attitude]

Have been boycotting Gillette for years.
