Gillette addresses 'toxic masculinity' in new ad campaign

Yeah, I think unfortunately things have tilted far enough in the favor of the SJW's that this is a losing battle for people that think 'normally'

Yep, that's why I stopped my ongoing argument about perceived sexism online. Said it before, but I will not die on that particular hill...as I'm arguing with a black woman from South Africa who works with marginalized victims I lose automatically no matter what due to the current environment.

That's okay, I'm patient. Things will level and the very people who are complaining the loudest right now will realize they are doing exactly what they're fighting against.

Normality = oppression.

Even in quotes and understanding the intent, I could see Lance getting crucified for using that word.

We have to adjust so much and be careful to such a degree when discussing the problem, that it dilutes the conversation to the point... where no points can be made

There is some market analysis saying that the real goal was to ingratiate the brand to female customers because they are losing male market share to lower cost options. They sell female products at a higher margin.

If true, they are actually mocking women, which makes me laugh.

I use an old Gillette Trac 2 razor and can confirm this. Years ago I started buying a knockoff brand where I get 15 blades for about 8 bucks. Something like a 300% savings.

Not that it will matter, but I sent this to their Twitter account

I wanna see if you get a response to this.

The opening line in post 22 made me laugh and I won't type it here out of fear

I'd lean heavily towards a theory like that. These companies have no soul, especially the marketing & distribution department. I think they studied this from a dollars and cents perspective and this is how it played out.

It's called the "pink tax" - the exact same items labeled for females sold at higher prices than the "male" product.

I honestly doubt I will hear back from them.

Somebody had to respond to your post. I don't care if it was Gillette. No SJW's coming to skin you alive?

3 people interacted with the tweet? What does that mean? Responding? Reposting? Both? Neither?

I'm not on twitter and never have been so...
