Let's make #boycottgillette trend across the Internet.

PuddleOfMush · 2019-01-14T17:46:46+00:00

Just sent Gillette an email as follows:

I am writing to inform you that I am severely discontented with this "Best Men Can Be" ad. I will not simply sit in quiet acceptance while myself and other men are demonized, patronized, and belittled by an advertisement for a male hygiene product. Gillette has lost my business until an apology is issued, be it forever if it must.

Send your own similar message. Make your voice heard.

My dudes, go to an old school double edged safety razer. It'll save you A LOT of money in the long run and spend the money on the nice shaving cream like proraso shaving cream. It is, however, very sharp and can fuck you up if you don't respect it. Once you get a good razer, the blades are stupid cheap the rest of your life.

FemaleIsEasyMode · 2019-01-14T17:00:25+00:00

Sent an email letting them know I don't support this BS. I'll support that hash tag

Here is the link to the ad

PuddleOfMush · 2019-01-14T17:35:18+00:00

It's not the premise of the ad that bugs me. I agree with not sexually assaulting women and not bullying and stuff. I don't agree with their premise that men promote this kind of behavior and we need 'fixing'.

zelda0934 · 2019-01-14T19:27:15+00:00

I checked it on wikipedia.

Gillette is owned by Proctor & Gamble. You could try and boycott them, but then they sell half the stuff you buy and it would take you a few days just to list them.

Wikipedia says that Wilkinson Sword Company has sued them because they were making false claims in their advertising (still doing it lol). So I'm going to buy a bunch of Wilkinson Sword Company razors. Hopefully they don't turn out misandrist.

Edit: I also found some of their ads

Pretty Good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMoTIiFVQ6Q

Magnificent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkBtVQbSg8w

Edit2: I put it this ways because boycotts are hard. You have to stop buying and remember to stop buying. But sending money the way of their most annoying competitor... Now that's easy.

LegalAdvice_Mod_Team · 2019-01-14T20:26:31+00:00

I’ve been on the fence to try out dollar shave club or something similar and after watching this ad I now have my first shipment coming this week

doxer9 · 2019-01-14T20:59:41+00:00

The comments and downvotes on youtube is just wrecking em. Neat

Drezzzire · 2019-01-14T20:00:11+00:00

The amount of companies with misandrist messages (whether they’re subtle or not) is absolutely sickening.

Since when did companies think that doing this shit is a good idea.

Fuck proctor & gamble

Added to the list of products I won’t buy-stamp it

IDprefertostayanon · 2019-01-14T18:36:15+00:00

To stop bullying people have to stop considering violence against men as a norm. That's it.

animuscuriae · 2019-01-14T19:57:08+00:00

Yes, and boycott their parent corp: P&G.

AndrewLevin · 2019-01-15T00:33:51+00:00

Send this message to the monsters at P&G:

I am disgusted with the add campaign "Best Men Can Be". I am a father of two sons, and your message of hatred and contempt for half of the world's population has no place in the modern world. The age when bigots could demonize undesired groups is past. Gillette, and your parent company Proctor and Gamble, have lost my business. Also, if this virtue signalling campaign is founded on a desire to deflect attention from the toxic materials being pandered by P&D, such as 1,4 dioxane in Tide, rest assured that the opposite will happen. I look forward to the day the world is rid of toxic companies such as P&G.

Estephe · 2019-01-14T21:42:50+00:00

I called immediately when I saw the story on Drudge. I told the girl I was joining the boycott. I did not even bother to find out if a boycott had yet been mentioned anywhere. No need to. Bleed them to death! ------- BOYCOTT GILLETTE!

Estephe · 2019-01-14T21:44:47+00:00

Form of the apology: We shall demand $50 million donation to The Boy Crisis Foundation (to be started in support of Warren Farrell's work with his permission and leadership).

100PercentRudos · 2019-01-15T00:25:17+00:00

Just e-mailed corporate to let them know I was done with them. I actually was unaware that Gillette was owned by Proctor and Gamble. Interesting

Onlymgtow88 · 2019-01-15T00:32:40+00:00

This is the perfect time to show that we don’t accept being vilified and shat on anymore and their business will hurt because of this unnecessary attack.

GrapeCulture69 · 2019-01-15T00:45:17+00:00

Their parent company is Procter and Gamble:

stbacon100 · 2019-01-15T05:17:37+00:00

I want to boycott! Wait! I'm already not buying there stuff...crap...

The comment section is going bananas. Best responses I've ever read on the internet.

Get woke, go broke

All right, message taken! I'll grow a beard.

My wife, her boyfriend, and I all really enjoyed Gillette's message.

48,000 comments were just deleted!!??can't take the heat??

social justice is the religion of hate.

Dollar Shave Club! stop paying for over price Gillette.

Gillette: The best a ma'am can get.

Gillette is owned by Procter and Gamble. Here's some other products to boycott.

omegaphallic · 2019-01-15T01:34:42+00:00

I'm in.

tennisboss1234 · 2019-01-15T02:06:34+00:00

I just sent email as well and throwing away my gillette products.

KilgorrreTrout · 2019-01-15T05:31:19+00:00

Damn. I JUST bought a 10-pack refill of Mach 5 razor heads the other day.

Bald guys... What do you recommend instead? I shave my head in the shower every other day. A straight razor would be death...

constantbabble · 2019-01-15T00:46:15+00:00

I saw a couple of 5 year old boys throwing a ball around like girls. I stopped and took time out of my day and showed the little guys the correct way to hold a ball and how to throw it properly. Gave them a few tips on catching.

THAT IS WHAT REAL MEN DO.

knightlance13 · 2019-01-14T22:31:41+00:00

Everyone should email these cucks!

ratpoison987 · 2019-01-14T19:28:25+00:00

triscuit15 · 2019-01-15T05:11:49+00:00

Ridiculous. It's like they're advertising to women. Either

1) most of their sales are from women buying razors for their cucked husbands, so they'll shave their masculine beards

Or 2) they are really this far disillusioned such that they believe today's generation of men are all neo feminists who will virtue signal gillette's campaign to women on social media by Instagramming photos of their freshly shorn soyboy faces whilst holding a Fillette razor.

leon-theproffesional · 2019-01-15T07:43:35+00:00

Done!

lozinski · 2019-01-15T08:12:26+00:00

Boycott until the appropriate person gets fired.

Apology is meaningless.

nuclearcatpotatoe · 2019-01-15T10:04:10+00:00

someone, gillette stock price. how much has it decreased? the fastest way to scare an is with numbers

flickflack1 · 2019-01-15T12:22:27+00:00

This is the first time in my life that I'm glad for not being able to grow anything more than a scruffy 3 day beard. Enough time to find a new brand of razors that arent owned by a shitty sexist company.

jacko2125 · 2019-01-16T00:59:16+00:00

I've emailed to say there are Anti White, sexist, homophobic bastards. Not all men sexually harass women, some men also sexually harass other men.

scriptx1 · 2019-01-16T22:31:02+00:00

I don’t need a tag, I stopped being a P&G customer after this, which means Old Spice and whatever other names are on their product list.

Itiswrittenkjv1611 · 2019-01-14T20:31:01+00:00

I buy dollar store shit. Is it the same? Dollar general brand razors and cream?

Sam_Dan23 · 2019-01-15T02:25:10+00:00

!remindme

Throwaway887162 · 2019-01-14T22:01:52+00:00

How about let's not! Making a big fuss about a little advertisement is a bit of an overreaction.

DWSchultz · 2019-01-15T08:42:31+00:00

I think its a worthwhile message to buy alternative razors. Gillette is owned by Proctor and Gamble -

Their other products are all easily boycotted:

Crest, Dawn dish washing liquid, bounty and charmin.

halomon3000 · 2019-01-14T23:27:33+00:00

So is this sub like for the ideas toxic masculinity represents?

Edit: jeez a question got downvoted, this subs become legit a male version of r/feminism

Edit2:user shadowguyver made a post where he uses toxic masculinity in the same way i mean, proving I legit got down voted as a knee jerk reaction not cause my opinion is actually inflamatory
