There is little more to be said about the latest Gillette television commercial, which was dreamed up in the palsied cankered mind of feminist Kim Gehrig, and I do not wish to indulge in the bad news porn of an analysis. We know that it was aimed specifically at White Men and portrayed us as bullies, effete, misogynists, weak and so on, and crossed the line from advertising to propaganda - although where one form begins and the other ends is open to debate, and I think there is always an element of propaganda in advertising and vice-versa. The question is, what are we going to do about it? Well, I am happy to see that there has been a move to boycott Gillette products already, which is gathering traction. This has already been criticised by feminists on 4Chan, Twitter and elsewhere, who have pointed to the fact that advertising has been used to manipulate women's behaviour for decades. They are quite right, but the same also goes for men. Indeed, men have been on the brunt of some of the most heinous advertising in history. Who can forget this little poster that manipulated men into throwing themselves into the industrial mincing machine of the First World War?
