I read in the Sunday Times today that Neil French - the creative director of the world's second largest advertising firm - is resigning because of the furor he caused by saying that there are very few females holding top spots in the industry by the virtue that they are 'crap'. He also said that they would eventually 'wimp' out and go 'suckle something' (in the context I reasonably presumed that this means they go off to have babies).
He later explained that he had meant to say that women who cannot be committed to this job do not deserve to stay.
That is food for thought isn't it?
This seems to suggest that between having a career and a baby - it is one or the other. How sad.
Ed tried to make the situation seem better by saying that the ppl he admired most are those who can juggle both. But here's the cruel truth - these women are only able to do this because they have very supportive families who are available to baby-sit, and i think these women do not have husbands who are as high-flying as they are.
How can someone be a good, full-time mother and juggle a successful career?
Will I be able to decide to forego my career to bring up kids????!!!
Sigh. I don't wanna have to answer that question...
