Thank you for posting this. I can't tell you how many times the same patriarchal suspicions go on at my agency as well. It's sad and archaic. An untold number of male ad "professionals" need to grow up
I'm so tired of people assuming I'm having sex with all my female co-workers. 🙄
For what it's worth, I'm not sure this phenomenon is unique to advertising.
Gross. I would never blindly assume that of another woman.
And unfortunately a lot of times it is other women who think that. Ladies, we need to support one another.
In my agency people have assumed that I have dated at some point all my smoking buddies 🙄 (which coincidentally all turned to be men).
I'm sorry :(
It's not new but I thought it was dying out.
Ugh, I'm so sorry.
^ Truth. In college some girl had apparently spread the rumor that I had been sleeping with my Art and Ad Copy profressor because I consistently got top marks. I didn't find out until after graduation from a friend and think how unfair it was that I never got to defend myself.
Blame it on Mad Men
Truth. Or the older men don't want to get to know you "too well" cause they have to "be careful" around you... so all the advantages of a mentor go to young men instead. 😒
😟😔
Or you get loads of creepy "daddy daughter" comments.
