If you saw a Facebook ad recently for Jeremy’s Razors, which bills
itself as a “woke-free” razor for men, you may well be a father of
school-age children who likes ultimate fighting, Hershey’s chocolate,
hunting or Johnny Cash. This is according to Facebook’s ad library,
which describes the audiences to which marketers target their
advertisements.

I can see why Jeremy’s Razors is focusing its ad dollars on men who
might appreciate its hypermasculine message. But the reverse is not as
clear: Are these men better off for having been pitched an “anti-woke”
razor?
