Good morning, Broadsheet readers! McDonald’s responds after a report on sexual harassment, more companies are disclosing diversity data, and a new ad that portrays breastfeeding is an overdue reality check. Have a terrific Tuesday.

– Innovative ad. If you watched NBC’s broadcast of the Golden Globes on Sunday, in between Amy Poehler and Tina Fey jokes and at-home acceptance speeches, you may have caught an ad from Frida, a company that sells products for babies and new moms. It featured images rarely seen on television: bare-chested new moms in trying moments of their breastfeeding journeys.

One mom massages a clogged breast duct. Another tries to get her baby to latch. A third pumps in bed, late at night. It ends with the tagline, ‘Care for your breasts, not just your baby.’

The spot is intended to sell Frida products like a lactation massager or adjustable nursing pillow, but Frida CEO Chelsea Hirschhorn says it’s also meant to spotlight “the physical and emotional feeding journey that puts unrivaled pressure on women to perform.”

“The message for these women is they shouldn’t be expected to give priority to lactation over their own physical comfort,” she told The Wall Street Journal.

In recent years, some corners of the advertising industry have tried to eliminate gendered stereotypes from their campaigns, and brands have released provocative ads that tackle prickly societal issues, like toxic masculinity, in a bid to exhibit authenticity and reach younger consumers.

But the Frida ad, even with its commercial incentive, seems to align more with a different trend; demystifying motherhood, the most glorified of human experiences. Celebrities like Serena Williams, Chrissy Teigen, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Katy Perry have helped ignite the effort by talking openly about pregnancy complications, infertility, pregnancy loss, and the more unglamorous aspects of postpartum life. And devastating reporting on the U.S. maternal mortality crisis, which most endangers Black women, has exposed how health care systems neglect women before and after they give birth.

Motherhood, of course, is a source of immense joy, but society needs a more realistic view of what it demands so we can better support women as they enter into it. And that ongoing education got a jolt on Sunday when more truthful images of breastfeeding—cabbage compresses and all—flooded into living rooms on one of Hollywood’s glitziest nights.
