Naw. It’s not about the sex. It’s about the money. Men’s money. Deny them that.

It’s about control. Even if there’s no money in the equation, control over other resources that a man might have will do.

Any Gillette execs who think the price for this is too high should thankful it’s only $8 billion

It’s only $8 billion so far. This is only the beginning. Especially since they don’t appear to have learned their lesson.

Losing market share due to something like overpricing can be fixed; you lower your prices and customers will start buying your product again. Even market share lost to a product failure can be recovered if you fix the product. But gillette lost market share by telling its customers to go fu​ck themselves. That cannot be fixed so readily. Their customers that they insulted (a.k.a all Men everywhere), that walked away from their brand, are not going to be coming back, and will likely only encourage more customers to leave.

Gillette has effectively lost a whole generation of customers.

Money is always in the equation, even if only an abstract. It’s how you keep score of everything else.

Ideally for her, yes, there would be money in the equation. But when there’s no money it’s good to have a man around to blame for that. The man will forever be following orders to make up for it. The real currency is control.

Right now I’m happily bearded.
But when I shave, I use a Merkur.
Highly recommended.

Well, Actually they did (kind of) In the last months issue of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, they ran a full page ad captioned “Every Man Sweats.” A shadowed picture of a young MAN with his tottler age daughter. There was no outward social Justice unless you consider the picture a form of SJ in some way. I actually thought it was a bit classy. The magazine SI is another story,…… WTF happened ?

CORRECTION:
In the post above,I said the caption said every man sweats. The Correct caption is “Every Hero Sweats.” Also the young man is in a service uniform………….
My apologies.
That’s due to my reading in the dark w/o my reading glasses !

Marry again, Hell NO ! ( Even JESUS was hung on a cross just once)

And the resources, time, and effort he provides her have a value in dollars. Or yen or rupees or shiny beads or whatever.

Control is a resource. Currency is just a bookkeeping tool.

And the control he grants her definitely has a dollar value. A lot of men learn that dollar value, and to the exact penny, the hard way in the family courts.

Regardless, it’s still hypergamous as fu​ck.
