In case you have not seen it, they just released a video where they use #metoo to shit all over men.

But where is Gillette's outrage when it comes to:

In education girls are leaving boys behind. In nearly all states more girls finish high school than boys. Women are now the majority of university students, and earn the most bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees.

Men are also at a disadvantage after school. Research shows that they get fewer job interviews with the same qualifications as women. For example, if a male meet 40% of the job requirements, he has a 5% chance of getting an interview. Whereas a similarly qualified woman has an 11% chance of getting an interview.

When it comes to being crushed, mutilated, electrocuted or killed at work, men are at a distinct disadvantage. Most backbreaking, dangerous jobs are done by men. The Labour Department reports that nearly 5,000 American workers die from workplace accidents each year, 90% of these deaths are men.

Criminal justice: A study by the University of Michigan, found that men receive sentences that are 63% higher, on average, than females for exactly the same crime. Women are also less likely to be arrested, more likely to get a suspended sentence and are released earlier on parole than men.

What about unwanted pregnancies? Here women have all the choices, while men have zero. A woman can give the baby up for adoption or even have an abortion, without the father’s consent. If she decides to keep the baby, the father must pay child support for 18 years, even if he earns very little. A 2007 Urban Institute study on child support, found that 70% of fathers who could not pay, had to pay, on average, 83% of their monthly salary for child support. If a father cannot pay what the court ordered him to pay, he will be send to jail. A 2009 study in South Carolina found that 13.2% of male prisoners were behind bars for non-payment of child support

In America almost 50% of all marriages end in divorce. More than 70% of these divorces are initiated by the wife, with the main reason given, “being unhappy in the relationship”. Not only will men lose half of their property in a divorce, they must also pay alimony and child support to their ex-wives for many years. Men losing their homes in divorce proceedings, is one of the main reasons why nearly 80% of all homeless people in the US are men.

Custody: Divorced women are also more likely to get the children. In fact, between 68% to 88% of the time they will get custody, depending on the state, mainly because courts view women as “better” parents.

Life expectancy: On average, men die 5 years earlier than women, due to stress and worse life conditions. Yet, women retire earlier than men in most states.

When we look at all of these factors, is it any wonder that almost 80% of all suicides are committed by men?

But no it is "men who have to be better". Fuck YOU Gillette.
