It's cool they have such a strong belief in this to base their whole marketing around it but I'm still gonna stick with dollar shave if I ever need a cartridge based razor

unlike the other commercials, which were just pandering and had nothing to do with shaving, this actually does, and manages to wrap a touching story around it.

I'm gonna go with this. Trans people gotta shave too. I have no idea what the other man shaming ads were about though

it's asking for ingrown hairs

is that the kind of message they want to send

People who need to shave? Remember, Trump lost the popular vote, and most Dems have no issue with trans.

It's the middle class mentality. Work your 9-5, set your out of the office reply before going on vacation, tell everyone to have a good weekend even though it's only Wednesday etc.

I'm not trying to make it a thing about him, just that it's a good census gauge.

Dems are typically trans positive
There were more Dem votes
Thus, there are more people who are trans positive than not

I don't like it when I -have- to do it, for a meeting or something, but it's a great meditative experience when at my own behest.

Nothing wrong with it in itself, but I have no idea why a razor company needs to try to be so progressive. Is it simply just to get in the news or do they really think this will meaningfully change the world?

1) all press is good press
2) the liberal market is a valid target especially in terms of redefining masculinity

Why would the Dad be the one to teach shaving?

Many women shave, too. This ad is just more toxic masculinity that supports the patriarchy.

It sure was. Gilette isn't in the business of pushing societal change, they sell razors. Yeah, with this ad they'll lose some customers in the anti-trans crowd and gain a few in the pro-trans crowd, but more importantly: people discussing this exposes a whole lot of neutrals to their advertising.
