THE BEST MEN CAN BE

DT_headline_line_right.png

Thirty years ago, we launched our The Best A Man Can Get tagline.

Since then, it has been an aspirational statement, reflecting standards that many men strive to achieve.

But turn on the news today and it’s easy to believe that men are not at their best. Many find themselves at a crossroads, caught between the past and a new era of masculinity. While it is clear that changes are needed, where and how we can start to effect that change is less obvious for many. And when the changes needed seem so monumental, it can feel daunting to begin. So, let’s do it together.

It’s time we acknowledge that brands, like ours, play a role in influencing culture. And as a company that encourages men to be their best, we have a responsibility to make sure we are promoting positive, attainable, inclusive and healthy versions of what it means to be a man. With that in mind, we have spent the last few months taking a hard look at our past and coming communication and reflecting on the types of men and behaviors we want to celebrate. We’re inviting all men along this journey with us – to strive to be better, to make us better, and to help each other be better.

From today on, we pledge to actively challenge the stereotypes and expectations of what it means to be a man everywhere you see Gillette. In the ads we run, the images we publish to social media, the words we choose, and so much more.

As part of The Best Men Can Be campaign, Gillette is committing to donate $1 million per year for the next three years to non-profit organizations executing programs in the United States designed to inspire, educate and help men of all ages achieve their personal “best” and become role models for the next generation.

Our tagline needs to continue to inspire us all to be better every day, and to help create a new standard for boys to admire and for men to achieve… Because the boys of today are the men of tomorrow.

We’ve all got work to do. And it starts today.

Gillette. The Best A Man Can Get.

...

Gillette is committed to driving change that matters, starting with our own actions and expanding out to programs that support men of positive action everywhere. To make our vision of the Best Men Can Be a reality, we will be distributing $1 Million per year for the next three years to non-profit organizations executing the most interesting and impactful programs designed to help men of all ages achieve their personal best.


Our first partner in this effort is The Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Positive experiences at Boys & Girls Clubs provides young men with the important social and emotional skills they need to communicate effectively, to work with others, and develop coping mechanisms in order to face challenging situations. These skills are critical in everyday life and to the success of young people.


With more than 4,300 Clubs across the country, Boys & Girls Clubs’ singular mission is to ensure that youth in America have the opportunities that set them up for success so that they graduate on-time with a plan for their futures, where they live healthy lifestyles and give back to their communities.

Apparently Gillette is deleting comments en masse.

The cucks love it though:

 
This is a great opportunity for Trump to put his name on some shitty Chinese made razors and start selling them.
 
so many snowflakes in this anti-gillette movement.
 
Are these razors made here? I've paid what I consider to be a pretty good price for these things over the last 20 years.

Gillette's 'We Believe' ad focusing on 'toxic masculinity' gets mixed response, sends upset customers to seek other brands

Gillette's 'We Believe' ad focusing on 'toxic masculinity' gets mixed response

Gillette debuted its 'We Believe' campaign aimed at combating 'toxic masculinity;' critics of the ad are already upset with Gillette for what some feel is an 'insulting' message that assumes misogyny is rampant among their customer base.

Gillette’s new commercial might not be as cutting-edge as the company had hoped.

It’s only been a day since Gillette debuted its “We Believe” campaign aimed at combating “toxic masculinity,” and while the ad has earned plenty of praise – and even more publicity – for the brand, critics of the ad are already upset with Gillette for what some feel is an “insulting” message that assumes misogyny is rampant among their customer base.

Others took issue with the company for using a social movement to sell razors, and suggesting that Gillette, which also markets the Venus line aimed at female customers, is being hypocritical.

The ad, which debuted Monday, begins with “a compilation of actions commonly associated with 'toxic masculinity,'" per a press release — actions including online bullying, men laughing at misogynistic television shows, or a boss mansplaining his female colleague’s idea, among others.

The ad then shifts and suggests that “something changed” not long ago – a reference to the #MeToo movement – and shows clips of men defending others from bullying, or stopping friends from harassing, hurtful behavior.

“We believe in the best in men,” a narrator says. “To say the right thing, to act the right way. Some already are. But some is not enough. Because the boys watching today will be the men of tomorrow.”

Gillette also acknowledged on social media that while much has been done to achieve those ends, "we still have more work to do."

But while Gillette says it’s aiming to challenge men “to do more” to “get closer to our best,” some of the customer base was turned off by the ad.

“As a very successful, loving, and responsible husband (married 32 years) and father of two confident young adults (male and female), I find this ad INCREDIBLY insulting,” one commenter wrote on YouTube, where Gillette’s “We Believe” ad had racked up nearly 3 million views as of Tuesday morning. “Gillette has NO BUSINESS assuming most men are bad and misogynistic. I'm not buying ANOTHER product from these self-important morons. How DARE you, Gillette...”

“How to insult 99% of your market lol,” wrote another.

"Get woke, go broke," someone else theorized.

Some customers also vowed to stop using Gillette’s products altogether — a trend the folks at Dollar Shave Club presumably became aware of on Monday.

“Welcome to the Club,” the shaving and toiletries brand wrote in a Twitter post, which soon garnered responses from Twitter users claiming to have left Gillette for the Dollar Shave Club.

Another Twitter user, meanwhile, suggested that Gillette may be being a bit hypocritical, as they also produce the Venus razor line, which she believed to be a bit pandering to its intended customers.

"If @Gillette really want to make a change perhaps they could start by looking at their pink ‘Venus’ range for women that includes names like Passion and Embrace and costs more than the men’s ranges for the same thing," wrote one user. "Thanks."

Pahjak Bhalla, Gillette’s brand manager, has since said the company felt “compelled” to comment on social issues to spur men to take action.

“This is an important conversation happening, and as a company that encourages men to be their best, we feel compelled to both address it and take action of our own,” said Bhalla in a statement to the Wall Street Journal. “We are taking a realistic look at what’s happening today, and aiming to inspire change by acknowledging that the old saying ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ is not an excuse.”

Bhalla also confirmed to WSJ that Procter & Gamble, which owns Gillette, has no intention of pulling the campaign over any backlash.

A representative for Procter & Gamble was not immediately available to comment for Fox News.

It does effect your customer base when you try to insult or lecture them, Bonobos did something similar about "redefining masculinity" or some stupid shit like that. I thought it was fucking stupid, so I bought less stuff from them than I would have.
