Having said that, their commercial is 100% spot on when it comes to the way I try to raise my son.
You tell him he is inherently bad, and rape and murder is inherently a masculine trait?

The main difference is right here when you said "for those who shave their faces" vs a generic "women."
Scruffy can change that.

For those who shave their faces vs those who shave their legs, since there is a group that doesn’t shave at all in both genders.

But I thought beards were killing razor sales? You can't have this both ways.
They aren’t mutually exclusive concepts.

So, back to the question at hand.

Who is it that they are targeting? Is it women?

So you don't have quantitative data and are just spewing claims of what you hope happens to Gillette after this ad?

They kinda are grouping all men into the rapist column



That’s the fricking point. and then the black dude stops the white guy from going after the chick (the catcalling video in New York disapproved this one, so they tried to bury it)...it’s stupid and not in reality.





This is what they think of us. Any traditional masculinity is bad to them because traditional masculinity exerts independence and self-reliance and that is the enemy of their socialist dogma.

Then teach the kid to fight back. Dad won't always be there to protect him.



This. Schools teach kids not to fight back, which is what prolongs bullying. As soon as a kid fights back, even if they still lose, respect is earned. Once respect is earned, bullying becomes teasing. Once a kid learns to not have an emotional reaction to teasing, but instead respond with humorous teasing, that teasing turns into play. Play turns into friendship.

We are teaching our young boys how to be isolated from their peers rather than teaching them how to make friends. We are NOT teaching them to avoid having an emotional response to words, allowing them to be manipulated by emotional pleas. To make matters worse, we are indoctrinating them to avoid their problems, avoid conflict, and never solve problems directly. We are teaching them that they are victims and that they are completely unresponsible for what happens to them. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see how that can have some serious negative consequences later in life, but APA says masculinity is the problem. That's how you know you're dealing with Communism: they blame the consequences their policies create on the solution.

How many men will see that ad who currently buy Gillette razors will stop doing so now? And how many men who don’t currently buy Gillette razors will drop their current razor preference and start buying their razors because of that ad?


Do you not see how that commercial was signalling to women?

Why limit your questions to only men?

I'd put good money that the later greatly outnumbers the former. As funny as the meme is about SJW chicks being hairy and smelly, it's not true in reality. Beards are widely socially acceptable outside of the NY Yankees. Hairy legs on a female are not.

It could certainly be. I think it makes sense with the commerical being about the metoo shite and respecting women more and also raising sons to do the same.

You are forgetting something. A lot of women still like traditional masculinity. They like tough men. Men that build things and make things and swing axes and fight to protect them. They like men with drive and ambition and confidence and all these traits that the proggies call “toxic masculinity.”

They don’t lie in the tub letting the water hit their pink parts thinking of some pajama wearing, soy drinking little pussy who apologizes for being a man.

Teaching the kid to protect himself vs watch one kid beat the crap out of another are two very different things.


The kid getting the crap beat out of him was probably taught that fighting is an inherently masculine trait and that he should never fight back. His dad prob shaves with a Gillette razor.

You just quoted 4chan in an attempt to make a serious point about something.

Imagine for ten seconds a company had an ad that stated "some women" act appropriately. Speak-to-the-manager-moms and feminists would burn that company's headquarters to the ground.


Well that's exactly what's happening with plenty of guys right now.
