It paints men as demons that need to be restrained and reformed. Not exactly a prudent strategy given that your entire customer base is men.

The commercial throws out stereotypes such as "boys will be boys" and labels innocuous behavior like approaching a woman in public as immoral. Seriously, watch the video - about midway through, a guy sees an attractive woman walking down the sidewalk and decides to approach her. His friend holds him back saying "Not cool, not cool".

Telling your girlfriend to smile for a photo is apparently problematic as well.

As is clarifying statements made by your female colleague during a meeting.

The like/dislike ratio is hilarious.

Yeah! And women should be in burkas and without rights and gays should be thrown off rooftops and anyone who dissent should be gassed and government should control production and distribution of all products and resources, amirite Progressives!?

I did, and it's apparent that so did the OP and you did not. The OP is fully accurate in his portrayal. Sit your beta arse down and let men have a discussion here.

I’m not watching that propaganda.

I use an old school safety razor and soap. Screw Gillette

Once again I cannot boycott their product since I've never bought it. Every morning I shave first with a Norelco shaver and then foam up to shave with a Bic.
Yes, I have to shave twice. Zach has an incredibly high level of beard growing testosterone. It is a curse but I manage.

Seems like Gillette is betting hard on actual men being almost completely replaced by sissy soyboys in the next generation or two.

Never buying their over priced shite again regardless.

Young boys these days have no shot at being a true man in the future. Single motherhood is encouraged and their teachers are mostly female...there are few positive male role models.

Toxic masculinity is something invented by bitter women who've been brainwashed by "Big Gubment Daddy" to think men are just terrible unless they act like a complete wimp.

As an older woman, I want a Man's man!! I think Toxic Masculinity is not the issue...it's Masculinity Guilt...men being shamed for wanting to be a man. It pisses me off.

They thought they could put Ana "YEAH IM frickING BETTER THAN YOU" Kasparian in the commercial and we'd take their message seriously? Shes literally one of the worst possible human beings from the shitnhead media you could pick. I genuinely think she is an unpleasant and miserable woman.


frick you Gillette. frick you bigly.

If speaking kindly to plants helps them grow, imagine what speaking to humans could do!
