The fight between feminists and nerds, is ultimately a "battle of the social outcasts".
So feminism currently seems to be a little ahead and "winning". The thing is, I dont even care. Never was interested in armchair sports..
I'm posting, this, because by now I've seen the video, and laughed about the long row of slightly overweight men with BBQ spatulas in their hands pronouncing "boys will be boys". (And specifically not "men will be men".)
Thats marketing egging you on to be outraged. And you were. And then society didn't care. But people wrote that you have something against children with aspirational hopes and glinty eyes (final image of the ad).
Playing off minorities against minorities is stupid.
The subtext in this ad was basically - fat people should work out, doing garden BBQ's is not high value behavior, and listen to your friend that tells you that catcalling is not ok. Buy Gilette.
Same as it ever was. Society agrees.
The children with them tears in their eyes are a new addition to the Gillette "repertoire", so is the "don't look away - shame a friend" concept, but hey - marketing people have to do something to earn their living too..
