Imagine the Gillette boardroom presentation discussion about this...

How many sat there knowing it would be a PR disaster, but we’re afraid to say a word against it, it could mean the end of their careers?

“How many sat there knowing it would be a PR disaster“

I have often thought about this. Ad Agencies are infested with Radical Feminists and Poofters. So they they come with this BS. But the company signs off on this stuff. So while they are terrified of the left they obviously don’t care what we think at all. So why is that?

This reminds me of the Smith & Wesson fiasco under the Clinton administration when S&W agreed to a gun grabbing contract in restraint of trade that would have forced all firearm manufacturers into a giant anti-consumer and anti-Second Amendment cartel. It set off a massive boycott of S&W that bankrupted it. May the same thing happen to Gillette.

P&G Board probably could care less about Gillette sales. What is the job description of the CEO (and therefore the board) of any major corporation? Maximize shareholder value. And who are shareholders these days? Not bean-counting little old ladies, but major institutions (like college endowment funds, government pension funds) that are even more woke than major corporations.

P&G stock is up today. I'd say the board is sipping champagne, fist-bumping, and politely chortling "mission accomplished" to each other. Lost sales be damned. Who cares about that when they've guaranteed that the SJWs running investments think they are cool.
