no. Gillette is targeting women in general because women are responsible for 80% of consumer spending.

It has 350,000 down votes and only 1/3 as many likes. How could anybody spin that as a win? Fishpicker has a point - if they're targeting women, at least this isn't as bad a sign. But if they're targeting millennials males, this is bad. There's no way to say otherwise. |

You both are probably right. Females are probably a big part of the strategy since they both influence male razor purchase but also buy razors of their own. But many could view over patronizing to be a turnoff. Again... I get the strategy but the execution seems really weak.

It evened out over time yesterday because once the "for" crowd caught wind of what the "against" crowd was doing, they did the same thing. In essence, social media "triggering" or backlash or whatever you want to call it, usually serves to only inflate total vote counts, not just one side or the other. But I'm speaking in generalities of course. |

And these votes are heavily biased to triggered reactions. Those who despised it and those who loved it. Especially for millennials, I'm sure there are tons who have a reaction, but aren't really triggered either way. That's a really significant part of the target audience. Again...i tend to agree millennials probably found the ad too patronizing. But I'd just be careful relying on our interpretation of public reaction. I'd pay a lot more attention to how Gillette responds. |

Then again, if your argument is that most people just weren't moved enough to click thumbs up or thumbs down, how are they going to be moved enough to buy Gillette over some other brand? |

Sexual harassment, sexual assault, etc. can be done by both men and women. Those are legal crimes. Portraying it as only a male issue is dumb and wrong. Do I agree with the message that I think Gillete is trying to portray that bad behavior shouldn't be tolerated? Yes. Do I think that scape goating it and making it seem as a social norm and only a male issue is the right way to go about it? **** no. |

1. Laser hair removal for the women.
2. Harry's for the men 10x better. 3. **** Gillette the best a Metro can get. On a real note having a son I can tell you that everyone I know says girls are much more cruel and the bullying is far worse. Last I checked hitting on a woman wasn't uncool and saying sweetie is far from over the top. I have never in my life seen adults not break up kids legitimately fighting so I am not sure what that is all about. Wrestling and grappling is all good if they are both wanting to do it so I am not sure about that either. My son is in a very high testosterone environment competing in multiple martial arts. He is also the most anti-bully kid you will ever meet so once again the assumptions they make are incorrect. He quit getting involved with protecting girls from other girls though because in his own words, girls are crazy.
