The irony is they're advertising to a demographic that doesn't have enough testosterone to shave.

I'm glad this was posted on RPF because the forum can now be introduced to a concept that is going to be very prominent in the coming years; Woke Capital. Major corporations are among the biggest pushers of progressive social attitudes. Everyone from movie studios to game developers to car companies to now $#@!ing shaving firms push SJW leftist propaganda. There's a Woke Capital twitter page and the guy who runs it claims that there is exactly one multinational corporation who hasn't started pushing these narratives.
The question of corporate power both politically and culturally is going to be the most important question of the early 21st Century and boilerplate libertarianism has no remotely interesting or helpful answers to what's actually going on.
BTW for those interested

What? Their ad wasn't about plastic disposable razors that destroy the environment and choke sea turtles?

Sharing opinions allows us all to look at topics from other perspectives we have not considered. The ideas that help us grow are often the ideas that challenge existing beliefs. Further examination of challenging ideas will either show us a better idea, or show us how things dont work. It is our differences that can unite us and make us strong. On ideas, it is the Idea that we all need to be Cookie Cutter Voters with the same mindset that causes conflict.

Didn't make me want to buy a razor. I'm horrible at growing facial hair anyway. Occasionally I have to buzz off some facial hair but nothing crazy.

A bit? The Image of Good Men is being attacked from EVERY SIDE that the Elitist have control over.
Dig deeper. Why do they want to attack Men? Because Men will be the ones that fight and die in the wars against the elite. The elite are not scared of women or children or immigrants or those whose minds they control. They fear MEN. And MEN will not be able to fight against the elite if they are continuously stabbed in the back by those they fight to protect.

Is it? Of course, I'm in favor of more competition and lower barriers to entry, but I'm not convinced that's a solution to Woke Capital. Gilette has plenty of competition. More than ever due to companies like Dollar Shave Club (which is an excellent company for the record, and sponsors anti-SJW content on YouTube). Game companies have a metric $#@!ton of competition and that doesn't stop them from being absolutely infested with progressivism, perhaps worse than any other industry. Competition doesn't seem to create conservative or even just non-progressive cultural companies.

If they have REAL competition then they can go as woke and broke as they like, the problem is that most of the "competition" is owned or controlled by the same woke capital, we do NOT have a free market in capital and we are much too close to needing a redistributive revolution than I like because of it, when the oligarchs have stolen everything we will have no other choice.
Besides the taxes and regulations that limit competition the increasing impoverishment of the middle-class and the poor reduces their ability to make market choices based on cultural/political factors and forces them to buy whatever they can afford no matter how bad the company is.

This is stupid. They advertise by showing the worst stereotypes of their target customers. It's as insane as feminine hygiene ads lecturing women about being bitchy when PMSing. Or ads for African hair weaves lecturing black people about looting. I mean think of any group's worst stereotype and imagine an ad agency lecturing Jews, Muslims, Evangelicals...
Screw it. I shaved my beard a few days ago. I was going to go clean shaven for a while, but I am growing it back as of now!

"Director of the spot is Kim Gehrig, who was selected via P&G's partnership with Free the Bid, a program that launched in 2016 that aims to get more female directors on ads. P&G began getting involed with the effort last year.
"
So they got a female director who's claim to fame is making a bunch of female empowerment advertisements, in order to make an advertisement for male razors? No surprise this is how it turned out.

this is feminazi propaganda. A handful of powerful celebrities finally get caught and suddenly all men have to be reeducated on what it means to be a decent person? total horse$#@!. Oh and the imagery of men watching TV, like TV causes men to disrespect women.... total horse$#@!. 43% of boys are raised by single mothers, 80% of teachers are female. Toxic masculinity isn't the problem. Lack of masculinity is.
I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

Forgive me please if this was already addressed last in the thread...
What does "objectifying women" mean today?
What does "bullying" mean?
In these days where new words and meanings for "old" words are invented and reinvented faster than you can blink (let alone deny allegations), you may wanna think twice about agreeing with their standards of behavior.

I haven't the energy to dig deeper than what I already saw, but word has it (for what that's worth) that the banking elite have pulled the trigger, and losses are not a blip on these companies radars... it's just not a concern.
4 or 5 corps own 90 something percent of what we commonly buy, use, watch, and whatever, so if and when one subsidiary goes broke, the others take the losses, and so on, until the world is fully saturated with and now accepts their words as gospel.
We say Free Market... they say, yeah... about that...
Eh but who knows... maybe it's just bad marketing.
Wait, what?
You said it was in the ad.
Pound Me Too is about as "anti-libertarian" as you can get, as one of its prime tenets is that all accusers are to be believed, at all times, always, that there is no presumption of innocence when it comes to charges of harassment, abuse or rape when lodged by a woman against a man.
Now, you can be angry about that or not...it's up to you.
I find it to be a pretty dangerous concept in today's police state AmeriKa.
Your mileage may vary.

There is even more "Diversity" to be found:
Reached for comment by the Wall Street Journal, Gillette brand director for North America Pankaj Bhalla said "This is an important conversation happening, and as a company that encourages men to be their best, we feel compelled to both address it and take action of our own," adding "We are taking a realistic look at what’s happening today, and aiming to inspire change by acknowledging that the old saying ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is not an excuse. 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."
Yeah, no.

This is a war on white men and by demonizing them to white women it is also a war on all whites, it is white genocide.
