WPP Exec: Women Don't Rise to Top B/c of Kids

NYTimes: "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. Neil French drew attention to the absence of women at the highest levels of the creative side of the ad industry. French told an audience in Toronto on Oct 6 "that women don't make it to the top b/c they don't deserve to," saying their roles as caregivers and childbearers prevented them from succeeding in top positions." We don't deserve to b/c we have kids and care for them? Gee, since males cannot conceive, carry and give birth to children, I guess we females are the ONLY ones biologically left to do it, huh? And what should we do w/our children once we pop 'em out? Allow them to raised by feral wolves perhaps? Maybe that worked out okay for Romulus and Remus... but call me a skeptic.
