Letters and emails are useless. Your wallet is not. Stop buying their products. Spread THAT word around and let them stew in their own virtue signaling. Gillette did this with that "best a man can be" 2 years ago. Their conservative, mostly male base, boycotted all Proctor & Gamble products and switched products (myself includes) to competitors, and it cost them $5B in profit in a year. I never wrote on email. And it seems to suck to give up brands you like at first but it's really no big deal. Now I pride myself on checking for P&G on everything I buy, and will do the same with Coke now.
The missus dropped Gillette as well and we went to Dollar Shave Club for a while. Then I found out that DSC was giving money to BLM so we moved to Harry's, which for all that I could find the only charity they were donating too were for veterans and male suicide prevention.
Bravo JOD ... I did the exact thing also and will continue to do so...
was in a big box looking for drills for my shop and thought dewalt was a good choice, flipped the package and bam ...chyna made, no dewalt for me !
What was wrong with the "best a man can get" campaign? Stupid men in the adverts, or what? Don't have strong brand feelings, but I never heard about that campaign. Thanks.
It was two things. The first and biggest was the "toxic masculinity" commercial that looks like a Lifetime-original movie where 5 out of 4 men are rapists. Also it was noticeable that only black men were portrayed positively at all in that commercial.
The second was a print ad a few weeks later that didn't get as much media attention but it offended a lot of women as the ad glorified obesity with one of those "plus sized" models who looks like she's one bacon cheeseburger away from a coronary. I'm sure some of the "body positivity" feminist whales loved it but a lot of normal women are just as put off by this "real women are fat" thing as the old complaints of the hard to obtain Barbie doll physique.

What do Coca Cola and Gillette (owned by Proctor and Gamble) have in common?
Warren Buffett (Bill Gates' BFF) is a major stockholder in both, and he has "his people" inserted on the boards of directors.
Interesting that he sold his entire position in Pfizer, one of the "vaccine" companies, just last week.
Hmm ...

IMO, Buffett is not what he appears to be, and is no different in mindset from Bill Gates. That's why they are BFF's.
I did not know this. Thanks!

Same here. I've had to switch up tool brands. That hurt more than the P&G stuff, lol. ??

"Best a man can BE" was their approach, designed by a radical feminist, thay pointed out alpha male toxicity.
