Gillette's "Toxic Masculinity" Ad Campaign (vanity)
Gillette ^ | 15JAN19 | vannrox

Posted on 01/14/2019 5:54:15 PM PST by vannrox

Hey! Have you seen the new advertisement for Gillette? I just cannot believe what I am seeing...

Toxically masculine boys on their way to mansplain things


Some boys going on a bullying spree...


Toxic masculinity is everywhere and has "been going on far too long"


Not-so diverse group of boys learning to be toxic and masculine. One is already manspreading.


A narrator then goes on to suggest that "boys will be boys" is simply not going to fly anymore.


Toxic masculinity in the workplace.

Excusing toxic masculinity while grilling food

The message is clear; If you're a man, you're inherently evil - and you need to do better.

I found all this terribly offensive, and I am just about to stop buying gillette products as a result of this. But then again, that's just me.

Gillette
Toshiba
Dicks
Cheaper than Dirt
Red Lobster
Starbucks
NBC/CBS/ABC/CNN/MSNBC

These are the ones that stick with me, and will continue to do so. I’m sure there are others.

Toxic femininity? No more feminine hygiene products?

This has been posted many times already but yes I agree. It is extremely offensive but that is OK since the people being offended are White Males.

I am guessing that is true as I have not seen the commercial.

Gillette has a long history of attacking conservatives.

Buy some Feather double edged razor blades and a good safety razor. One helluva smooth shave.

I just mentioned on another thread that these are every bit as good as any Gillette product at a fraction of the cost. Been using them for years.

And instead of Gillette shaving cream, use Barbasol.

Or butter!

WHO buys overpriced Gillette products anymore? Easily the most expensive shave available. Screw them and their workforce. Sick and tired of every company hiring SJW Liberals to handle branding and messaging.

Never again. Too much other high priced shaving gear to chose from.

Thanks. Will they fit on Gillette handles? (if you’ve ever tried that - I suppose it’s proprietary and have to buy the whole thing once))

For me, it is shaving cream applied with a brush, safety razor, and double-edged blades.

Would love to vote it down, LOL.

women have been known to use these same phrases against their ex-es, unwanted suitors, and men who turn down their advances (think drunk fat chicks).

Feminazism isn't about equality or shared mutual respect. end it. It is toxic marxism hellbent on overthrowing Western civilization. broken marriages, adultery, no god, no morals, do as thou will is the whole of the law.

Yes, you have to buy the store brand handles and then you likely can’t swap out between Walgreen, Rite-Aid, etc. brands.

Wouldn’t a truly savvy person just ignore commercials and pick products based on desire and research?

This commercial is based on a deliberately absurd gag, which is true for a lot of commercials. There may even be a subliminal ironic message that “’Toxic’ is the way to go” — and PG wouldn’t care, if it sold its widgets that way. This is how Archie Bunker got to be so beloved instead of an antihero. He was a fumble bum, but everybody understood what he meant.

We still get to use Mennen skin-bracer, right?

I can’t get that jingle out of my head.

I can still remember Daddy’s shaving mug and brush. He went modern around 1960 with the Schick injector but kept using the mug and brush.
