this morning new backlash for gillette after its controversial new ad campaign. >> is this the best aan get? ♪ the best a man can get >> reporter: using their slogan, the best a man can get, the video tackles the me too movement calling on men to set good examples for young boys. >> boys will be boy. >> boys will be boys. [ chanting "boys will be boys" ] >> reporter: the ad has been viewed 15 million times just this week. many critics slammed the video saying it portrays all men as bad examples, and now people who once supported the ad are turning against gillette because of the so-called pink tax when products advertised towards women cost more than similar products for men. one woman writing on twitter, the new gillette ad is great but why is an 8-pack of women's blades $3 to $4 more than men's and photos like this are popping up on social media. pictures from retailers' websites showing the difference in prices between gillette razor blades for men and women. according to "forbes," a recent report from the new york city department of consumer affairs found women's products cost 7%

he caught us just kidding actually piers the reason you are so triggered by the gillette ads and sausages and meghan merkel's rejection of you is because you've been programmed to believe that the ads you grew up with they promoted domestic violence against women they told you we are in a man's world they insinuated women need a man to open a bottle and even allowed you to ponder isn't always the legal to kill a woman this was all to sell stamps coffee and beer the ads we women grew up with told us we were too fat too thin too pale too dark to feminine to masculine and generally that every inch of our bodies needed to be changed because men are disgusted by natural female body except they wanted all the time it's very safe so the reason people like piers morgan are so offended by what they see as p.c. culture run amok is because less than half a century ago delicate snowflakes terrified of social change got their way they got to segregate drinking fountains schools and lunch counters because they were triggered by being near those they sell for less than them they kept women out of boardr

desire to gain approval from one's peers and the desire to do what is socially popular now the gillette ad does the desire in me. and to gain approval but it also suggests that the popular social norms of boys will be boys is wrong so it's it's not a great ad and actually going to them because it's giving two separate idea that stay out earlier like you at the start of this i could have joked about toxic femininity but i think you know we hear that all the time toxic probably doesn't really exist but that you think feminism is about. the whole point the entire goal of feminism is to topple the social norms i'll go this again for pairs of everyone in the group to say it's the whole idea of feminism is to end equality is to topple social norms that put pressure on gender is to hyper sexualized our bodies these subservient to corporate ideals of pleasure and pain or to only express our anger in specific ways toxic masculinity forces men to the side of sanders in order to get to the top of a social mountain toxic family and femininity does exactly the same and we as women are just now learning
