TheRedArchive needs help
With 700,000+ posts and 16,000,000+ comments archived, and new Red Pill content being added every week, keeping TheRedArchive alive and discoverable to everyone is starting to become very costly. As a 20-year-old student who just moved out and is living independently for the first time, keeping TheRedArchive alive is beginning to cost me much more than I thought.

Therefore, if you appreciate the website, have gained a lot of knowledge and insight from it, and want to show your appreciation, you can do so by donating any amount that you want via the options below. The money will be used on the expensive monthly host bill and any future maintenance of the website.
Thank you, and I wish you all a successful 2021 and a good luck with achieving your goals and dreams!

Here’s a link to the video https://youtu.be/koPmuEyP3a0

I’ve had enough of these companies using advertisement that doesn’t even relate to their product to try and make themselves seem like the good guys. They’ve attempted to white knight and just absolutely fucked it by presuming all men are: over masculine, sexist, rapists and bullies.

Imagine an advert for woman razors of women bitching about each other, crying, acting like a bimbo and while wearing sexualised clothing. And then having the narrator say “is this the best a woman can get? We need better.” There would be absolute outrage.

Does anyone else think that we’re getting to this weird point in society where men are being subject to more sexism?

This shit has been happening for years and won’t stop anytime soon. There’s an article on the BBC right now which states categorically that complimenting a woman on the smell of her perfume is sexual harassment. I shit you not.

That Gillette add features fat beta dads making it seem like boys play fighting is bad - “toxic masculinity”. It also has a scene where a buff chad goes to chat up sexy Stacy, and is stopped by Tyrone who makes it clear that approaching women is “not cool”.

We are being taught by the media that men should be chubby, stupid, incompetent, feminine plebs. Don’t approach women, that’s sexual harassment. Don’t play fight, that’s toxic. Don’t be a man, that’s bad.

Is what it is. Just be the best chad you can be and enjoy the rewards of being an actual man in a world where men are rapidly disappearing.

this is how i see it too. if other men want to be feminine retards, or some other brand of wildly unattractive (fat, lazy, timid, whatever), i fully support that behavior. less competition. it really doesnt bother me. feminism is just a shit test on a massive scale

You're missing the big picture by thinking about pussy.

The only thing that keeps any society strong and free to any extent throughout history is Alpha Males. Any society which even figuratively, if not literally "exterminates" it's Alpha Males will eventually be devoured by another society which had enough sense not to do that.

It's a good point you make.

I don't have kids or any close family, and I'm getting older, so I sort of don't care what kind of shithole people make this country into after I'm gone. But I fully understand why many need to play the long game.

They are counting on the following: "online buzz, whether positive or negative, rarely makes a long-term difference for a marketer since memory fades quickly." Solution: Men, keep in mind what they've done and shop accordingly. I know I will. How about you?

Pass the thought on, more than just here, but whenever, wherever, however and as often as you can. Your only choices are to either get rolled over by his sort of thing or fight back by whatever legal means necessary, whenever, wherever, however and as often as you can.

The video is beyond retarded. Apparently Gillette hired one too many SJWs with liberal arts degrees in their advertising department.

But look at the downvotes and the comments on the video. It’s not like everyone’s jumping on the Gillette bandwagon here.

Sorry to be political, but it applies here.... To all these SJW types in marketing/media: do you really want trump re-elected? Bc it’s bullshit like this weak ass video that gets trump re-elected. This is the shit people were tired of last election.

Within 10 minutes, they got 6k likes and 0 dislikes. Looks to me like they're buying likes to improve the like/dislike bar. Would be amazing if there was some hacker who could track it back and proof it :)

[–]benmarvin5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy

Funny thing, the dislikes and negative comments count as "engagement" and only drives more traffic to the video through suggested videos. So more people end up seeing it.

[–]desistrategist2 points3 points  (7 children) | Copy

I can totally agree with this. An Ex-Ad exec here (ex-WPP) and Grey Group (ex-employer) has a total female team dedicated to all P&G brands. Have worked with a lot of dumb bimbos on these accounts that ultimately I had to find a better place than work on advising them on 'male' consumer insights. Not worth the effort IMHO.

[–]ScratchinCommander 1 points [recovered]  (6 children) | Copy

Isn't the ad targeted to women tho? I wonder who physically buys them at the store more often, women or men. Nonetheless it's stupid from a men perspective

[–]desistrategist2 points3 points  (5 children) | Copy

Used to work with the brand. Primary customer is male. This wasn't a unisex umbrella brand ad (accommodating both m/f) , this recent ad was 100% for male target audience (both for communication and buying audience perspective). They got it wrong this time.

P&G apparently has been convinced to educate men on "shared responsibility". Step 1 was with their #ShareTheLoad ads with Ariel (washing detergent) where the ads challenged women to NOT to laundry for their male counterparts, make men responsible for the apathy of females doing the laundry and in the last step of advertising change the gender dynamic of male doing the laundry (beta version complete). The whole process was to make men guilty of their doings.

​

Here is one video from the Indian market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwW0X9f0mME

Here is Sheryl lamenting 'guys should do their own fucking laundry' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3472171/Ariel-India-advert-encourgaing-men-Share-Load-goes-viral.html

[–]Paralegallyblonde-1 points0 points  (4 children) | Copy

He means who PHYSICALLY buys them, like he wonders who actually goes out and purchases the razors at the store. My guess would be a lot of women do that kind of shopping for their bfs or husbands—it’s easy to be like, “hey I’m going to the store need anything?” and they say yeah grab me some shaving cream or razors or whatever. Gillette’s primary customer or target market is probably male, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re ultimately purchased in stores by more men than women.

[–]desistrategist1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy

Not true. male shaving products (razors, gels, creams, electric razors) are bought by males themselves (95/100 instances). Been through enough focus groups, primary and secondary data, particularly APAC and African markets.

[–]Paralegallyblonde0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

95/100? Sounds fake but okay. When I worked at Walgreen’s as a teen it seems like more than five mothers would buy that stuff for their sons/husbands (presumably) in a single shift, and I rarely completed 100 transactions.

[–]desistrategist0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

Personal hygiene as a category for men can be hard to understand. It might seem as a low involvement product but the decision making is very individualistic and it's not a group decision. That 95/100 is explained by 95 time buying in store vs 5 times buying online (new products which aren't available at counter). You may research for secondary data and find conclusions.

[–]Zero_Gravvity4 points5 points  (11 children) | Copy

Meh, not really accurate. This shit is annoying but that’s about it. It doesn’t affect my life at all really. Trump won because he was anti-establishment which actually affects people.

[–]ADInfinitum2639 points10 points  (9 children) | Copy

Trump won for many reasons,sjw media is one of them

[–]chomponthebit3 points4 points  (8 children) | Copy

Trump won because the DNC fucked Sanders in the ass. Clinton had skeletons for Trump to attack. But Sanders was Trump-proof

[–]BPasFuck1 point2 points  (6 children) | Copy

LOL, yes and no.

Bernie did get fucked in the ass.

But if you think he would've won, that Trump wouldn't have been able to "attack" him, you haven't been paying attention.

Bernie is weak. Has been his whole life. And he has skeletons out the ass-- you're just ignorant of them, because you like him.

Trump would've destroyed him, same as he destroyed that weak-ass Bush in the primaries.

But, it would've never happened-- Bernie took his ass-fucking, because he didn't want Hillary and the deep-state to bring his skeletons to light. If they could get a russia investigation on Trump, with the thinnest of pretexts-- imagine what they could've done to Bernie and Bernie's wife, based on her alleged malfeasance in higher education?

[–]Zero_Gravvity2 points3 points  (5 children) | Copy

How is he weak? He fought against shit like segregated housing when it was probably way more politically advantageous to look the other way. Same thing for voting against NAFTA, the Patriot Act, and the Iraq War. I’m not saying he’s a perfect man, but we don’t have many politicians who are more principled than him tbh. He almost certainly would’ve beaten Trump, who was and still is drenched in scandal.

[–]BPasFuck0 points1 point  (4 children) | Copy

Let's throw everything out. And just look at his choice at the DNC.

He could:

1) Tell Hillary to go fuck herself.

2) Quit the race, and throw all his support behind her.

Of these two choices, which of these is the more principled choice? Which of these two is the choice requiring the most courage?

[–]Zero_Gravvity0 points1 point  (3 children) | Copy

I agree, it was a weak decision to back the DNC after what they did to him, and I personally disagreed with it. But can you not understand why he did it?

I’m assuming you’re conservative, so look at this through the lens of your own party and whichever candidate you supported. The results of the 2016 election would affect legislation for decades to come. The presidency was up for grabs as well as Congress AND a Supreme Court seat. That election was way more important than Bernie alone and he recognized that. Supporting Clinton and unifying the party was the smart play, not the principled one. And although he let many of his supporters down (for nothing in the end), that decision doesn’t discredit his entire career.

And I’m sure if he was worried about his dirty laundry coming to light, he wouldn’t have ran in the first place.

[–]BPasFuck1 point2 points  (2 children) | Copy

The big difference between our interpretations of events, I think, is that I'm much more cynical about how things went down at the DNC, and political figures' motivations in general.

Seeing swamp-hoggs like Kasich try and screw Trump in a similar fashion at the RNC, only affirms my pessimistic take-- I think. But, I'm sure I'm a minority in that respect.

It's cool-- we can all disagree on would'ves, and could'ves and other unknowables.

However, the main thing I disagreed with in the original post I responded to, was the assertion that Bernie would've been Trump-proof.

C'mon bro. Be real. The Virgin Mary wouldn't be Trump-proof.

The man has a proven talent for seizing upon any insecurity or character flaw-- real or imagined-- and ruthlessly hammering at them.

[–]Zero_Gravvity1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy

Oh for sure, but how effective it would’ve been compared to how he demolished Hillary or Jeb is up for debate. I think Bernie would’ve weathered it because he’s just as anti-establishment as Trump with the addition of knowing his shit.

But I see how people think Trump is unstoppable; he kind of is if I’m totally honest. Agree to disagree.

[–]sleepyweaselisawake17 points18 points  (0 children) | Copy

I agree awareness is important, but action also needs to be taken. In this case inaction is the best strategy. I don't agree with this ad. It blames a majority of men for the actions of a few. I will be boycotting Gilette for good.

[–]muddynips2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy

Awareness is just a nebulous term that allows people to bitch without doing anything. Shitloads of people are aware of issues and are still powerless to fight them without resources.

[–]I_Dont_Type0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

The mainstream is not aware. If this anti-men shit became a hot-topic then the companies would fall in line with their tails between their legs.

who the f buys those over expensive disposable razors anyway.

I'm not blessed with a big beard (sadly).

But if I had I would either go with some electrical thing, go full on straight razor.

Now I get away with using bargain bin razors.

We already are at a point where men are subject to a lot more sexism.

The fact there is no mainstream equivalent of feminism or fat accetance movement for men while TRP or Men's right movement is frowned upon/compared to Nazis, but at the same time female quotas for job applications are a thing as well as words like toxic masculinity are accepted and well known is enough evidence for this one-sided discourse.

I wonder if a woke white women is behind this ad campaign? Women seem to have no idea how men interact with each other and until they understand how male bonding works, they shouldn’t be allowed to criticize. Women need to stop trying to make men act like women, and understand that yes we’re different and yes that means we socialize differently as well. I swear these Marxists want us all to act exactly the same and look the same, like some bleak dystopian NPC future.

A great ad would be:

Opening shot, toddler is "shaving" with dad, has a plastic razor and face full of foam. Product placement: Gillett foam, razor by dad.

Voiceover about sappy moments and how they grow up so fast.

Next shot is the kid as a 13 year old, dad gets him his first razor, it's a Gillett. Boy is super happy, hugs his dad.

Voiceover about raising his son well, and he's becoming his own man now.

Next shot: kid is early 20s and doing something good, like winning at sports, laughing with friends, or volunteering... Has a smooth face.

Voiceover about being happy about the man he has become.

Gillette is likely falling by the wayside, men don't shop - women shop in most house holds.

Well, let’s talk about specifically what we disagree with in it. Hopefully we can agree that in the past (and still some today) it was acceptable to sexually harass women even as an employer, and that’s bad.

The main thing I had a problem with was saying that boys fighting is a problem. Of course there’s a degree of violence that’s destructive, but (as a daycare teacher) it’s natural for boys to fight as a form of play, and having predominately female teachers that don’t understand this causes us to demonize it and suppress it which is a shame.

Otherwise I don’t take much issue with it. It’s ok for certain behaviors of men to be criticized, provided that those behaviors are worthy of criticism.

[–]DBOLinouttacontrol7 points8 points  (1 child) | Copy

They basically said everything a man chooses to do is wrong. They lined up a bunch of dudes in front of grills, and made them look like they were robots. It's wrong for a man to like to grill? They showed a boss supporting his female colleague by putting a hand on her shoulder like he would a dude. That's wrong? A dude holds another man back from pursuing a woman he's interested in. So, men are villains for wanting to talk to a member of the opposite sex? The whole thing was fucked.

[–]CanYouEvenCount[S] 6 points7 points  (1 child) | Copy

I think you’re missing the point it’s not that these behaviours aren’t bad per say but that they’re attaching these behaviours to men alone. Where if they made a similar advert using the negative stereotypes of women there would be outrage. Especially when studies have shown they are just as likely to physically abuse there male partners “But when subsequent surveys asked who struck first, it turned out that women were as likely as men to initiate violence—a finding confirmed by more than 200 studies of intimate violence.” http://time.com/2921491/hope-solo-women-violence/

That’s true, but let’s not be like feminists. We can be not offended by talking about gender differences. Men are clearly the more aggressive sex (do you disagree?). Whatever study you’re showing won’t convince me otherwise. Men commit sexual harassment so much more than women there’s really no reason why not to say it is a men’s issue. We don’t need to ungender issues that are drastically a bigger issue for one gender.

[–]_do_not_read_this_2 points3 points  (1 child) | Copy

let’s talk about specifically what we disagree with in it.

You're letting them control your narrative. Literally, you want to have a conversation about what's wrong with how men act, because a razor blade company told you to. You're buying into the initial premise that yes, there is something wrong with how mena ct.

The whole thing is a slam on real men and how men are supposed to act.

​

[–]knowledgelover941 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

It makes sense when criticizing something to explain what specifically is bad. You aren’t really engaging with it. You’re saying it’s just against real men.

Do you actually disagree that sexual harassment is prevalent or that men should speak out against it? It’s not good to trash something that has some good points.

[–]red_matrix5 points6 points  (0 children) | Copy

Boys play fighting isn’t violence, it’s called male bonding. Women don’t understand men at all and have no right criticizing us.

Reminds me of when they quarantined TRP, and left an anecdote to a website written by a rapist (or something along those lines).

This ad was directed by Kim Gehrig who has been accused of sexual abuse by 2 men and 5 women, allegedly when they were minors.

SJW’s are hilarious, always quick to point. I know you see this feminist movement as easy PR. Quit salivating about the opportunity at gaining the moral high ground and do a background screen.

He was accused my guy, but maybe he was not charged. As a man you cannot judge with accusations alone, remember that. Only feminists judge a person based on accusations.

[–]throwitdownman0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

Which person, the one who directed the Gillette ad, or the one who wrote the thing for the quarantine?

Regardless, when anyone passionately promotes a movement (such as TRP are bad, or men are evil), they should really be squeaky clean, else risk looking like a hypocrite. Whether that’s fair or not, it’s incredibly stupid to hire someone sketchy to be in charge of a ‘pro society’ project.

That’s like hiring Wall Street to make an ad saying capitalism is bad. Or a BP divorce raped man to make a RP movie. Surely they could have picked someone whose image fits better.

[–]bakachelera0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

I know, right... But my point is that we should not judge anyone based on wheter if they were accused of rape. That bullshit is what feminists do. Now, if someone was charged is totally different.

I hate shaving. When I do shave I use an electric razor. Beards are more manly.

They are counting on the following: "online buzz, whether positive or negative, rarely makes a long-term difference for a marketer since memory fades quickly." Solution: Men, keep in mind what they've done and shop accordingly. I know I will. How about you?

Pass the thought on, more than just here, but whenever, wherever, however and as often as you can. Your only choices are to either get rolled over by his sort of thing or fight back by whatever legal means necessary, whenever, wherever, however and as often as you can.

If you watched the ad, you already lost. Stop giving losers your time and attention. Boycott the product and move on with your life.

[–]LeoVeternum1 point2 points  (0 children) | Copy

I watched it! I did not care about razor brands before, I do not use them a lot anyway. Now I got the message, it really worked, I would tell that effectiveness of this ad was every marketers wet dream 150%, I know not only the brand, but company behind it as well. P.s. It worked exactly opposite way as intended - I will always try to actively avoid gillette, actually I will look when deciding between 2+ products hygene related and not sure wich to take. If one will be made by p&g I will avoid buying that!

I haven't looked and I wont look. Stuff like this doesn't even hit my radar.

Your frame is totally unbreakable and shit like this is literally nothing.

So why have men become so emasculated? Why is society crumbling?

Because weak men have been created with bullshit propaganda like this. This stuff matters.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child) | Copy

It's not crumbling.

Men are not emasculated.

This only makes it easier to rise above them and stand out. Through this change of culture we rise and dominate and concentrate more power by being what a man needs to be.

No matter how much brainwashing media anyone is hit with, the biological systems still strongly respond to proper right action taken and controlled by a dominant and solid male.

Men are not emasculated.

I have men who come into my yoga class wearing women's yoga pants.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy

I honestly couldn't care less... this idea we have to "boycott" a company is egregious. If you want to make a difference, don't entertain this nonsense.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy

This is why I use double edged razors, works so much better than this crap

[–]006rbc-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy

Toxic feminism

[–]SidewaysCircle 1 points [recovered]  (1 child) | Copy

I thought the commercial was fine there. How the fuck are they bashing men? It sounds to me like they are just calling everyone pussies and saying it's time to grow up

[–]_do_not_read_this_0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy

"How the fuck are they bashing men"

and

"they are just calling everyone pussies"

Think on those two comments, dude.

[–]DosKingMe-1 points0 points  (0 children) | Copy
