This is a product geared towards men. They are simply playing off their motto. If you want to get so bent out of shape over it, go tell Tampax to make a commercial. Then women can use the men who bitched about this commercial as examples of how women are not the only bleeding vaginas.

Yes, that is their slogan from their men's division. But they also have a women's division because most women do some sort of shaving. They are not a men's only company and the issues they address are not issues solely belonging to men.

Okay. So don't use their products. Bitching will not make the commercial go away.

You don't think advertising for decades has told women how ugly they are because you don't have supermodel skin or hair or barbie hips, how bad of a mom they are because they work, or how unwomanly they are because theyre tough? Not sure this is the road I'd go down.

We had a female client come in the other day who has been married for 34 years and raised two boys. One of her sons told her of a situation at work, where another guy was complaining about something, and her son said, "Don't be such a girl." I guess a female co-worker overheard him, and she went to HR to report him. Our client was wondering if she was so out of touch with feminism, since she didn't see her son's comment as offensive. I told her my boyfriend says that to me whenever I cry during a movie or overreact emotionally, and I think it's funny when he does, so, if she is out of touch, she's not the only one. I get it. There's a double standard with this ad. Take it for what it's worth to you. It's like Nike with the Colin Kaepernick ad. It will be a hot topic for a while, and then it will fade away. Ads are not worth getting up in arms over. |

My favorite part about these kinds of ads is that the people who hate them and bitch about them are doing exactly what the advertisers are wanting them to do. There's nothing like a little mild controversy to drive advertising ROI through the roof.

I agree that exposure is what they seek. I disagree that it will drive sales. People are aware of their brand, it's plusses and minuses. It's a product you largely use in private, so there's no signalling to be gained. It's also a product you choose largely on efficacy and cost, and there is no case made to raise expectations on those metrics. |
