YOU didn't complain, don't use WE without identifying your cohort.
There was and is plenty of complaining, about a lot more subtle and subjective messages than Gillette's. And the complainers were given latitude to complain, because complaining about their complaining was rude, unlike here.
I laid out what you would need to recognize in order to reach an accord. You deny, so we have to agree to disagree.
