In an era where identity and representation are hotly debated topics, Hershey's approach to International Women's Day has sparked significant controversy. Opting to feature a man in a dress as part of their campaign, the company has drawn criticism from those who feel that this choice undermines the very essence of a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements and addressing the challenges women face. Critics argue that such decisions by corporations not only misrepresent the intent of the observance but also fail to honor the real and substantial advancements made by women throughout history.
