To be sure, there is no way to prove causation from correlation. Perhaps it was a giant coincidence in timing. But I wouldn’t say there is “NO” evidence to support the thesis that men got offended:

There is no evidence that the "best a man can get" ads pushing back against sexism and bullying contributed to the $8 billion figure.
