Gillette - The best a man can get?

[imastawka]

The shaving brand Gillette has launched a new ad campaign in response to the Me Too movement. The video urges men to hold each other to a higher standard and to step up when they see fellow men acting inappropriately towards women.

The video has received intense criticism on social media with many men calling for a boycott of the brand

It sure gets my vote.

The 'I'm never buying your brand again' line of thought must come from a similar school to 'I'm never buying on eBay again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



Funny considering some reactions from some males have been akin to a 5 year old tantrum (and what would a 5 year old want with their products anyway?)

It's a great message and should be out there - BUT it's a shame it is an advertisement for Gillette.

I've yet to understand why there is such a backlash from men over this ad.

To the point where they are throwing away their razors.

I do, however, agree on the point of hypocrisy - why are women's razors more 

expensive, if they spout about equality?

It's a cut-throat world out there.

I don't think it matters where the message comes from and I applaud Gillette for taking that stance knowing full well that  there  would be  a backlash.  

I've heard men on talkback throwing hissy  fits  saying they will never buy from Gillette again,  blah blah. 

Why?   Don't get it.    

If they respect  women why do they feel so threatened as that's how it comes across to me.
