Definitely not offended people who were busy burning their Nike trainers a few months ago were saying the same things about Nike and they seem to have done OK.

I await with baited breath, the adverts for sanitary products changing to be the best a woman can get.
Generalizing for the whole menstruating female population, because x % become crazy, irrational, aggressive and some violent.
Some women can be extremely manipulative, withholding and controlling, emotionally and physically and a lot of coercive control. Some of their behaviours emasculate men.
How about we treat people as people and not try to get a one upmanship based on an agenda or gender.
The boy on the ground has got ginger hair, the scene is meant to show bullying rather than play fighting.
Why are so many professional footballers ar5eholes then? And how do girls who take part in competitive sports like boxing, rugby and football develop socially?
I'm not offended by the ad. Just aware what it is trying to achieve for its product: illusory gravitas.
The same people getting worked up and offended by an advert are the same people who think people are snowflakes because they are for genuine social justice.
Go back through the post history of the bed wetters in this thread and anything about racism and sexism is talked down as people being snowflakes or social justice warriors but then they’re pissing their knickers about a boring razor blade ad.
It’s so transparent and pathetic it’s unreal.
Thanks mate, means a lot x
I think the point is that the amount of men who feel uncomfortable by women's behaviour is miniscule compared to the amount of women made uncomfortable by men's - you must have been in situations where women are made to feel uneasy by men's behaviour, be that ogling them, making comments, unwelcome touching or worse. I've had to tell mates to cut it out, I'd bet most of us have, so in the same way there's adverts telling us not to drink and drive, there's less adverts telling people not to drive blindfolded because that's less of an issue.
Of course some women are crazy, irrational, aggressive etc but you can't focus campaigns about every single negative thing in the world so you make them about the biggest issues and, like it or not, the stuff in that advert is an issue and always has been, it's just we're developing into a society which talks about and challenges this stuff.
Much ado about nowt.
Anyone who went to Cantonian in the early seventies will remember Mrs W********, who was nicknamed 'Gillette' due to her seven o'clock shadow. She once crept up behind me in class and punched me between the shoulder blades for being naughty.
