That does seem to be the new common excuse when things like this happen. 

And not just any bot. Bots are always either Ruskie or conservative. There are apparently no commie or democrat (but I repeat myself) bots.

I thought this was an excellent response (by a woman) to the ad and why it bothered so many of us:

https://www.quora.com/Why-are-so-many-people-bothered-by-the-Gillette-advert/answer/Kristine-Carlson?ch=1&share=bd7af8c0&srid=2IOe

Very good response. And as a fellow chemist and former Texas Instruments 99/4a owner, I approve.

    • What I believe ...
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

No great shocker I guess, but the person in charge of the ad is a raging feminist:

Confession: haven't read all the posts, but....

Switched to double edge safety razor over a year ago. I have a short, full beard and only shave around the edges a couple times a week. Got a pack of Feather blades then and some cheap dorco blades from Walmart. Still have over half of each left. First time I used the Feathers I actually checked to see if I'd really put a blade in. Shaving has turned from a chore to an ritual

Tried to copy and paste the chicks in the latex catsuits with "Gillette" across the butt.


Check out West Coast Shaving. I've no financial interest in them.

"Hey Gillette, does this offend you?"





If that guy wants to take a picture of him and his kids looking butch with their guns, that's fine. Seems pretty silly as a response to Gillette, though.

Actually, people posing with guns like that has always looked silly to me. "Look at me. I can hold a gun." I knew an old guy that insisted on posing with his revolver for every family photo. Or any photo, at all.

Responses have varying degrees of legitmacy,  but I'm still on the *expletive deleted*ck P&G and their harpy feminist marketing person.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Meh.  Pride of possession.  Basically a legitimate feeling... or at least a nearly universal feeling.

Guy probably had the picture sitting around for a while and figured it would be good to publish it as a stick it to Gillette thing.  I like to think an armed spouse took the picture.

I thought it was cute that the little girl was standing between her protective brothers.  That perhaps being the point of the picture: protection being one of the functions of masculinity.

That's why we're bigger and more growly.

I just liked the adorable smile on the little girl next to the serious looks on the boy's faces.   =D

Yeah... awesome picture!

Girl needs a gun though.  I've promised my daughter the 12 gauge hunting shotgun I got from my grandfather.

Yeah, okay, so this is a shaving ad I can get behind. Even though I use a brush, I might have to buy a can of Barbasol just because. :)

Watch and learn, Gillette:

A BIT OF POESY REGARDING THE INFAMOUS GILLETTE AD AND CERTAIN OTHER EXAMPLES OF TOXIC FEMINISM

Sequence of small signs by the road about 100 yards apart:

Quote
When the girls get too self-righteous

Quote
And they over-guess their mighteous

Quote
And their lady parts get all tighteous

Quote
They wonder why the boys feel fighteous

Did you write that yourself?  it's good!  (we have a poet in our midst)  Not being sarcastic, I'm really impressed.

Thanks, yeah I wrote it.  I sometimes dabble in rhymery.  Took about twenty centons, could still use a slight polishing*.  Not copyighted, distribute at will.  "I got a million of 'em."

(Circa 1950:  Whenever my Pop found a new set of Burma-Shave road signs, he'd take us out of our way on our weekend jaunts to show them to us. That used to annoy Mom.)

* Either eliminate "all" in the third line or transpose "get all" to "all get."  Can't decide.
