Gillette Ad Reaction - What It Means For The Modern Gentleman

About this video

The Gazette team analyzes a controversial Gillette ad about masculinity and the #MeToo movement, discussing what it means to be a gentleman in modern times. They present their 11-point definition of a gentleman, argue that gentlemen should actively work to improve themselves and treat others with respect, and contend that while the ad may be marketing-driven, it raises valid points about male behavior that men can constructively examine and change.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team defines a gentleman as someone who is imperfect, well-dressed, respectful, open-minded, and whose actions match his words—emphasizing that being a gentleman is a choice, not automatic
• The Gazette team argues that true gentlemen should practice ‘civil courage’ by speaking up against disrespectful behavior toward others, including bullying and harassment, rather than ignoring it
• The Gazette team contends that self-improvement requires accepting valid criticism without defensiveness, and that modeling respectful behavior has significant impact on those who look up to you
