This again, is just the left trying to demonize speech and actions it doesn’t like.

Have you ever heard the absolute filth and horrible things libtards say behind closed door together when they think they are all among ‘friends’?

Please.

Subtle programming here hitting two themes at once.

one goong after male behavior they dont like

two, specifically that white men shouldnt fight back. white men are major targets of reduction by the left. cant have white guys fighting back when it gets real.

I am 70 and have noticed the same thing. I get even with rudeness.

I am not sure what I’ll be shaving with, but I will no longer be buying Gillette.

Overpriced razors made in Commie Taxachussets. How stupid of them. Stick to making razors and not the pc crap. I do like their products however but I wasn’t buying anymore due to prices. This bashing men crap seals the deal. What idiots peeing on their customer base.

I think that was the most sickening scene. A gorgeous girl walking by dressed like that...as IF men weren’t supposed to notice her. Then the “awoke” black dude dressing down his Neanderthal white friend for noticing. They killed two birds with one stone in that vignette.

Not a peep about toxic and dangerous Islamic males especially in Europe who pillage, rape and sometimes kill white females. Yet white, American males are toxic? Leftists are bass ackwards blinded morons of the lowest order.

My MEN are. My sons are Adults, Masculine Males. Hard working family men. 1 uses the dog clippers to buzz his head with a Full beard. The other shaves his head, goatee. Buys cheap $$ razors.

VENUS is the ladies Toxic Razor brand, won’t shave legs worth Crap. Extreme men’s disposables work just fine.

That is the Idea, why do you think we are seeing all these TV shows with LBGT’s in them PROPAGANDA, both races. Can’t find a decent show on 350+ channels, except RFDTV, Pet Drs, Car rebuilding, Nat Geo Wild, Science besides Nascar is all that gets watched here.

“brands, like ours, play a role in influencing culture… we have a responsibility to make sure we are promoting positive, attainable, inclusive and healthy versions of what it means to be a man.”

WTF is that? I don’t need to be “woke” by the razor company. The only values I need from a razor company are cheap and good quality. Keep your overpriced razors, haven’t purchased gilette in decades.

Another Dixie Chicking of a brand.

Great summary, Steve. Thanks. Couldn’t agree more. All of the most vile, rotten, toxic behavior is completely ignored while normal white male behavior is excoriated.

It’s depressing the number of wars we’re in the middle of.

Race wars, gender wars, class wars, religious wars, cultural wars...

The future looks pretty bleak.

Yep, absolutely right. Plus socialism is tightening its evil grip on the under-40 crowd at a quick pace. They will awake some morning when there is complete totalitarian control and (maybe) ask "What have we done? What happened to our freedoms?"

I'm hearing more and more of us saying "Well, I won't be here much longer to see it."

But this kind of over-the-top response to a single advertisement is part of a broader backlash. U.S. culture is asking pointed questions about traditional masculinity and how it hurts both men and women...ah, on the right track, but then you switched yourself into a siding - the "broader backlash" is against the constant preaching to the great unwashed masses which is being done by those in academia, entertainment, politics and now corporate America - who think it is their right, duty, and special capacity to tell those who might be in disagreement why they should believe and feel exactly as their moral superiors tell them to - it's arrogant, condescending, and we don't care what you think......

...98% of the men in the ad are white? And the only men that stand up against the boorish male behavior are black.

That was hard to miss, wasn't it? It's like the last 25 or 30 years of TV where white males were portrayed as utterly clueless, misogynistic, and downright stupid. They've stepped it up in almost all current TV shows because now not only are all men stupid, but women are brilliant and in charge of conceiving and executing all world-saving plans.

No guy is going to stop another guy from just hitting on a gal.

You mean to tell me the black dude raised on two decades of vile woman-hating rap "music" isn't going to tell the white guy to change his behavior? Are you saying that isn't a realistic scene? I'm sure real life goes down just like that. Snort!
