More on males and that creepy* Gillette ad

*Creepy: "1. Of or producing a sensation of uneasiness or fear, as of things crawling on one's skin: a creepy feeling; a creepy story.  2. Annoyingly unpleasant; repulsive" . . .

Surprise: Genius behind man-hating Gillette ad is a radical feminist  . . . " '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. " . . .

The UK Daily Mail loved it.

. . .'Boys will be boys . . .' The air is thick with charcoal smoke, the smell of burgers and testosterone as a line of men watch two boys scrap. But later, when the mood of the ad changes, an enlightened male breaks up the fight, saying: 'This is not how we treat each other.' . . .

However...Gillette's ad on toxic masculinity: A social and marketing disaster  . . . "True, one can watch the ad and, from the standpoint of behavior, say the ad promotes good things among men.  But against the backdrop of strident feminism, the mocking and marginalizing of men in media, academia, and government, the subtext is clear: you guys are just rotten; listen to us, and we'll show you what to do." . . .

Who approved this garbage Gillette ad?  . . . "Fourth, fatherless homes are a crisis that most of the left does not want to admit.  They prefer to blame slavery or racism rather the absence of responsible men in boys' lives.
Please spare me the PC lecture and let's get real about the problems with young men in the U.S.   They need fathers or strong male mentors rather than nonsense about "toxic masculinity."

 

What Have the Men Ever Done for Us? . . . "Nor do I see the Us versus Them conflict of the sexes so vividly catalogued in the Guardian or HuffPost. In general, men and women get along pretty well because we need one another. We forgive one another’s failings. If a dude mansplains something around a conference table, or if a woman shuts down a man with “You just don’t get it” when he dares to supply a thought, I don’t see much cause for anger. Whether I see a guy manspreading on a subway, or a woman taking up two seats with her enormous collection of tote bags and handbags, I think of these as individual acts of rudeness, not systematic assertions of gender privilege." . . .

 

Forget the Gillette Ad, This Is What an Attack on Masculinity Looks Like . . . "By striking through manly virtues, Harry’s liberates no one. Instead, a brand designed to cater to men attacks the aspirational ideals of its customer base. Masculine virtues are virtues, and any message to the contrary contributes (in however small a way) to the challenges facing all too many men and boys in modern America.". . . 

Ben Shapiro: "We need more masculinity — genuine masculinity — not less"
. . . "The vast majority of violent criminality comes from males; the vast majority of sexual misconduct comes from males. But we’ve made a mistake in blaming the presence of males for that issue. It’s a massive mistake to blame “toxic masculinity” rather than recognizing that toxic masculinity is often the result of a dearth of genuine masculinity — the kind of masculinity that leads men to stick around and father their children in the first place. The alternative to masculine presence is no masculine presence — and lack of masculine presence leads to toxic masculinity, deprived men acting out of hurt and anger." . . .
