Hi Gillette Sales & PR,
I'm sorry, but --- you really think this ad is going to "win friends and influence people," and, significantly, sell razor blades?
Look, I'm a daughter of a man, sister of a man, wife of a man, sister-in-law and aunt of several men, and mother of two men. None of them really need or appreciate this male-shaming ad. It actually seems anti-masculine, stereotyped, and demeaning.
I personally think toxic masculinity, toxic femininity, toxic feminism, toxic queerness and toxic non-binary all exist, and add up to toxic-humanity. But hey. We get better via grace and grit, faith, hope, and charity. And a sense of humor.
None of that actually influences our choice in razor blades. Y'know?
Why don't you just make and sell good razor blades, and leave the preaching to the preachers, OK?
Just my 2 cents worth.

Good letter, thanks for sharing it with us!
