Why is this in the political forum? OOOhhh, because crazy.
Focused on the important national political issues I see. Culture and gender wars nonsense still polling well with Trump's base?
What big legislation are you Trump folks working on to combat all this man-hate? Where is the national political agenda surrounding this that you are building, or opposing?
This **** is like ****ing chain letters that have somehow become part of the Republican national political platform. It's madness.
It's so stupid, because Gillette ad never said men weren't any of those things,. They didn't say anything about all men. They said things about how women are treated. And women are still treated like **** in large numbers. There is no denying that.
the only people that are upset about this are the mysogynist pigs that want to rape women, beat women, abuse women, treat them like ****, use them, pay them less, and not respect them in the workplace. Because that's what the ad was about, a message for the men that treat women this way. There is no denying that this is still a problem and still occurs systematically, even in 2019
Man people are such assholes

Beautiful. True. Moving. Thank you, Egard Watch Company.
Watch this.
Yep, yet people, and thus assholes among them, are not all male. Implying otherwise is foolish.
I don’t think the Gillette video implied any such thing. Does the ad in this OP imply that women can’t be heroes or protectors or any of those those things? No. Does it imply that ALL men are heroes and protectors? No.
Nothing wrong with either ad.

Like you said, it's identity politics.
Men are assholes
Whites are racist
Christians are bigots
The obvious implication is that unless you oppose your masculinity or your whiteness or your religious conviction you are "deplorable".

At least there was this post as "something" to take away from my regret at having clicked this thread....:roll: Thanks at least for some bit of sanity.
I agreed with the gilette ad in principle, but thought it was a dumb ad. I can't see how anyone can be offended without makeing a serious effort. I guess osme folks enjoy that. Much like defending against the mighty leftist army of the "war on xmas".:roll:
Addressing either human vice or human virtue as being gender specific issue is what many are objecting to. I agree with you that talking about A does not imply that B is unimportant.
So am I the oddball for liking BOTH videos? People need to stop being offended by every damn thing.
Really? It was the above post that made you think this thread was worth clicking on? The deranged assignment of those who are interested in encouraging companies to celebrate men's accomplishments over saying things like "toxic masculinity" as if it was a real thing to Trumpsters? No acknowledgment of how much of a stretch that is or how he is the only person to bring right and left into it?
The Gillette ad was idiotic and makes me shop around rather than give them my money as it did with the 55k people who have downvoted the video so far. It doesn't make me angry because it just reflects the morons who thought Ocean's Eight or Female Ghostbusters were good idea. Preach, lose money, feel good about yourself. Good for you.
What is sad to me is how the opposition wants to paint everyone who disagrees as some sort of Trump supporter, who is also being painted as frothing right wingers.
I hope for your sake that you learn to better assess people and situations.
Well you've added nothing of interest to the discussion so.....:shrug:

I found it insulting that someone at Gillette thought that I needed to see their message. I'm sure most men feel the same way.
It seems like a funny way to sell razors. Perhaps they forgot what their business is.
I'm going back to double edged safety razors. Merkur Futur safety razors from Germany are 100% machined stainless steel, fully adjustable, and will last you a lifetime, available from Amazon.com. Feather brand blades from Japan are the best, also available from Amazon. You can get enough blades to last more than a year for what a month's worth of Gillette razors cost. If you don't want to deal with a brush and soap then Barbasol shaving cream is really good and cheap.
Not a boycott so much as me just being shocked into looking at the alternatives and finding that I've been over-charged for shaving products all my life.
The ad is not the problem. Its just a symptom of a much bigger problem.Why do so many snowflakes have their asses is a knot over this ad?
