Boycott Gillette razors.

[Ghozer 113]

They are so expensive for refills anyway, not bought one for years since I found the 5 for £1 in poundland, I just use those, cheaper than the refills!

Oh dear! Women in India climbing the men's sacred mountain.

 

What next, they'll be wanting the vote!

So when some old fella whose idea of masculinity is domestic violence and Yorkie bars publicly boycotts Gillette, they're helping them make the switch to a different customer base. Kerching!

They won't be ditching much of the customer base though will they? How many men would you guestimate are involved in domestic violence, as a percentage of all men? Just a rough guess?

The vast majority of men abhor it.

Hahaha, you set yourself up as a justice warrior for all types but have you asked them what they feel about things before you speak on their behalf. Didn't think so. 🙄

Interestingly, if you lot bothered to calm yourselves down and watch the advert properly, you'd see that there is roughly a 50/50 split between incidents against women and incidents against other men/boys.  It would appear, therefore that the message is simply: let's be nice to people and let's challenge those who aren't.

 

Whether there is a need for that message is debatable but the responses above do reveal a bit of a masculine victim mentality.

So where's the female equivalent representation? 

 

Where's the ad of female's being violent towards men, being emotionally abusive, being vitriolic towards men and lying to others outside of that, making out that they're the victim in it all? 

 

And before you repeat that line of "masculine victim mentality" No it's not. That was my REALITY some years ago. 

 

If Gillette now come out with a Venus ad that shows that side then I'll applaud them for showing an equal balance across both ads. Until that happens let's not pretend that it's anything other than a poorly veiled attempt at bashing white males. 

 

Most of the 'bad guys' were all white males, except for one black guy.

Perhaps they don't consider that a female version is likely to rustle up as many extra sales as the male one; or maybe there's a female version in the pipeline; who knows?

 

Or, in the minds of most stable blokes, who cares?

 

We all know women can act horrendously towards men, and women, as can men, and it would be a much more pleasant world if they didn't.   I don't need an advert for a shaving product to tell me that but, equally, I don't feel the urge to kick off when one does because I am comfortable with the way I live my life and I don't feel like an attack on tossers is an attack on me just because we happen to share the same 23rd chromosome combination.

This advert may have a specific message but the reason it has caused such a stir is because it has invoked in people, men and women, their true feelings about gender difference in society generally. I believe that life and nature determine that men and women are different biologically, they have different brains and thus socialise and interact, even with each other differently. Deep down nearly everyone accepts this and its frustrating for people to have that square box in the corner of the room trying to tell them otherwise.

 

There is and always has been a proportion of women that are willing and perfectly capable of doing quite advanced male jobs/careers,  but they are a minority, and so ripping up all what society always was in order to artificially facilitate putting all women alongside men in all aspects of the world of work has made an enormous amount of people, both male and female very unhappy.

 

Most women are happy with traditional gender roles, its in their natural biology, so in order to break this you have to apply very heavy pressure on society to get it to act in a non biological way by using intense propaganda through the media to try and reverse gender roles and force an inversion of them.

 

If you stopped all this and allowed nature to take its course, you'd get the odd woman in high flying positions here and there but broadly speaking the traditional gender roles would proliferate with households and family's being much less dysfunctional than they are now.

 

Most women respect men that think in this way...but they don't like them saying it.

Have you asked them?

Have you asked all the white men?

 

The only poll at this point is the reaction on YouTube, and I can assure you, men of all races are patronised and quite a few women are chipping in with similar sentiments too.

There's never a need for an advert to remind people to be nice people. Those who are nice will be regardless, those who won't will ignore the message.

 

It's nothing to do with "masculine victim mentality" and everything to do with politically correct, left wing hypocrisy.

Wow there are some very needy, insecure blokes on this thread! 😱

When did the advert mention the race of the men? I'm guessing that plenty of BME men also feel equally offended and patronised at being reminded not to be wife beaters and rapists, by a razor multinational.

No, but in the hierarchy of 'intersectionality', BME/POC males are less of a devil than white males.

 

So BME/POC males might still cause violence/DomV/murder etc. but because they are oppressed too, they are not seen in such a bad light as white men who commit the same crimes.
