Despite the backlash, the fact that the Gillette spot exists at all is an undeniable sign of progress. It could backfire and appear craven, as Pepsi’s Kendall Jenner ad did when it seemed to trivialize Black Lives Matter, and it could alienate existing and future customers.

The problem is with its approach – specifically with the enemy it chose to call out. This led many to assert that the company was being punished by consumers for an ad earlier this year that took on ‘toxic masculinity’ by pandering to the #MeToo movement and suggested men need to be taught to not sexually harass women.
