[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH here:  I thought it was lame, insulting, and will backfire.  Whatever market research says about who does the shopping, I find it very hard to believe men don’t have or express preferences about shaving items, which are reasonably personal, and I suspect this is going to hurt Gillette more than it helps.  Woke Capital is tiresome and is due a comeuppance. We shall see, the reaction will be interesting.  [/quote]

What about it did you find insulting? Genuinely? To me it seemed very pro man, just pro good man. [/quote]

No one is disputing that part.

It's just that a big cosmetics company with only two women in corporate leadership positions is probably not the one that should be lecturing anyone about "goodness". [/quote]

I personally have struggled to think about to address toxic masculinity without squashing my son's general masculinity.

[b]You know now it became normal for women to work? Trailblazing women doing it and media normalizing it by showing women working. Sure maybe sometimes to make money, but it changed the cultural conversation. Feminism works because it is positive. It is pro women. And it's a movement that changed women and brought them forward.[/b] Men need a similar movement but we shouldn't call it toxic masculinity. It needs to be positive and about how to be a good man. And it will take off probably when media normalizes it. When movies the wolf of wall street aren't glorified.

I'm not saying Gillette is some model company we all need to purchase from now but I like their contribution to this conversation. And despite the general problem with it I like that it's a mostly Male company putting this out. Men need to do this with other men not with women patting them on the back or it won't feel like masculinity. [/quote]

Lots of women despise feminism. [/quote]

Oh yeah this thread needed to be re bumped for this super insightful comment  :roll: [/quote]
