[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I buy Gillette razors, but not the women’s kind. The women’s razors are more expensive, and are not as sharp or lasting as the men’s blades. It’s been a while since I bought women’s blades, so my info may be out of date. [/quote]

If Gillette wanted to do something meaningful they could stop with the pink tax instead of just signalling with an ad like this. But not charging women more money for personal supplies would actually hit their bottom line. Virtue signaling is so much cheaper.[/quote]

This ad has nothing to do with feminism. Why do people keep bringing feminism into this? It is a totally unrelated topic. I mean I see how it is adjacent but this ad is not trying to say something feminist. So how they treat women generally is fairly irrelevant. [/quote]

I didn't bring feminism into it. I brought "meaningful" into it. Gillette could take a stand for equality and moving towards the world we'd all like to have by doing away with the pink tax.

They could even do both - have the ad, suggesting that men can do better, and then do better themselves as well. But no.

Instead they're choosing to virtue signal. Just signal, no action.[/quote]
