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.

Consumers will forget the ad, but the name "Gillette" will remain and they probably won't suffer any long-term financial consequences.

Maybe they should have looked at what happened to JC Penney's after they pooped on their main consumer base with 'two mommy' ads.

Now, if Schick or someone else came out with a celebration of traditional masculinity in an ad campaign, they'd clean up some market share.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

When 770k dislikes hit your ad, you had better be a bit concerned.  Gillette and P&G jumped the shark, F$%# them and all P&G products.  We'll find alternatives in this household to this SJW "signalling".  Our singular purchases may not be that much of an impact, but my and my household's consciences will be perfectly clear/clean.  Just like with Heinz from back in the day...a pox on all their houses.  Spit.

Btw, wouldn't be a bit surprised if Utube is manipulating the actual "dislike" statistics in favor of this signalling as posted by one at the actual video who is claiming there are actually +2.6 million actual dislikes...wouldn't surprise me one bit...

Dick's and Target thought the same thing too. How'd that turn out?

Now, there’s a winning strategy for your success: scold your customer base.

(Unless the advertising genuses plan on making up the loss of male customers by selling more lady Gillette’s)

Long term the Gillette name may be OK, but short term I am not buying the $25./10 pack "Mach 3" refills I needed, (also didn't buy my usual "Tide" det. today, bought "All" instead)...not rewarding P&G for stupid behavior.

Am hearing good things about "Dorco" razors (they make the "$1 Shave Club" brand I think)...am buying some from Amazon ($18.00 for 10 carts & handle).

Didn't Gillette buy Dollar Shave Club?

I'll stick with my Norelco. Well over a decade old and it still works.

Well, I have used Bic Soleil razors for decades.  I better not find out that Gillette owns that brand!   9999hair out0000

The insanity of the left never fails to amaze me.... even after decades of observing it.   Odd, that.

Around the time the pajama boy for Obamacare came out, I showed a picture to him to  about a dozen female colleagues and asked if that was their ideal man. My question was sincere and a curiosity to see how women, regular everyday women and not programmed leftists, view men.

All said no. Not that were were  being mean but most said he's probably is a nice guy and would make a good friend but they admitted they preferred a more "manly" man
