Lloyd90 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Gillette becoming political and getting involved in the #metoo campaign, criticising toxic masculinity, has really paid off. After the campaign many were offended, leading to them boycotting the brand. Just recently they were down valued by 8 BILLION. Minus 8 BILLION! Got to be the most expensive advertising campaign in history that! Even madder, some nutcases are coming out saying how it was totally worth it ... I wonder if the heads of the company feel it was totally worth it? 🤷♂️😣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hey buster.. If one person didnt get offended, or one woman less got harrassed , it was worth every penny of that $8 billion , someone said , who probably didnt work for Gillette, or if they did , they dont now 🤡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Lady shaving products are in the ascendency, maybe not so dumb. I bought some disposable razors in USA ten for 89c brilliant quality and they will last me a year. Gillette mens razors are so expensive now its off the scale. I dumped mine. Maybe, the future is in shaving ladies bits? Edited August 5, 2019 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 So Gillette is no longer the best a man can get. Adverts were always manly men shaving and women stroking their face or children hugging their dad without stubble scratch. Shot themselves through both feet.

Manly MEN ! Women fawning over them in a subservient fashion, MISOGYNY ! Oppressive gender stereotypes ! Have at them Gillette ! This toxic masculinity must end !

Westward Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I seem to remember, back when sex was safe and motor racing was dangerous, a few young ladies of my acquaintance who quite liked "manly" men. It was lecherous men they loathed. Who'd choose to be a married, heterosexual, white male parent amidst all the bonkers values of today's culture of inclusive PC diversity. p.s. Wearing a beard doesn't mean you're "manly." 😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long before they can make babies with both sexes so as they get older they can decide what they want to be. First world problems are so serious. Don't want no hurt feelings.

Its tough , but the manly man that I am, powers me through the PC barbs that try to detract me from my path of toxic masculine righteousnous 😄 P.S.

I'd offer to let you have my MCP tie but I'm keeping it as I reckon it'll be worth a fortune when the pendulum swings back in favour of us cavemen types.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world just gets on with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
