Gillette Faces Backlash and Boycott over Foolish ‘#MeToo ‘Toxic Masculinity’ Ad (VIDEO)

GOOD BYE GILLETTE … YOU JUST LOST A LIFETIME CUSTOMER, #SHUTUP&SHAVE

Gillette, owner by Proctor and Gamble, just made a big marketing mistake, huge mistake. The company whose job it is to sell their products just created a commercial that will in essence lose 50 to 60 percent of the market share of men. Your job isn’t to do foolish social justice, its to sell razors. What better way to do so than to insult your customer base by calling them all bullies and sexual assaulter. Really, “toxic masculinity?” How is this for toxic, you F*ck yourself. Maybe this is what does on in your board rooms at Gillette and Proctor & Gamble, but guess what, all are not guilty. I was just wondering, if an individual of a minority race or say a religious group was known to act in a certain way, would you create a similar ad for them grouping all black, Hispanic or Muslims under one blanket? Hardly.

This type of nonsense needs to come to an end. Last time I checked, it was not only white men who behaved badly. Its not a gender issue, its a character issue.

Gillette has come under fire after releasing a commercial that draws on the #MeToo movement to challenge “toxic masculinity.”

In the ad, the razor brand — a subsidiary of global giant Proctor & Gamble — calls out “bullying,” “sexual harassment” and “toxic masculinity,” and questions: “Is this the best a man can get?” The campaign goes on to encourage men to hold one another accountable for their behavior.

You can contact Proctor & Gamble and let them know what you think of their BS ad.

From the BBC:

The razor company’s short film, called Believe, plays on their famous slogan “The best a man can get”, replacing it with “The best men can be”.

The company says it wants men to hold each other “accountable”.

Some have praised the message of the advert, which aims to update the company’s 30-year-old tagline, but others say Gillette is “dead” to them.

The ad has been watched more than 2 million times on YouTube in 48 hours.

It currently has 23,000 likes and 214,000 dislikes, at time of writing – and that’s increasing all the time.

This is what the wusification of America looks like. Heaven forbid men be masculine. Because everyone knows that girls/women have never been bullies or harassed anyone.

You have just lost a customer of over 30 years. I generally am not in support of boycotts like this; however, in your case I will make an exception.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Campaign fined by State for Failing to carry Workers’ Comp Coverage

HUH, AND I THOUGHT Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez WAS FOR THE WORKING PEOPLE?

You just can’t make this stuff up, from the NY Daily News, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign was fined by New York state for failing to carry Workers’ Comp coverage. This from the Democrat socialist who made helping the working class and poor her top priority. Maybe she thought only workers comp were for those at the “tippy-top”.

AOC

The campaign for new Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has made helping the working class and poor her top priority, was fined by the state for not carrying workers’ compensation coverage for a month last year.

“The employer did not have the required workers’ compensation coverage from March 31, 2018, to April 30, 2018, and was issued a final penalty of $1,500, which was paid,” state Workers Compensation Board spokeswoman Melissa Stewart said. “This coverage is vital to ensuring workers are protected for on-the-job injuries.”

Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic Socialist, stunned the political establishment last year when she defeated Rep. Joseph Crowley, a longtime Queens powerbroker, in the Democratic primary. She went on to cruise to election in November.

Her spokesman said she had nothing to add.

One Democratic campaign veteran scoffed that “it’s not a great look” for Ocasio-Cortez that her campaign received a fine for not carrying workers’ compensation coverage.

Kevin Hart Steps down as Oscars Host over his Past Anti-Gay Tweets

THE LEFT ATTACKING THEIR OWN …

As reported at the AP, just two days after being named host of the Academy Awards, Kevin Hart stepped down following an outcry over past homophobic tweets by the comedian. The Gay mafia gets their pound of flesh. Just curious, who watches the Oscars anyhow? Does anyone care anymore? The ratings of the Academy Awards show has been in constant free-fall year after year. No one cares about a bunch a elitist liberals patting each other on the back and bashing Republicans and Trump. So now leaving the audience will be blacks as no apologies are accepted by the intolerant LGBTQ community, who asks everyone else of tolerance but some how cannot find it in themselves to accept an apology from words and comments said years ago. Oh the tolerance of the PC community.

First Hart was not going to apologize because he had already done so in the past. Then he did, but it didn’t matter because no apology would ever have been enough. So nobody can have ever said or done anything in their past that the liberal thought police disagree with. Good luck to that.

Capping a swift and dramatic fallout, Hart wrote on Twitter just after midnight Friday that he was withdrawing as Oscars host because he didn’t want to be a distraction. “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past,” wrote Hart.

Hart, who is in Australia for a comedy tour, also tweeted Friday morning: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

Earlier Thursday evening, the comedian had refused to apologize for tweets that resurfaced after he was announced as Oscars host on Tuesday. In a video on Instagram, Hart said the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences gave him an ultimatum: apologize or “we’re going to have to move on and find another host.”

Oh the tolerance from the LEFT …

“I chose to pass on the apology,” Hart said. “The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times.”

The film academy didn’t respond to messages Thursday evening.

Hart has since deleted some of the anti-gay tweets, mostly dated from 2009-2011. But they had already been screen-captured and been shared online. In 2011, he wrote in a since-deleted tweet: “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.’”

In an earlier post Thursday, Hart wrote on Instagram that critics should “stop being negative” about his earlier anti-gay remarks.

“I’m almost 40 years old. If you don’t believe that people change, grow, evolve? I don’t know what to tell you,” said Hart, who added, in all-caps: “I love everybody.”

Hart’s attitudes about homosexuality were also a well-known part of his stand-up act. In the 2010 special “Seriously Funny,” he said “one of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay.”

“Keep in mind, I’m not homophobic, I have nothing against gay people, do what you want to do, but me, being a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will,” Hart said.

Let the Democrat 2020 Three Ring Circus Beging … Dems 2020 Problem: Too Many Candidates, Too few Minority Staffers

AND THE MSM MADE FUN OF THE MANY GOP CANDIDATES IN 2016

As reported at Politico, the Democrats problem in 2020 will be too many presidential candidates and too few minority staffers for those campaigns. Remember in 2016 when the MSM made fun of the multitude of 17 GOP candidates for president? Did anyone bother to take a look at and criticize the all white and old Democrat ones, including Hillary? Of course not. But now ahead of the 2020 elections, the Democrat candidates are slowing showing their intentions, as well as others that are expected to run, and the number could far outweigh the amount of Republican 2016 candidates. How many stages and children’s tables will be needed for a debate? However, veterans of Democrat campaigns also seem to think that if the candidates have few African-Americans or other minorities in its top leadership, they will fail. In an era where President Trump is making inroads with minorities, Democrats will be all in playing the race card and optics.

democrats-2020-candidates

Potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidates in the early stages of assembling campaign staffs are running into an uncomfortable truth: Among the already small pool of capable operatives, there’s an even smaller pool of nonwhite campaign managers and senior advisers.

The shortage could have serious repercussions given the large number of expected candidates and the diverse makeup of the Democratic electorate.The party’s base is increasingly young and diverse, and candidates, especially older ones, need staffers who understand how to stitch together coalitions across racial and economic lines.

The emerging campaigns of some would-be candidates have tried to get a jump on the problem, compiling spreadsheets of potential minority staffers and holding discussions with the candidates about the need to assemble diverse teams. Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown and Kirsten Gillibrand have had African-Americans in senior-level positions in their past campaigns, putting them in position to reactivate them if they run for president.

But interviews with more than a dozen Democratic operatives — including aides to several likely 2020 contenders and veterans of past presidential campaigns — produced a consensus that there simply aren’t enough minority operatives to staff what’s expected to be a sprawling field of candidates.

Veterans of past Democratic campaigns say that a campaign that doesn’t have African-Americans or other minorities in its top leadership is going to hit a wall very quickly.

“Here’s what’s going to happen. If you don’t have any people of color on your national team or if you don’t have them in those early states … you’re going to be hamstrung,” said Jamal Simmons, who has served as an adviser for multiple Democratic presidential campaigns. A candidate campaigning in a largely white state like New Hampshire is likely to be asked about issues that voters in minority-rich states like South Carolina care about, Simmons said, and will have trouble responding if their team isn’t prepared.
