Unendorsed Kamala Harris Ad Mocked for Masculinity Portrayal

A political ad aimed at encouraging men to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris has been widely mocked online for its portrayal of masculinity. The ad features men engaging in stereotypically masculine activities, such as fixing cars and lifting weights, while voicing their support for Harris and women's rights. Critics have labeled the ad as 'cringey' and 'absurd,' with many questioning whether it was intended as satire. The ad was not officially sanctioned by the Harris campaign but was produced by Creatives for Harris, led by comedy writer Jacob Reed. Despite its intentions, the ad has been criticized for its condescending tone and failure to resonate with male voters. The backlash highlights ongoing challenges in appealing to certain demographics using traditional gender tropes.
