They could market shaving to women to increase razor blade sales, because now women employees would have money to spend.

That makes zero sense. Paying people so they can spend a tiny fraction of it back to your company? Why not just keep the money in the first place?

No, they hire them because they've run the math and realized it costs less to hire them than that it costs them in sales due to public perception.

You might need to pause and think a bit more. Corporations are competing for money. There isn’t just one big pile of money somewhere.
