10/22/2005: "WPP Exec Resigns and He DAMNED Well Should!"

A well-known advertising executive and worldwide creative director at WPP Group resigned his position yesterday amid an uproar over remarks he made at an industry event about female creative executives. The comments, by Neil French, 61, drew attention to the absence of women at the highest levels of the creative side of the ad industry.

Mr. French told an audience in Toronto on Oct. 6 that women "don't make it to the top because they don't deserve to," saying their roles as caregivers and childbearers prevented them from succeeding in top positions.

Some people discounted Mr. French's remarks as remnants of the more male-dominated era that was Mr. French's heyday. "Neil French is an individual who's from another time and place," said Mary Warlick, the executive director of the One Club in New York. "His opinion of professionals in advertising is off base."

What planet is this shit head living on? I personally make a six-figure income and no man gave me a dime of it or helped me create it. In fact, my own father told me one time, "most men would love to just be equal with you."

That may or may not be true. But this offensive remark made by French should have women gathering to cut off what little manhood he may have. Sounds like he's a bit insecure. Perhaps now he'll have time to stay home and care for his wife or kids or whatever he may have at home. No woman in the free world puts up with this crap from a man anymore.

It's time to put Hillary and Condi in the race and turn the tables. Boys Town is being torn down. The old boys are just that . . . old.

And now on to succeeding in my top position. Sorry. I just didn't know I was supposed to be a caregiver or childbearer. Thank goddess for that.
