I hate having political agendas shoved down my throat.
What idiot in marketing there thinks that you increase sales by alienating a large component of your consumers? Politics and consumer products do not mix, as you are always going to lose a good chunk of your consumers.
Contrary to what many say, corporations do not necessarily put profits as their sole motivator. When a corporation reaches a certain level of solvency, they often feel the need to go beyond selling widgets, and desire also to engage in "social issues." Since most big corporations in the West are headed by white people, there's that all to common white need to be a savior, which is more easily able to find expression with abundant funding.
What's the diff? There have never been single moms teaching son how to shave? Commercial with single dad teaching daughter how to shave legs? Most everyone shaves something (whether for good or bad) so get used to it!
Maybe you intentionally miss the point. We don't know. Inserting a deviant character into an ad for a hygiene product is suspect.
What other abnormal characters will demand equal time in commercials? Or maybe there's an agenda here.
Sorry If was me I’d be embarrassed as hell!....need your father to teach you how to shave. what are you some kind of wuss...oh yea transgender. What is this society coming to! Will this hurt the Gillette brand—-I hope so!

A liberal idiot.
Hope the guy is fired. If he worked for me, he would be. (Of course, I never would have approved such an ad to start with.)

What would be nice is if they would show a truly loving, concerned dad helping his daughter seek help for her gender confusion issue. If they would show a loving, concerned dad explaining why she cannot ever be a man because she was created as a female with female organs and that he loves her so much that he will not stop until she gets the help she needs to fulfill her God given (or Mother Nature given for those atheists out there) purpose in this life as the woman that she is.
A dad encouraging his daughter to be a "man" which she never can truly be because humans don't have that kind of magic wand, just superficial surgical tactics, is a sad lack of parenting and succumbing to the idiocy of political correctness so that he can be her "buddy" instead of her dad.
Razor blade commercial drives Trumplings into safe spaces.

I'm sorry you're confused. I am proud of you for admitting you are the one confused, instead of projecting that on to me, and those like me, as others do here. That's a pretty big step. Admitting that you are the one with the problem is the first step in fixing it. Perhaps if you minded your own business you wouldn't be confused. To clear it up for you, a transgender son would obviously be a boy.
