I am fuming!! And this time it’s gonna be serious. Things have been taken to a bit extreme this time around. And it is time to give it back.
It is nobody’s concern whether I want to sport a stubble, a goatee or even a damn beard. But hell no!! These accursed Gillette waala’s will poke their nose into even the most personal of things.
If anyone is lost for context then it here it is – Gillette has recently launched a campaign “Shave India Movement - Women Against Lazy Stubble” encouraging women to shun men who chose to sport a stubble. And they have managed to rope in the most jobless women in Bollywood - Neha Dhupia, Minisha Lamba and Mugdha Godse to endorse the campaign. The underlying message is women should not co-operate with men until they agree to sport a clean shaven look. And to encourage men to take up the razor, Gillette has come up with a Rs 125 razor pack!!
Now my opposition to this is based on two points
1. Men also have some fundamental rights
2. Under the garb of a women’s campaign Gillette are pushing their product
Point 1 first.
Dear Women,
Please do note. I am firmly against gender discrimination and believe in equality of the sexes. But if your idea of equality is to treat men as an inferior beings then I have major issues with this. Men are also human beings who like to exercise free choice and will. This campaign is definitely intruding on men’s right to decide for themselves. There is a difference between an untended for and a groomed whisker. And as long as I am doing the basis grooming it is my right to decide on my facial hair. Don’t need a battery of failed starlets to decide for me. Shaving or not having is a personal choice just like it is your prerogative to sport long hair and a mascara. Leave it to us. I will do what I am comfortable with. If I feel good with a stubble so be it.
Point 2
To Whomsoever it is concerned asshole Gillettewaalas,
Take your cheap razors up your arse buddy…and shave your arse for all I care. I don’t need your products and this campaign has definitely made me turn my back on your products. I would rather choose a product which emphasizes and educates on the importance of self-grooming. Any product which uses such despicable marketing techniques is not for me.
And for all women who have joined this so called “movement of losers”…get a life gals.
BTW I just joined a group “Men Against Women Against Lazy Stubble”. Haha you dint see it coming your ways losers!!
Over and Out,
Shubham
