OOPS!

If you are going to try to be Nike in your ad campaigns, you better be ready for the shit that goes with it.

Woke' Gillette's 'pink tax' on women: Razor firm slammed for hypocrisy for charging women more for the same products as men

Gillette's controversial new ad tackling toxic masculinity has gotten mixed reviews, but even fans of the message are baffled to see the company discouraging sexism while continuing to charge more for its female shaving products.

Known as the 'pink tax,' the common form of gender-based price discrimination involves women being charged premium prices for items specifically marketed towards women while men pay less for virtually the same product.

Harry's isn't much better...


Libs at Harry’s Razors try to benefit from Gillette’s PR disaster, now they have a big one of their own

Call it the Razor Wars of 2019.

Only in post-Obama America where effeminate men are celebrated would a razor company feel it’s a smart marketing move to fall back on the line “boys will be boys” to attack masculinity.

With Gillette launching a controversial ad to “emphasize the outsized importance of ‘soft’ skills in today’s modern man” in the #MeToo age, other companies tried to take advantage of the resulting outcry to an effort that justifies the “toxic masculinity” propaganda pushed by feminists.

Some like Dollar Shave Club did it right, while the efforts of Harry’s Razors proved to be not quite as sharp.

Harry’s tweeted out a call for a “new definition of masculinity” in 2017, but suddenly deleted it — likely after getting a feel for which way the wind was blowing.

“@Harrys razors just deleted their tweet saying we need to redefine masculinity after people were trashing them for pushing the leftist agenda too. But I saved it,” tweeted YouTube personality Mark Dice.

lol Januhairy is disgusting. I don't care what you try and do, 95+% of men will pick a shaven lady over a hairy pit/leg lady every day.

Y'all do whatever you want, but don't complain when you can't find a husband or your husband starts banging someone else. When your body hair triggers my gag reflex, shit happens.

Don't want/need a man? Cool with me. Just so long as you're cool with me preferring your hairless friend, we are all on the same page.

I used to be really picky, have high standards in regard to that too, but now I'm just happy when a woman says "ok, I'll think about it..."

LOL ^^^^ I can relate HRK!

"Januhairy"?

I thank God every day that I'm married to a classy, feminine, and traditional lady.

I'm not sure i've ever seen a video on youtube with such like/dislike disparity in favor of the dislikes.

It’s Rewind Time.

All masculine men, stop work, drop your tools, step back, and see how this enlightened generation gets along without you.

Surprise: Genius behind man-hating Gillette ad is a radical feminist
By DC Larson

In recent days, many online essays have rightly ripped apart Gillette's ugly new "We Believe" advertisement. One online critic dubbed it "feel-bad liberalism."

Carpentered by Grey Advertising for Proctor and Gamble's razors company, it does not detail product attributes, encourage brand loyalty, instill warm feelings in buyers, or even show basic respect for consumers. Instead, the grimly lecturing spot declares masculinity itself toxic, a peril to decent society.

"Is this the best a man can get? Is it?" asks the painfully serious narrator, as a wrongdoing slideshow passes by. "We can't hide from it. It's been going on far too long. We can't laugh it off, making the same old excuses."

"I guess the guy at the ad agency missed the lesson about not taking a dump on the people you want to buy your stuff," cracked comedian Steven Crowder.

"The guy at the ad agency" is actually philosophically unpleasant feminist Kim Gehrig. Hiring her to court the male market is like expecting to accrue impressive rainbow flag sale numbers with spiels from Farrakhan.

Jezebel reported an email message Gehrig sent CNBC: "At the end of the day, sparking conversation is what matters. This gets people to pay attention to the topic and encourages them to consider taking action to make a difference."

She'd previously made the bizarre "Viva La Vulva" spot for Swedish feminine hygiene company Libresse. In that surreal ad, objects that included a conch shell, sliced orange, papaya, and coin purse stood in as ersatz female intimate parts. For the ad's nearly three-minute duration, these items were manipulated as unnatural "singers" of Camille Yarbrough's "Take Yo Praise."

Gehrig's new Gillette effort states her bias boldly by intercutting allusions to abusive acts with images of romantic heterosexuality.

A black-and-white cartoon scene that flashes past shows men whistling at a woman. In another scant bit, a guy sees a pretty female pedestrian. He steps after her but is restrained by a companion. "Not cool," the restrainer admonishes.

Expressions of attraction and related pursuits are natural. They lead to humans reproducing – which is how Gehrig got here, though she might be horrified to learn that.

Adweek pronounced Gehrig's group libel the "Ad of the Week." Gehrig's efforts were also recognized by Best Ads on TV.

Therein lies an issue worth note. Fox News host Greg Gutfeld tweeted: "the only ones lauding the Gillette ad work in media/advertising. everyone else sees it for what it is: a smarmy, condescending virtue signal aimed at the hardworking decent men they have been price-gouging for years."

At this writing, Gillette's YouTube posting of "We Believe" has received 40,000 "thumbs down" votes and only 4,300 positive ratings. Even when possible manipulations have been allowed for, that ratio does not bode well for the company.

Gillette executives may have hoped their brand would realize market uplift from public mind association with trendy messaging. That may also once have been the wish of suits at Dodge, the NFL, Target, Lynx, Nike, PepsiCo, and Dick's Sporting Goods. They all suffered as a consequence of catering to P.C. prejudices.

The greatest ultimate harm caused by Gehrig's Gillette advertising maliciousness may be this: irresponsible,"woke" parents bludgeoning their young sons with her message that just being a boy is unhealthy, a wrong for which they should forever hang their heads.

A soldier in Germany, late 80's can get lonely. I learned quickly to embrace the hair and smell, deodorant was not in fashion.

Many nights out on the town, I can still smell the perfume and B.O. from the fine Frauleins

It was around 1993 or 1994 and I was at the local Schwimmbad (Swimming Pool) near the town I was stationed at in Germany. This lovely young German girl in a nice tiny bikini gets up from her towel and saunters over to the edge of the pool. Man she is HOT! HOT. She slowly raises her arms to dive in and...her armpits were 3 TIMES hairier than the girl in that picture. Total bushes!

Me:

Isn’t “the best A MAN can get” sexist? Misygonist? Aren’t they assuming a persons gender?

Why do they charge more for women’s products?

Hypocrisy thy name is Gillette.

Oh agreed, the chatty kathy girls & women gossiping about each other is far worse that what men to do each other.
