Complete with "Guilty for being Male" messaging. Time to stop using Gillette products.

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.”

Sure they may lose .2% but they'll gain .5% from virtue signaling walruses known as feminists.

Since real feminists don't shave, I don't see how this works out for Gillette.

Immense Hirsute Lesbians are starting a 'save the fur' movement against Gillette!

Gillette is including instruction kits for auto-castration, sutures, and blood control loss with every pack of blades, now.

Male penance and penitence demand it! The Pecker is the Problem!

Been using an Edwin Jagger double edge razor for 10 years now. I've probably spent less than $30 on Derby blades and Tabac soap in that time frame. I also use Bic disposables when I travel.

I'd have to think Gillette made a good reasonable priced product in order for me to boycott in the first place.

Costco is now selling good quality 3-blade cartridges under their house brand. Made in Germany. 3 blades is a sweet spot imo. 4,5 or 6 are just silly.

Make sure to downvote the video. Of course, it looks like google has been removing dislikes.

I would LOVE to have a bug in the marketing and sales departments right the hell now.

Heh, Heh, a panel of hallucinating SJWs were given the Madison Ave. contract. They don't even know their asses from a hole in the ground enough to send out coherent propaganda. This ad will be yanked pretty quick.

"Our brand was built on manly looking men doing manly things and women all rubbing themselves on them. We just destroyed decades of branding in a little over a minute."

Andrew Dice Clay crying on TV, anybody?

Dollar Shave Club is also pro-SJW Gender Bending Bullshit:

He’s right: In the same review, while the data shows that women, albeit gradually, are adjusting their traits to include more stereotypically masculine ones, men have stayed the exact same. “Men have two flat lines over 40 years,” says Mayer.

Way to evolve the performance, guys.

I believe Dollar Shave Club is owned by Unilever, just like Gillette was taken over by P&G a few years ago.

Harry's deleted a tweet from last year, also SJW.

The solution is to Buy from older, "Not Chic since 1980" Companies
Like: Barbasol. Here is their Parent Company's Motto:

In conclusion, Perio expects to receive a healthy profit as long as it adheres to these major objectives. We believe that we are merely temporary stewards and that the resources of the Company belong to God. As such, our main vision is to support charitable organizations and specifically, those focused upon children.

And to think all this shit started with infiltration of atheists and skeptics a few years ago, spread to Video Games, and now... Razors.

Why Does a Woman's Razor Cost $1.08 When a Man's Razor Only Costs 75 Cents?

TheStreet also found Duane Reade, a Manhattan drug-store chain owned by Walgreens Boots Alliance, selling a 13-pack of Gillette Daisy Classic razors for women for $13.99 -- or $1.08 per razor -- while a 10-pack of Bic Comfort Twin razors for men cost just $7.48, or 75 cents per unit:

Are you ok defining masculinity as toxic? Is that a world you want to live in?

You are effectively helping to destroy our youth with these memes, one pathological confused child at a time. Do you care about the psychological wellbeing children? Do you care about the wellbeing of society around us?

No, of course not. I actually agree about the problems with 3rd wave (or 4th wave is it ?) feminism. The ad was probably a mistake on Gillette's part.

But at the same time, I think it's funny how outraged right wingers are. It's just a fucking ad.

Is there such a thing as toxic masculinity ? Probably. But probably less than there is a thing called toxic feminism.

I'm just "busting your balls" lighten up ! Why don't you go grab some women by the pussy or something.

The idea that this is a snowflakish moment is stupid. The comment section isn't loaded with people with their feelings hurt. Most of it is people cracking jokes and poking fun at it.

And it's not that people are up in arms about a single commercial It's the fact that this stuff has infiltrateted every single aspect of our lives that we now have to see it in a razor commercial for men's razors...of all places. At what point does society fight back and simply say stop? This might be that moment.

Although, it seems many of you don't want it to be.

Literally noone is outraged. It's an enormous joke. Go read the comment section, it's a huge party atmosphere.

In all honesty this is the nest way to burn out these regressive. Amazing that anyone can support this pathological anti-masculinity though

So what ? Can't you let me troll them for a minute ?

I don't ever see you giving such insightful analysis to one of Boogers dumb ass pro-TRump meme's or zzyzzxz's.

See Marcus that would be funny if Gillette wasn't so wrong on this issue.
Memes only work for the just side of the argument. No matter how cleaver the picture seems.
