It really is creepy the amount of large corporations literally destroying their tried, true, and proven business models. Gillette, who's customer base is predominantly men, goes off to make commercials that basically say men suck. Dick's Sporting Goods discontinuing gun sales, which was a staple of their business; yet it just makes sense to get rid of the guns, good for business???

Now we've got Converse following suit, I never put a label on which gender should wear them, or not, I just figured the shoes were for everyone; yet they make a pointedly man hating, and divisional commercial. They themselves drew the proverbial line in the sand, that never was there before hand; why the push?

Is there another way to look at this? I don't even buy the shoes, but I wouldn't now at this point. Why are all of these companies caught up in the push to 're script' the world, and what of their precious profits? Something smells in this mix....
