    Going by the polls, most men won't buy their product anymore. However, if you like gillette so much and their male bashing hypocrisy, by all means buy them.

    Thanks for the post anyway, Most of us appreciate all the work the bargain hunters do finding deals 😁

      It's fine that men won't buy their products. Women do the majority of the shopping and this ad shows that Gilette wants to move past outdated ideas of what it means to be a man which itself helped propagate, and idea that may appeal to women.

        "It's fine that men won't buy their products" Yes that makes great business sense, sure if you live by the old gender roles which I'm sure you despise women do the majority of the shopping but it's only getting more common for,

        A. People to get married/coupled up later in life, so you've got a hell of a lot of 18-35 year old guys that aren't having women do the shopping for them as you suggest

        And

        B. More women working so shopping just becomes the task of whoever can fit it into their schedule that week, male or female.

        Hopefully this campaign flops big timejust like the SJW all female movie reboots of once hugely popular brands such as Ghostbuster and oceans 8 that decided it would be a good idea to take jabs at their core audience before release lol.

          I agree with what your points a and b.

          Nevertheless the seething manbabies are likely to forget about this in a few years. Remember when everyone was ready to boycott BP after their oil spill?

          Oceans 8 was not a flop it made a profit of 230 million.

            @unelectric: I wouldn't call Oceans 8 a success, reviews were not that great and I could only watch a few short parts of it before watching something else.

            Oceans 11
            Budget $85 million
            Box office $450.7 million

            Oceans 12
            Budget $110 million
            Box office $435 million

            Oceans 13
            Budget $85 million
            Box office $398.7 million

            Oceans 8
            Budget $70 million
            Box office $297.7 million

            Given that Oceans 11 came out in 2001 and Oceans 13 in 2008? the figures for Oceans 8 are not that good. They picked up a lot of the viewers from the all female cast and the Oceans branding not because the movie was good.

            @unelectric: Everybody that was ready to boycott BP after the oil spill were lefty environmentalists. That's why it failed, because those type of people smoke too many bongs which affects their memories and then they forgot what they wanted to do in the first place.
            Contrast that with the focus and power of straight white men. I mean, we circumnavigated the entire globe in conquest. When we saw that there were no more lands to conquer, we wept. We built the entire modern world up from the ground. That was us, our fathers and their forefathers. When we organise a campaign, we will focus, we will not forget.

    Politics aside, I am boycotting Gillette (that didn't take long :), and yesterday I picked my first delivery for the Oscar shaving club. I got $5 off the first order, and I got the pack with the shaving gel (which doesn't foam up, but ended up being really good). I gotta say the razor handle looks really cool (this was why I didn't go with dollar shave club lol), but with the gel it's the best shave I've had in years. I'm not a shill, just being completely honest, and they seem to employ old/special needs people as well, which is nice. Well worth a shot.

    Proud of the guys on here (and any girls that are too) for boycotting, I've made sure my household won't be buying Gillette anymore (or any P&G product for that matter) unless they come out and completely change their stance and admit they are wrong, but I figured this would just be a minority thing, good to see so many guys standing up and saying "enough is enough" on a pretty "mainstream" platform such as OZB.

    • unelectric on 24/01/2019 - 23:54

      Why would they admit they were wrong? The message from the ad is stand up for what is right and respect both women and men. I legitimately can't believe the masses of tears that are being cried over this ad. It's honestly astounding. After seeing all the salty tears I actually think the ad justified itself.

            @unelectric: Well for starters let's get it straight, there are no "tears" over this campaign, none, the term is just used to inflame the argument and provoke a response.

            Men (and some women too) are just responding with how they feel about this ad, if you want to dismiss those feelings as "male tears" or "salty tears" then that's on you, and to be honest, probably shows the strength of your own argument/thoughts more than anything else.

    The funniest thing about the whole thing is that there is no way in HELL this advertisement came from a place of furthering the male species and turning us into the best we can be. This ad was made to create noise and excitement - Proctor and Gamble have psychologists dedicated to studying human decision making and habits. The theory is that even though a lot of us SAY we will boycott Gillette/P&G our habit of long term purchases/support will override that immediate reaction in the long term and eventually we will all go back to buying Gillette. This whole thing is going to make a great study in human behaviour - I can't wait to see the next sales number in the P&G quarterly to know what type of effect it actually had on their bottom line. Who knows if they will make that shit up anyway to save face..

    The Gillette ad was pure brilliance. One of the best marketing campaigns ever. Why? The media, comments sections, forums, etc have been constantly talking about it for a week now. You can't buy publicity like that. Make no mistake, the director of the video was making a social commentary piece, but Proctor & Gamble knew people would be bickering about the ad for weeks to come and talking about the brand.

    The fuss and bother will blow over within a few weeks, and any social media campaigns to boycott the brand or parent company will inevitably fail. But Gillette will continue to sell millions of razors.

      I've always used Gillette products and now that ends, I'll try out double edged shaving and if that's no good I'll try other options but I will never buy another P&G product apart from Oral-B toothbrush heads.

    So there I was, putting on my rape shoes, and practicing my sexual harassment pickup lines this morning. I just got done cyberbullying my coworkers. It was time to shave, I yelled at my wife to smile because I demand it, while pinching her butt right after she told me she didn't consent to it. Putting on the shaving cream and thinking about how I can get my son into a fight at the next BBQ, I replaced the worn Gillette brand Mach3 and began to chant "boys will be boys" as I started to shave.

    Then suddenly my daughter burst into the bathroom holding her phone. As I began to mansplain to her why she isn't smart enough to know my shaving time is my time she showed me the new Gillette ad. I realized how my every view and behavior I've ever held dear was wrong. I'm calling in sick at the toxic masculinity factory today and registering Democrat. Thanks Gillette, now excuse me while I help to impeach.

    Imagine the outrage if an ad had been directed towards any other demographic - women, you need to up your game and stop putting other women down. Black people, stop doing crime. You see the problem here? There are bad apples in each and every demographic - yes, men included - but that doesn't mean we should go about tarring everyone with the same brush. Isn't that the type of bullying that Gillette is supposedly trying to stamp out?

    I see this as part of an unfortunate broader social agenda to divide humanity (men vs women, conservative vs liberal, religious vs atheist, black vs white) in attempt to distract us from the underlying important issues that we face in common, and to prevent us from focusing on our common humanity. Get a grip people.

    • unelectric on 25/01/2019 - 08:50

      The only people who need to get a grip are those who are anguishing over an advertisement.

            @unelectric: The public aren't idiots. They can look into the credentials of an entity (company/brand/person) giving advice.

            That entity should be of good character. P&G has historically exploited people in the developing world, including children as young as 8 in child labour, extorted poor labourers, had workers use unsafe chemicals, and as a corporation avoided paying tax. Ironically they also objectify women for brand promotion.

            P&G should have spent the money they spent producing this ad, to further audit their operations in developing countries and to provide reparations to those adult and child workers exploited by their pursuit of profit.

            Instead, they produce an ad insulting and incorrectly stereotyping their primary customer base.

            Domestic violence and "respect" campaigns have been in Australian media for years without controversy. It's clear the issue is not the message, but how it was delivered and the entity that took it upon themselves to deliver it.

  • buffalo bill on 25/01/2019 - 08:54
    +5

    That these products have been on sale at every major retailer since the advertisement dropped should tell us something.

    They have a hypocritical marketing dept… Preaching moral lessons while utilising exploitation of resources and children in developing countries. Oh and yeah, and a quick Google image search shows they also objectify young women for promotion/marketing.

    The ad was insulting to all viewers; firstly implying most men (who have somehow changed since the 1980's ad campaign) don't know how to correctly respond to situations, and then implying that a corporation that pays little tax and exploits people and resources is in a position to give any lesson apart from how to make a profit for shareholders.

    I don't shave as often as I could, but will avoid Gillette and P&G products in my house indefinitely. I don't take lessons on how to be a father and husband from those with questionable ethics themselves. Others can do what they want, and that's the freedom of choice.

    However, I hope this helps teach brand marketing teams in future that attempting to reach into our wallets and hypocritically reach into our lives are different things.

      You don't think that men have changed since the 1980's, nearly 40 years ago? Also, it just showed a couple of men not responding well. It also showed men doing the right thing.

      "However, I hope this helps teach brand marketing teams in future that attempting to reach into our wallets and hypocritically reach into our lives are different things."

        That's rather disingenuous of you. Men have changed (as have women), but not fundamentally in regard to ethical dilemmas (ie. knowing wrong and right actions), which was the context of the statement. If you believe the men you associate with are devoid of morals, then perhaps that says something about who you associate with.

        Nike's Colin Kaepernick collaboration was a little different as it was almost uniting to a certain demographic who were their customers and they got a boost in sales before dropping back again however that whole controversy wasn't without casualty, one being the NFL ratings. Gillette, rather than uniting their customer base, has divided them - and not in proportions that favour future sales.

        Like or dislike their marketing, polarisation gets the brand in the spotlight for short term, but only long term sales figures can tell if it has been successful. After all, given that they exploit the developing world, the whole exercise is clearly really about revenue, rather than the treatment of people.

        It's a very simple person indeed who believes the ad is some sort of public service announcement to be heeded.
