I was walking through the grocery store last week and saw a display, title something similar to "Ace grooming." It was stocked with a ton of uniform personal care items, most of which were black with red trimmings. Then I saw the price. Six bucks for a nail brush, which you can get a normal one for around two bucks. Much to my disappointment, it appeared at if the product was selling.
I just went to their website, and it wasn't much better to say the least. One of the items that really got to me was a nailclipper that costs around $12 on amazon. The site was filled sad attempts at threatening people's masculinity and/or gender identity. (I'm not even to get started on the whole wallpaper thing.)

I learned a lot time ago the best thing a person can to for himself/herself is avoid the messages advertising tries to sell you. I even avoid watching TV because I don't want the subconscious reinforcement of everything with which I disagree.
I really have gotten to the point, finally, at almost thirty that I'm going to be a man on my own terms. I'm tired of having to worry that I wasn't doing it on someone else's terms or to someone else's rules.
