Gillette’s Toxic Feminism

Writes Brian Dunaway:

Procter & Gamble’s femsplaining reaches new heights of condescension, but this text from the WSJ article really confused me: “The ad puts a new spin on the brand’s 30-year tagline, ‘The Best A Man Can Get,’ challenging men to take positive actions, such as stopping other men, and the next generation, from harassing women.”

Why is this necessary? Aren’t we told every minute of every day – especially in the advertising media – that women are stronger and smarter than men? And wouldn’t “stopping other men … from harassing women” be characterized as being a gentleman, or even, God forbid, chivalrous? I thought we were supposed to detest this behavior now?

Did I miss a meeting?
