What about ComRes, Populus or Survation? You can't just blame it all on YouGov! Others do things that are just as bad, it's not fair to pick on them! Stop singling them out!

So back on topic, I have been researching razor brands that don’t force feminazi propaganda onto us.

Gillette are obviously only for SJW hair.

BIC looked like a good bet, but I just found out that the initials stand for “Black, Indian and Chinese” – no mention of white people. Racists.

Harry’s sound like a manly name, but the bastards are tricking us. Harry isn’t a version of Henry, their full name is Harryina. Bastards.

Venus? Nice try ladies but we all know Venus is Latin for vagina.

Braun? Sounds manly but they also make household appliances for use in kitchens. Kitchens where goddamn women should be. Get strawberry floated.

Philips? I checked and it appears legit, but on further examination I found out they are a Dutch company. Holland is the home of sodomy and ladies of questionable morals. No chance Philips!

Sod them all and their venom against straight white men will hit them in their pockets. I will grow a beard and laugh at the salty tears of the evil razor producers.

I'm sure there's a joke to be made about neck beards and not shaving but I can't quite get there.

Clearly we men need to reclaim waxing as a tool for hair removal from those vile "women" who've deprived us of it for so long.

Also it sounds like "wanking" which obviously all honest manly men enjoy almost as much as objectifying the ladies so that's an added bonus.

YouGov wrote:Did Gillette’s advert backfire? Only three in ten Brits think it’s fair to ask men as a whole to be better

Image

A few weeks ago a well-intentioned advert from Gillette caused controversy by attempting to tackle toxic masculinity, calling on men to hold one another accountable for their actions.

Many of the advert’s critics claimed it tarred all men with the same brush, a common refrain often seen on social media when someone calls out bad male behaviour - often accompanied by the hashtag #notallmen.

Following the response to the advert, YouGov Profiles data of more than 27,000 people tested the nation’s opinion on asking men as an entire sex to improve their behaviour.

We asked Britons which view came closest to their own: “there is room for improvement among all or nearly all men and it is right to ask men as a whole to be better” or “the problems blamed on men as a whole are only caused by a small minority and it is wrong to blame all men for it”.

The results show that the majority – 58% – feel it’s wrong to hold all men accountable for the actions of a few. Only 29% think that it’s acceptable to ask men as a whole to be better.

If you expected the genders to be split in their opinions, you’d be wrong. Similar numbers of men (61%) and women (56%) think that such problems blamed on men in general are misdirected, while 28% of men and 30% of women took the opposing view.

This is instead a generational issue. The youngest Britons – 18 to 24 year olds – are near evenly split on the options, with 39% saying it’s appropriate to ask all men to be better, and 42% say criticism should not be directed at all men.

However these figures steadily diverge with each older age group, with just 25% of those aged 60 and older saying it’s right to demand all men up their game, compared to 69% who hold the ‘not all men’ view.

Image

Not all men and feminism

The two sides of the #notallmen divide are also split on other gender issues.

While three quarters (74%) of those who think it’s right to ask men as a whole to be better believe that the definition of feminism is “that women and men should be equal”, barely a majority (54%) of the #notallmen group say the same.

By contrast, 38% of the #notallmen group think the definition of feminism is “to be pro-women (at the expense of men). Just 16% of the opposing group believe this to be the case.

Likewise, half (51%) of those who think it’s right to ask men as a whole to be better say that the world would be a better place if women were in charge. Just a quarter (27%) of those with the #notallmen group agree.

The Gillette backlash seems perhaps more inevitable in the light of the fact that only 29% of the #notallmen group say they like brands that are willing to get involved in societal issues. This is far lower than it is among those who think it is right to ask men as a whole to be better (51%).

The #notallmen crowd are likewise unimpressed by celebrities espousing their own political and social views – fully 64% think they should refrain from doing so at award ceremonies, while just 35% of those who say it is right to ask men as a whole to improve their behaviour are in agreement.

These differences hold up even when you take into account the age differences between the two groups.

It didn't backfire, because people are still talking about it.

I think that the advert and that article were arguing completely different things.

John the builder said on Twitter than he thinks Gary Lineker should stick to football and stop posting on Twitter about politics. John the builder later posted on Twitter that Theresa May should "just get us out, get us out now!!!" and that "WTO rules work for everyone else!!!!!".

He did that DK64 100% stream where he raised £300,000 (was it?) for the trans charity Mermaids to counter Graham Lineham getting Mumsnet to complain to the lottery and remove their funding. Maybs you know him from that?
