The great smell of marketing

Article Abstract:

British men are now pampering themselves and spending 469 million pounds sterling on grooming aids. This is a 26% increase since 1985 and a further 7% is predicted for 1993. Men are under pressure to look good as women have been for years, one reason being that there are many women in powerful positions wanting men to look attractive as accessories. The change happened in the mid 80's with such companies as Clinique and Aramis building a new market and Gillette has recently launched several new low-priced products. Men's magazines also promoted these products for their advertisers.

A tradition that crosses the divide

Article Abstract:

Concern for animal rights usually goes with vegetarianism and anti-vivisectionism. In Germany similar views were common in the volkisch racist groups in the early 20th century. Nature reserves for endangered species were planned by the Nazis and cruelty to animals and foxhunting were opposed. In the UK hunting is associated with the aristocracy, so supporters of the anti-blood sports movement are mainly left-wing.
