PRESS RELEASE

Sub: Announcing boycott of Procter and Gamble Products

About AIMWA:

All India Men's Welfare Association (AIMWA) is the first ever organization formed in India to fight against all kinds of discrimination against men and boys. AIMWA was launched in Hyderabad on 11th October 2009 and has expanded to Bangalore and Chennai within two months of its launch with around 1000 members.

Background:

Gillette, the manufacturer of branded shaving products for men has come up with the idea of "Women against Lazy Stubble" wherein men not shaving, or men sporting stubble have been tagged as "lazy" and their women have every right to detest and demean them. And Gillette also tags this campaign as "Women on the warpath". This ad campaign was launched on November 7, 2009 and includes campaigns on various media channels as well.

AIMWA perceiving this campaign as downright sexist and anti-male launched a massive online protest against the ad-campaign and demanded apology from Procter and Gamble as well as the brand ambassadors Minisha Lamba, Neha Dhupia and Mugdha Godse. The demands of AIMWA were well voiced by our media friends.

 

However, as Procter and Gamble has failed to respect the demands of AIMWA, AIMWA now launches "Refund for Razor" campaign. Members of AIMWA will be sending used Gillette Razors to Procter and Gamble office in Mumbai and asking for refund for the razors as Gillette has failed to respect the very men for which it designs the products.

 

AIMWA also urges the citizenry, those who support the protest of AIMWA against the commoditization of men to boost consumerism and sales, to join hands in the "Refund for Razor" campaign and send used razors back to Procter and Gamble office in Mumbai and demand a refund.

Additionally AIMWA calls for boycott of all brands under the Procter and Gamble India Ltd. Company like, Braun coffeemaker, Duracell, Old Spice, Pantene, Vicks, Oral-B, Head and Shoulders, Gillette, Tide, Pampers, Pringle potato chips, Ariel detergent, etc. and use alternate brands for the same products.

Thanks and Regards

President
All India Men's Welfare Association

Sneak A Peek

Men’s Rights – Perspiration or Inspiration?

As I think about the today's theme - it reminds me of Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric bulb. He had made a famous statement "Things are 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration"

Same applies to men's rights movement as well. It is a matter of constant awareness campaign and hitting at our opponents and proponents of male abuse. Contrary to popular belief, it is 3 times easier to abuse a male than a female because males have no support structure and male abuse is accepted by the society as social service.

Follow Yourself; Not Tradition

As I have repeatedly mentioned in my articles that cultures have deceived men, acting as vultures. Men have been used as the FREE ATM MACHINE, the UNPAID BODYGUARD, the de-facto PROTECTOR and PROVIDER, etc. by cultures and in the process have been reduced to disposable entities. Their abuse is considered a social service now.

And men, the way they are, are in a great way responsible for this. They rarely challenge or question conventions, traditions, histrionics and stereotypes thrust upon them. They do not feel the need to fight for their rights - only a handful of them are doing though scores are getting victimized. They do not demand for their space in the society and accept things as offered to them.

To this effect, today I take the example of Skandagupta - the great emperor of India. His stepmother has him sent to Ujjain so that her son can be made the emperor. He obeys her. But then the Huns attack India under the leadership of Attila the Hun. The army of Skandagupta calls him back as they needed his expertise.
