TV commentators are abuzz about Gillette's social-justice-warrior, anti-male attitude in its most recent commercial. It's as if Mad Men have been replaced by *Mad Women.
But at least we know where Gillette stands. Look at the other commercials on TV with an eye out for this issue and you'll see plenty of ads that insult men much more subtly. Take the Progressive insurance ads, for example. The white men in them are useless idiots.
Decades ago feminists complained about the demeaning portrayal of women in TV commercials of the day. Now it's the other way around. You've come a long way, baby. The battle between the sexes is over, and men lost.
Meanwhile, I have not been a Gillette customer since I purchased a double edge razor at the local grocery store and began using off-brand blades. A comment to a blog post about that change mentioned Astra blades. I tried them, and they're pretty good. Another blade maker is Feather. Both are available through Amazon.
*Surprise: Genius behind man-hating Gillette ad is a radical feminist.
