[ENGLISH] Men's shaving company tries to make men less masculine or whatnot - A Parody

Image
Rationale: For this task, I have written a parody of the news article titled “Men’s shaving company attacks toxic masculinity in new ad” from news website Infowars. The text that I am trying to replicate talks about how a men’s product company, Harry’s, is trying to convey a message on the “toxic masculinity”. It is somehow a pastiche but at the same time, I have littered the text with sarcasm and other literary devices that mocks the original text. The reason why I have chosen to write a parody for this task is that there a lot of interesting aspects in this text that can be replicated sarcastically.
