I’m waiting for an ad that tells women not to nag.
So what’s a little nagging…
When the little lady is a goddess!
Ha! Truer words were never repeated so many times 🙂
Truer words were never spoken. 😉
I think we could be back on fair and level ground soon if P & G would just run some Venus ads telling all women to stop being b*tches and c*nts, particularly to stop cruelly abusing their own children to get back at their exes.
Let’s see how much all women enjoy being negatively painted with a wide brush and falsely accused of evil by a leftarded company….. purely for profit.
CO :
You are exaggerating.
They used the word : “Toxic”
They never said men were “dogs” and excuse me, “prickly!” Why are you turning on women when clearly you are horrified at P&G
Thanks a lot, we are defending you men!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! MEN!
You consider my points as “turning on women”? Good.
So, now you have an inkling of how guys were made to feel by P & G’s horrible stereotyping of the male gender. That WAS my point.
Ow. Rather you were rude and crude, correction.
It may offend anyone.
Additionally to comment at 1:55 pm from PN
The 6:24 & 7:03 am comments were made before yours at 7:53 am. I rest my case.
Wow, don’t know what your other old posts have to do with me or with your apparent fixation on my original post.
Nancy, wasn’t it you who came at me about 6 mos or so ago for supplying a link to a vulgar parody tweeted by Donald Trump Jr.? EVEN THOUGH I put a VERY CLEAR WARNING so as NOT to offend anyone…. even making it CLEARER than Trump Jr did before sending it out to the ENTIRE world….. YET, YOU WATCHED IT ANYWAYS!!!!!… and then complained to me that you were offended!!! I’m pretty sure that was you, this tiresome interaction with you today is surely reminiscent of it. But, my apologies if I am in error and it was a different whiner here.
I mean c’mon Nancy, calling out my original post as “rude and crude”, even though I was thoughtful enough not to spell out the bad words I was putting in P & G’s mouth, is silly. It is certainly disingenuous as you have let plenty of posts more f*****g vulgar than mine on this site slide by daily with no criticism. Plenty!!!
You really seem to be living at the intersection of Snowflake St. and Triggered Ave., Nancy. I might consider moving at least a few blocks, if I were you. And, after your over-the-top reaction to my simple opinion on the topic, we are supposed to believe YOU wouldn’t be triggered by an arrogant marketing campaign aimed at women and girls saying they need to resist their inherent feminine toxicity? Ha.
The ‘toxic left’ have been trying to destroy our young men for decades now and, certainly at this point in dealing with you, I couldn’t give a shit if my anger and the way I express myself about the topic upsets you.
Years ago, I attended a retreat and one of my fellow attendees was an SJW before the term was coined. Among the items I took with me was a clipboard I got when I was interviewed for a position at Proctor & Gamble’s pulp mill near Grande Prairie. (Since then, the plant was sold to Weyerhauser.)
One evening, I couldn’t find the clipboard and I asked if anyone had seen it, mentioning that it had a P & G insignia on it. The SJW heard the company name and then hissed at me: “Proctor and Gamble? The same company that makes all those sexy ads?” I proceeded to explain that my association with P & G was the pulp mill interview, but offence had been taken and offence was retained.
As for the SJW, she became a “progressive” member of the clergy and, the last I heard, she was working with natives in the Vancouver region. It wouldn’t surprise me if she was among those protesting pipelines there.
point number one and the only point, masculinity is not toxic.
I agree masculinity is not toxic.
(Didn’t we go through this topic recently?)
Virtue signalling, that’s why Justin is a feminist. We should all be like Justin, when it is time to work, we roll up our sleeves and pretend. Just like Justin.
This one really maddens me. For years I have bought their product, regardless of cost, because I enjoy a good shave. And this is how they repay that loyalty.
On the other hand, I’m sure I can find another overpriced product to waste $$$ on.
‘Edge’ carried by Costco is an alternative, and I believe you can order ‘Harry’s’ online.
YES to EDGE. Have used it for many years recently the grey top one with collodial (sp?) oatmeal. An old friend with rhinoceros hide thanks me frequently for the recommendation.
Was just looking at Henry’s. Think I’ll give ’em a spin. Home delivery with e-mail alerts for order changes or cancellations.
“Was just looking at Henry’s. Think I’ll give ’em a spin. Home delivery with e-mail alerts for order changes or cancellations.”
I have been using Harry’s for about four years now. I swear by them. Excellent product and customer service.
S O L D.
Thanks JJM.
Um, Harry’s of course, not Henry’s.
Any man not offended should hand in the nut sack he’s not using then step in front of truck.
How about marketing toxicity? I’m sick of the virtue signalling. I now want to buy products that make me bad, like Sambal Olek.
To hell with them…I’m using my portable power planer from now on. Its a bit tricky around the nostrils but hey I do believe women prefer that ‘chiselled’ look .
If men are so lousy then someone tell society to Stop using us for the difficult stuff.
Toxic seems to be the new favourite descriptive for all manner of relationships that are not going exactly as one or other of the parties involved wants. In many cases it’s simply one of them has a problem and is using it to blame the other.
I’m tired hearing it, it has no real depth, it calls for a real description of the problem.
It’s tough being a man these days. Often wonder how the MeToo groupies view their father’s, brother’s, uncles and all their male relatives? Women want equality and respect, they must qualify and earn both as well.
“Men are used to being treated badly on TV shows and in ads, because women control most discretionary spending.”
Exactly. For “discretionary,” read “wasteful.” Healthy, masculine men create wealth. Women and sissies squander it. Women’s wastefulness and indolence is the root of all human evils—including whatever genuine damage has been done to the environment.
The technological marvels that could have been wrought with the resources wasted on women’s frivolities stagger the imagination.
If women ran the world, we’d still be living in caves.
Once the world is rid of women, we’ll soon be living on other planets.
Ass Canadians, does yer MALE wife beet you every day before breakfast???
My two daughters have good heads on their shoulders. The world would suffer a loss without them.
Is Gillette rebranding itself? Are they actually going for the “woke woman” demographic? A bit like JC Penny’s gay ad campaign six years ago, except this time they’re going to do it right.
They were running some Facebook ads a while back that were clearly targeting the flaming homosexual body grooming market, down the male model having an effeminate lisp and a valley girl vocal affectation.
One explanation I’ve seen is that men tend to stick with brands that work as long as the product doesn’t physically change, and so the only target market for razors that isn’t saturated is gay men and women. Hence advertising is going to be aimed at them.
I don’t think that explains this ad campaign, though, as some Actual Journalism revealed that the director has a history of using commercials as woke propaganda and was selected as part of some virtue-signalling program for women and non-white artistic directors (only).
I sincerely hope Gillette takes a bath on this decision and realizes that there is a cost to this kind of social posturing.
A bath in steaming liquid shit.
“A bit like JC Penny’s gay ad campaign six years ago, except this time they’re going to do it right.”
As calamitous as JC Penney’s campaign was, it differed in one important way from this Gillette nonsense: they were actually attempting to market to a particular demographic, not piss it off.
I tooled around the Proctor and Gamble web site, and discovered that the pc culture there runs more deeply than the recent Gillette ad. Here is their web page on “gender equality”: https://us.pg.com/gender-equality/
I infrequently buy Gillette products – that now becomes never. I still buy French’s ketchup after Heinz shut down it’s Canadian plant.
Ditto here.
scarp, do you also have 100,000 100 watt light bulbs in your basement?:-)))
lol !!!
a local Home Hardware was clearing out the incandescent bulbs so I grabbed about 100 of them.
why not?
things incandescents can do curly swirly mercury type cant:
dimmers (OR shell out BIIIIGGGG bucks)
work at -50, C or F, take yer pick
will work, in a dire emergency, with car batteries strung together in series to get proper voltage or
even ANY voltage to get *some* light.
tolerate magnificently the jittery voltage from a cheap gas power generator.
reach full illumination instantaneously
no admonition to ‘dispose properly’ and in reality do NOT spread mercury all over the landfill.
when placed in areas subject to ice and snow build up, will MELT said in order to continue providing illumination WITHOUT having to fetch the fuckin ladder at 4 oclock in the fuckin morning.
all above examples based on REAL WORLD experience, not the namby pamby earth mother set.
feel free all, to add other capabilities.
I will continue to use my fathers 1958 nickel plated Gillette flair tip safety razor, but I will be sure to only buy Personna blades!!!
This from the comments…
**As the saying goes, men socialize by insulting each other, but they don’t really mean it. Women socialize by complimenting each other — but they don’t really mean it**
Old Arab proverb:
“Three things make a house intolerable, rain leaking through the roof, bugs, and a nagging wife.”
another good one from the comments:
Or: this shi* is OK until the mouse runs across the living room floor. Then it’s “DO SOMETHING. IT’S A MOUSE”
No more Gillette for me either,there are lots of other products that are just as good and cheaper too!
I just sent them an email to express my (51 yr old, female) view on the ad. Was actually given a reference number and assurance I’d hear back in 3 days. I hope it’s an actual response.

Christie Blatchford agrees:
