P&G Challenges Men to Shave Their ‘Toxic Masculinity’ in Gillette Ad
Spot pegged to #MeToo asks ‘Is this the best a man can get?’
Gillette is embracing the #MeToo movement in a new digital ad campaign aimed at men, the latest message from an advertiser attempting to change societal norms.
The ad, dubbed “We Believe,” opens with audio of news about the current #MeToo movement, bullying and “toxic masculinity.” A narrator then goes on to dispute the notion that “boys will be boys,” asking, “Is this the best a man can get? Is it? We can’t hide from it. It has been going on far too long. We can’t laugh it off, making the same old excuses.”

Try Harry’s. Good stuff.
Try Harry’s.
Why would Gillette want me to shave my junk?
Hi.
Are they talking about pubic hair? Down where the boys are?
Can’t be. For it is written, you will not drink wine, or strong drink, nor will your pubic hair be cut.

Exactly. I’m not buying Gillette either. Way to dump people with brains, and focus on only selling to sheeplike customers.
I wear my toxic masculinity proudly.
I am glad I have a beard and won’t be contributing to heir bottom line.
I think it’s time to start re-growing big, thick beards.
It's the echo chamber again. This sort of stuff sounds great if everybody you run it by is bi-coastal, gay, and liberal. The turd-in-a-punchbowl plunking sound you hear when it hits Joe Normal's screen doesn't register until it's too late.
what kind of garbage krap is Gillette trying to do ?
“Here Are the 2019 Dogs of the Dow”

“Procter & Gamble is a perennial defensive stock, but it’s been going through some revenue-related pain. The consumer goods colossus has struggled to keep organic sales growing in recent years, as increasing competition and rising raw materials costs combined to put pressure on profits.
Yet 2019 looks more promising.”
(That last sentence was written before the ad came out, heh.)
“We can’t laugh it off....”
Yes, we can. And will.
That was me for a lot of years (Decades). My wife says it made me look old. I told her 'Hell, I'm 70! Shaving's not going to make me look young!'
She's not buying it so I occasionally shave most of my face.
My EXACT reaction. I will investigate.
Might as well surrender,
the women always win
