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.”

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


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

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.

Why do you want to shave your butt? Planning to walk backwards and pretend to be [insert Patnet Poster Name here]?

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

Bitches are gullible. Besides, they just take it out in trade from the men, anyway.

I refuse to eat meat because it fuels Toxic Masculinity... but I'm still so healthy and strong!

The conversation on this has made me realize something very important about myself. Previously, I noticed a certain pep-in-my-step but couldn't really describe it any other way. After just hearing about this controversy, and some serious introspection, I realized that I have rape-step. The best path forward that I can think of is to just accept it- that I was born this way and it's not my choice. I must oppress simply be being. Now everywhere I go I know that I am just being myself... and that's OK. My rape-vision? Well, that's completely fine by me too. I need to believe in myself, even if it means sacrificing everything.

OMG. Have you seen the "gillette fusion führer edition" image? Please don't take offence. I just found this one particularly funny as a mockery of Gillette; it's certainly showing you-know-who as an example of bad. I don't want to make the thread NSFW, so here's a link.

Funny.

But isn't "right or wrong" and what's "just" determined exclusively by your emotions ? Or the emotions of people on Fox "news."'

It was just a commercial. Get over yourself.

The backlash kind of shows the accumulated resentment against the mainstream constant shaming & blaming of anything vaguely masculine, the blatant disregard of any male suffering, contrasting with the minute by minute coddling of poor "girls", the constant demand of more 'equality' translating into pussy passes and lowering of standards, the #meToo 0-due-process bullying and/or lynching, etc, etc...

It ain't funny anymore.

APPLETON, WI—Expressing disbelief at her romantic partner’s dramatic behavioral shift, local woman Emily Kittleson, 30, told reporters Friday that she had not expected her boyfriend’s attempts to recognize and curtail toxic masculinity would eventually turn him into a “weepy little pansy.” “Christ, I know the dope is trying to be conscious of the effects of his words and actions and to be more open and honest with his emotions, but there’s got to be a limit,” said Kittleson of her boyfriend Shane Magnusen, 31, whose efforts to reject toxic masculinity have begun to irritate her as she claims he has evolved into “a fragile fucking flower about everything” in recent weeks. “Of course I’m happy for social progress and all, but this ineffectual shit is not what I signed up for. Instead of suppressing his emotions about major issues in his life, he cries at sad commercials. Our fights used to be him screaming at me for a few minutes and that was it, not great but not terrible. Then last night we get into an argument that somehow turns into me nodding and making comforting noises while he talks about his strained relationship with his dad until well after midnight. Like, come on, I don’t have time to indulge this self-centered crap.” Kittleson was also compelled to interrupt her statements twice, groaning and rolling her eyes while responding to text messages from Shane regarding their couples’ therapy appointments later that week.


It's a joke, but it's not a joke. Any relationship in which the man turns SJW is doomed. Women are disgusted by weepy men.

From costco labeled 'kirkland'. Same damn colorful bottle which looks much sexier in person. We're in San Diego. Quite smooth with a smokey hint.

Just as we suspected. The horrific Gillette ad was beamed in from the SJW LibbyFuck Immense Hirsute Lesbian Twat-0-shpere! Will these depredations of white manhood never end?

Now, to make up for it, Gillette, how about an ad with two amorous, bush munching, beauteous lesbians going at it, and the freshly shaved Gillette hunk plunging the sacred balm into each of them in turn, converting them to wimpering, cock begging heterosexuality!
102   Tenpoundbass   2019 Jan 19, 9:06am  

I bought a huge $50 multi pack at my local CVS the other day. Then as soon as I paid for it, I said I want to return them.
Then I bought Schick.

Needs complimentary tissue box and a pink hat with some feminist slogan on it like "shaving is a patriarchy construct".

Further up this thread scoops mentions it. No negative shit from barbasol so far as I have heard. I also head in here last night:
