Someone should have told them that offending the demographic you're trying to sell to is never a good idea.

We should not let up the pressure because they are backing down. The blood is in the water, time to finish them off. The corporate world needs to be sent a message that the so called silent majority will not allow corporations to be used as a platform for leftists to make their case. When P&G sells off a worthless Gillette company or it is dissolved all together then we will have achieved our goal. When we are done Gillette should no longer exist. Leftism will not be tolerated.

Daniel, you sound like a punitive liberal with this. Revenge politics, revenge consumerism, revenge anything is unnecessary and evil. They've already taken a hit and learned their lesson. That's good enough.

Maybe for you, not for me. I won't buy gillette even if buying one blade would save 1000 kids from starving. They made their opinions known, and I'm telling them they can't have my money and can go f*ck themselves.

Not revenge.....I’m talking about making an example of them. This is a deterrent action to prevent this behavior in the future from other corporations who think going “woke” is a good idea.

Oh, I'm pretty sure they're being used as a case study in marketing classes and held up as examples of what not to do in other corporations. Any company who didn't get it will suffer in sales like Gillette did if they make such stupid choices.

We don't need to see them fold with thousands of people losing jobs.
