Really Bad "Woke" Ad Campaign > Millennials

Millennials are killing the razor industry with their trendy beards 

Oh, please.  My generation, you know, it included the ones who went to Woodstock and about whom the musical "Hair" was composed, had beards just as lush and the industry grew.  "Blame the Millennials" is a stupid game to play.

Could the cause not be ridiculously over-priced razors?  Or, as likely, an ad campaign that scolds about social issues so that the CEO of Proctor and Gamble and his exec staff can show off their coolness to the Wokestapo?

Why Gillette's New Ad Campaign Is Toxic

Generational blaming, like blaming that is based on gender and race and the rest of it, divides us and creates a poisonous reality in our society.  Just sell your dang razors at a reasonable price, lay off the lectures, and stop blaming the kids.  Your market share will grow.
