Men and women are far more alike than they are different, and the former are not alone in using their power over the opposite gender. Women use it differently, of course, but power corrupts, regardless of gender.

I see. Yes. My previous two long-term relationships were like that.

I got some good advice from my Irish traveller grandfather growing up, never let a woman mark you, I'd come home with a hiccy, and never let a woman see how much she matters to you even if you love her.

Words to live by I think.

As a narcissist, I have my own theory - cultivate the next one before you leave the last. I always try to have at least two other women in the wings at all times.

I mostly stopped using a razor years ago, use the lowest setting on my beard trimmer now. Used to buy Gillette though, hands down the best razors, especially if you have a thick/coarse beard (I do). My wife uses the Dollar Shave razors for her armpits, legs and vaginal area, they're no Gillette, but they're good; especially for the price. I use those to clean around my neck line every couple days.

Gillette recently aired long commercial which emphasized respect and responsibility rather than their products, while expressing concern over sexual harassment, bullying, toxic masculinity, and the blind eye Americans seem to turn to them because it is so culturally ingrained.

What say you, scholars and misfits of KMC? Has Gillette gone too far and deserving of the outrage and boycotts, or are people completely overreacting over what was intended as a positive message?




Gillette faces backlash and boycott over #MeToo advert



All that trouble for a crappy ad that's as useless as that stupid Pepsi one. Great.

lol @ TYT being featured in it, though.

This is what they taught me as a youth in our Mormon churches.

This is what we were taught in Boy Scouts when Boy Scouts was called Boy Scouts of America.

This is what I was taught in sports during my secondary education years.

The core message I took away is a great man leads his male peers to do and act morally, respectfully, and justly. A couple of the clips in their montage was of men who stopped fights and taught young men what being a man is about.

How is this toxic? This is masculine. This is manly.

You don't have to be a neckbeard to respect women. In fact, shave your neckbeard and just don't say or do the creepy things like the advert pointed out.



Why is it considered unmanly to be a moral leader to your group of male friends? You don't have to be an SJW. Just act and say like they did in the advert. Don't get preachy. Keep the response very short and sweet. Don't dwell on it.


I'm gonna try to give a real response. First let me point out I don't use Gillette products, if I had a Gillette product I used that I really I liked I'd still continue to use it.

Anyways, I think the problems come down to the fact that Gillette entered the culture war with this. You hear the left talk a lot about dog whistles, well the phrase "toxic masculinity" is kind of a dog whistle. The usage of that phrase and also Ana from The Young Turks being involved made this political and it clearly showed what side Gillette is on.

If Gillette wants all men to buy their products they went about this the wrong way. I'm also guessing some people just saw it and thought "I want a shave not a sermon". If Gillette really wanted to wade into this subject a commercial showing the positive aspects of masculinity might have come off better. The involvement of TYT just baffles me though.

It's a good thing we don't have any far right posters here, although I can understand where a more centrist view is "far right" when one sits so very far to the left. wink

They clearly chose a side, for sure. It's the SJW side.

But I don't think you have to be an SJW to demonstrate the same behaviors their men in the vid did.

It's true you don't need to be a SJW to behave that way, which is why it was silly for them to use the term toxic masculinity and involve TYT lol.

I think it's stupid when a business tries to enter the culture war cuz you're always gonna alienate people. Like Michael Jordan said: Republicans buy shoes too.

As I said in the other forum, taking charge of out-of-control situations and protecting those who need protection are pretty ****ing manly things to do. Being respectful, responsible, and stoic are also very masculine traits.

And then there's this shit:

Oh, I'd bet on it. "**** your feelings!" turned into "Stop picking on me!" real quick. Now he wants to boycott Proctor & Gamble products. I thought that was just an SJW thing?
