Gillette Conveniently Overlooked the Real Toxic Masculinity
By Brian C. Joondeph

Most everyone has seen, or at least heard about, Gillette’s new ad targeting the ill-defined term “toxic masculinity.”  As with all of these new terms and causes, the best place to try to make sense of these new tenets of social justice is the Urban Dictionary.

Here is their definition.

    A social science term that describes narrow repressive type of ideas about the male gender role, that defines masculinity as exaggerated masculine traits like being violent, unemotional, sexually aggressive, and so forth. Also suggests that men who act too emotional or maybe aren’t violent enough or don’t do all of the things that “real men” do, can get their “man card” taken away.

If they are trying to convince me that boobies are not fun bags full of fun, then we may have a problem.

A sensational thing about this is the abject 'weaponizing' of advertisements. It used to be, 'My soap is the best soap ever! Buy my soap!'

Now we have ads actually trying to shape the minds and thoughts of America with Goebbels like, Leftist 'thought propaganda'.

Where does it end? Can we see so called 'Advertisements' promoting hating Jews, or Christians, or anything they want. They want control. P&G Gillette will lose from this and they know it. They are willing to 'take the hit' for the sake of the agenda. But where does it all end? It is all about 'control'. And they will do anything to get it.

It really is a psychological obsession.
It really is.

If I had 1/10 the money that Schumer and Pelosi have....I would be long gone.
You guys would never see me again.

But with them it is not about that. It is some kind of psychotic obsession with control.
I would never want that kind of control. I would never want their life.

The Father of Modern Advertising is Edward Bernays.

Before WWII he sold his work as "Propaganda".

After WWII when it was discovered the Josef Goebbels owned all of Bernay's books and had made extensive use of them he changed the description to Public Relations.

And Bernays learned his stage magician misdirection from his Uncle Sigmund Freud.

Of his many books, Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) and Propaganda (1928) gained special attention as early efforts to define and theorize the field of public relations. Citing works of writers such as Gustave Le Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Walter Lippmann, and his own double uncle Sigmund Freud, he described the masses as irrational and subject to herd instinct—and outlined how skilled practitioners could use crowd psychology and psychoanalysis to control them in desirable ways.

Freud

In 1920, Bernays organized the publication of Freud's Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis in the US, sending royalty money back to his uncle in Vienna. Freud turned down further offers at promotion, such as a possible lecture tour and an invitation to write 3,000-word newspaper columns, for $1,000 each, on topics such as "The Wife's Mental Place in the Home" and "What a Child Thinks About."[38]

"When a person would first meet Bernays," says Scott Cutlip, "it would not be long until Uncle Sigmund would be brought into the conversation. His relationship with Freud was always in the forefront of his thinking and his counseling." According to Irwin Ross, another writer, "Bernays liked to think of himself as a kind of psychoanalyst to troubled corporations." In addition to publicizing Freud's ideas, Bernays used his association with Freud to establish his own reputation as a thinker and theorist.

Wouldn't you rather fight than switch?   Or is that reserved for the folks on the now locked thread about the Injun activist at the DC rally.

Thanks @Bigun

As long as we still got Democrats, . . . .

Thanks @Bigun

Isn't it amazing that we have tons of highly educated people in this country who know all about Joseph Goebbels and nothing at all about Edward Bernays or John Dewey?

NAZI is a belief system. Not a race, ethnicity or national origin.

All it takes is for a tiny, tiny minority of TV newscasters/opinion molders to fill each broadcast with unfounded, negative suppositions and aspersions to put scum like Antifa Brownshirts out in the streets.

Funny how Both sides openly despise the German version of Socialism in the 30s and 40s while simultaneously making excuses for other brands of the Same thing.


I'm with you on taking back control of our money/taxes etc. but we also need to abolish Teacher Tenure.



These people didn't get that stupid on their own.

They paid a Lot of money to brainwash themselves in it.

[Bigun]

And you're preaching to the choir on that as well!

Sorry...
