I took the liberty of scrolling ahead to avoid about six minutes of background information.
Gillette Razor's brand implosion. Masculinity re-imagined by somebody who hates men.
Watch the soy-boy simping starting at the 6:31 mark. The man mirrors the alpha-woman's body-language a fraction of a second after she emotes. Her emoting is a hunched shrug.
An open shrug communicates "Cynical resignation" or the "Whatever!" message. A hunched shrug transmits "I am not responsible, don't hit me" even as it transmits in a sotto voice "I am responsible".
Seemingly motivated by the desire for approval or "likes" in social media.
Field trips
We will be caring for Quicksilver for a longer time than usual. Her body-clock is attuned to being here for ten hours and she gets cranky when it runs longer than that.
Consequently, I will be taking her on a field trip. We will visit a local playground and then hit a traditional diner and eat breakfast.
I remember that ad. That's when I started boycotting Gillette in particular and P&G specifically. I had been a 35 year customer. It was ALWAYS Gillette products for me. A couple of three razors a week, a half dozen cans of shaving cream annually, several of their after shave... Their marketing dept and senior leadership will be remembered in the business world forever!
ReplyDeleteI am currently targeting several corporations with my personal boycotts. And it'll be a lifelong boycott. Screen that communist horseshit! Bankrupt the enemy! When they're eating out of a dumpster and sleeping under a bridge, they'll understand regret and consequences in a fashion that they can learn in no other way.
Let's cut to the chase.
DeleteThe WOKE and SJW movement is about establishing dominance and forcing others into submission. The dominant group can preen while the others must grovel.
The Industrial Revolution established norms of cooperation and modes of interaction whereby the workers ceded some autonomy for vastly improved standards of living.
The "Queen Bee" mode does not scale and when it is forcibly injected into a high-level functioning system it crashes the system.
I never thought of it like that. Dominance vs cooperation...
DeleteQueen bee mode... That makes me think of how bees and ants function.
Thank you for the reminder Joe, I needed to have my resolve refreshed.
ReplyDeleteKeep a special eye when at the playground. Injuries happen when an excited kid is let loose around all of the equipment. I remember pushing my kids on the swing, those were good times. Have fun !
ReplyDeleteAfter that advert I also started looking very carefully at the labels on shaving and body care products. I don’t care if they mark their products down below the competition. I will never buy them again.
