Im not sure why gilette is involving themselves with this. Maybe they had a conspiracy within the company. They need to make nice and put on a good face.

@NeuroticByNature That's the issue though really, they won't do that as we are only men, and apparently just a bunch of crybabies for having a genuine issue with something.

We never get taken seriously anymore.

We are told to be more in touch with our emotions and communicate, then when we do that we are a bunch of whiners who are crying about nothing.

We are in a situation that we cannot win.

Damned if we do and damned if we dont.

I honestly think the only answer is just to be ourselves and stop giving a fuck what women and SJWs are telling us...

@Quizzical women are told what to be all the time. Everything is always contradicting. I think this whole thing is a matter of victims convincing other people theyre being attacked too. Everyone totally lost veiw over what the issues are. This really is a fight for power. Eventually everyone forgets what the fight is about and just keeps fighting. You are right to just do what you do. This is why women seem to change at certain parts of their life. We stop caring about other peoples wants and just do what serves us and ours.

@NeuroticByNature "Women are told what to be all the time"?
Yeah you are told "You can do whatever you want! you can be a man, or a woman, or kick a mans balls".

What's your point?

LISTEN you will get THIS:
women will lose ALL benefits, be treated like men, but NOT be men...
sounds good?!?!?!

ENJOY!!

@NeuroticByNature The thing is, we are ALL told what to do all the time because we are not the ones in power. It's not just pertaining to women. In the grand scale I am just as powerless as you.

There isn't some secret patriarchy or conspiracy giving men an easy ride in life as a lot of Feminists would have everyone believe. In fact, in some areas we have it harder.

The only real conspiracy is that those in power will do anything to keep it and keep the rest of us scrabbling around fighting each other.

In essence, this advert pretty much besmirched all men everywhere, no matter how good or bad they are.

It went so far as to blame men for cyber-bullying of all bloody things... Which is certainly not a gender specific issue.

In essence our masculinity has been attacked, and even just using the word masculinity these days has an attached invisible 'toxic' in front of it as if being masculine is a bad thing and femininity is the only true way.

We are in a situation where we have women telling men how men should behave when they have never experienced being a man, and yet if we dare to suggest that women should behave a certain way we are misogynists.

The situation is getting ridiculous quite frankly.

@Quizzical If a person don't see this problem, it's not even worth to argue..
Just tell her off. The arguments are in the video, if some one sees that video and don't see the problem it's that persons problem alone.

@Quizzical I understand its frustrating. And no its not a fair fight. It will never be. Yes men are under attack. Divide and conquer. We cant let them win. Most women are won to the other side early in life. Im not against you and not all other women are against you. I dont know how any of this can be fixed.

@NeuroticByNature "It will never be a fair fight"? Just treat people with respect, and don't blame 50% OF HUMANITY cause they look like some who do bad things!! OMG!!!
NeuroticByNature · 41-45, F
@NiceShoes calm down. Im not fighting you. No its not fair. And dont let them make you think everyone is against you. Not everyone is against you. Its a controlled chaos.
NiceShoes · 31-35, M
@NeuroticByNature LOL? I don't think any one is against me, I think that COMMERICAL is, that's why I'm asking people if they'll stop using Gilette.
NeuroticByNature · 41-45, F
@NiceShoes well thats where you are wrong. There is a campaign against men. Not evetyone is falling for it.
NiceShoes · 31-35, M

Dude, you nailed it..the white male is the only thing that is politically correct to smear/degrade/put down/slam and get away with it
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@NeuroticByNature I realise it's not all women... In fact some of the most vociferous comments on the day of the ads release were from women decrying the advert on behalf of their fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons.

I'm not sure this can be fixed either. I firmly believe that Third Wave feminists will not be happy until men are reduced to second class citizens and grunts. They've infiltrated the media, and whoever controls the media controls the populace.

It sounds like a conspiracy, but I've actually read Feminist publications that belonged to an ex girlfriend (and THAT was a huge mistake) and the main thing I took from it was that the current incarnation of Feminism is not interested in equality, they are interested in grabbing as much power as possible...

Modern Feminism doesn't do anyone any favours. It vilifies men and convinces women they are eternal victims, and the end result is a loss of trust in each other and a breakdown in communication between the genders.

@NiceShoes you dont see the bigger picture. If this is the first youve seen a commercial telling men not to be men then you havent been paying attention. Keep fighting me though. I didnt make the commercial though.
NeuroticByNature · 41-45, F
@Quizzical youre exactly right. Im sorry it has to be this way.
NiceShoes · 31-35, M
@NeuroticByNature Stop telling me what I see and what I don't see!! OMG!! TRust me, I DO see the bgiger picture, OMG... that's what I see.. that's why I hate this sort of stuff.

Quizzical · 46-50, M
@NeuroticByNature @NiceShoes

You guys do realise that you are on the same side here... You both think that the commercial is slandering men and that it's just one example in a bigger problem.

😁

@Quizzical I don't like people who tells me that "I got the wrong idea" of something, when their perception of "my idea" is something they made up in their own head and has nothing to do with what I think.
You can't just make up thinks some one "might think" then use it to reply with.
