Funny, some parts of the video were filmed in Buenos Aires downtown. I recognize the Banco Nacion and Banco Hipotecario, near Plaza de Mayo.

BTW, mix this crap with the USA Matasanos asociation calling masculinity "a disorder"....

The soy boy bearded hipster guy doesn't need a razor but Gilette is catering to a much more awesome demographic!

Tranny males. That demographic is growing and taking a bigger slice of the population. There's no one who needs a razor more than them. I bet Gilette takes market share!

The message is clear and unequivocal: we don't care how smooth you are, how good-looking you are, or where you do it. Cold approaching is categorically reprehensible.

I fear we'll soon see US cities rolling out blanket bans on all forms of interaction with strangers in public areas. And when you deprive men with testosterone of a fundamental pleasure, like owning a gun, expressing his opinion, or chatting up an attractive female, things can only end one way.

RE: Gillette releases new toxic masculinity commercial: "The Best Men Can Be"
I remember that in the "Dear White People" video from MTV (circa 2016) they were telling men to stop using the word "woke". And now, apparently, this is a leftist term?

We really cannot let these degenerates take control of language like that. One way that a great nation is denigrated is via the manipulation of language: i.e. "modern art" and "modern woman" being used to describe things that are lacking in beauty.

Exactly, I guess they're trying to push online dating. Or turn the tides and have women approach guys.

I'm a Braun Series 3 wet/dry electric shaver guy for life -- at least until something better comes along. This all you'll ever need unless you're a beast. I recently upgraded to the BT version (clipper head and guards) you see here. You can find them on eBay for around $50.

RE: Gillette releases new toxic masculinity commercial: "The Best Men Can Be"
I've been shaving my face with a Merkur razor since 2006, usually with Feather or Dorco blades. I do use Gillette Blue II Plus razors for the body, though - they are the only make and model of disposable I've found that will do the job. Will have to make do with some of the inferior ones, I suppose.

Unfortunately Btaun is owned by P&G. If you use electric make the switch to Remington when it comes time to replace it.

I just bought a Braun Series 7 from Costco. Usually I use a straight razor but I want to see how close a shave the Braun can give me.

'Toxic Masculinity' Advert by Gillette gets 1,000 comments at the finance and politics site ZeroHedge.com.

This is a long and twitter heavy account of the corruption of commerce today.

The urge to Buycott P&G - who owns Gillette - is strong among the commenters.[/b]

We want to hold ourselves to a higher standard, and hope all the men we serve will come along on that journey to find our ‘best’ together."

The elite own these large mega corporations. This is why when word comes from above about a new "important" agenda it's pushed down to all the subsidiaries and used as talking points in all their marketing campaigns.

The lines I highlighted remind me of Tim Cook's recent award speech at the ADL.

Kind of makes your stomach turn: corporations know best.

We won't see this per se, because it violates the constitution and would be overturned by the Supreme Court.

We'll see more of what we're seeing now, which is actually worse. Instead of passing laws and ordinances, major corporations are engaging in promoting specific forms of social shaming through propaganda.

This is something that really took hold in the 1950s during the McCarthy Era. You tell the public something is "bad," and they follow along in lockstep. You don't need a law.

Back then it was the commies. Today it's "toxic masculinity." In between, we've had all sorts of phony bogeymen which the public feared from Satanists (who didn't exist) to AIDS (which was never a threat to non-drug using straight people).

Propaganda is more effective than laws. Laws are defined and people can recognize that and protest against them.

Propaganda is insidious because people don't know they're being indoctrinated. You see this now. A bunch of zombies duly parroting the SJW party line and not really thinking about how or why they believe something totally different than they believed five years ago.

I've been planning to get a straight razor for a while now. The kind that you sharpen before each use with a leather strop. I can't think of many things more toxically masculine than grooming myself the way that my great great grandfather did when he wasn't busy oppressing women from the comfort of his trench.

Disgusting. Don Draper would never have approved that ad.

On the plus side, I've emailed the Youtube advert round half the office and it's done more to red-pill men around here than anything else I can remember. People are talking about trashing their Gillette razors for other brands. Wilkinson Sword? They aren't P&G are they? Rival manufacturers will be looking at their increased profits in amused disbelief! And they haven't had to lift a finger or pay a dime.

The end-times can't be far away now, for them to be so sure of themselves to air this heresy.

A few people control these companies and much of the Fortune 500. You can't escape the spider's web through boycotts.

While you cannot escape the globalist matrix, the companies or local brands should get punished. Managers will lose jobs over this if the turnover tanks. All the other brands are owned by the globalists, but the managers who attempt to be the most woke still are going to get punished first. Even their masters will simply fire them as other globalist families pick up their market share.

A boycott is sweet and delicious - Star Wars is getting clobbered and people at Disney already have lost their jobs, the same with Dice and Battlefield V, the same will be happening at Gilette - no matter whether that Indian minion spouts feminazi drivel.

Remember Pepsi going all woke? It cost them hundreds of millions for sure if not more. Coca Cola did not mind picking up their share and low-tier Pepsi employees certainly got fired.
