% of women, CD or any other director role in our industry is low? Those who are talented have already made their way on top, such a great pleasure working with them, the rest stop whining, work harder

Whining is a Republican word. It's a way to stifle dissent. Instead of hearing feedback about oppressive selfish behavior, call it whining.

You and your attitude are a part of the reason it is 3%, so yay for you. Cool that you LEGITIMATELY think that the ratio of actual talented men to women creatives is 97:3 (!), and that the system is in no way broken just because your uppity ass slipped through the boys' club cracks apparently unscathed, and that you think so highly of your gender. I am not even a creative, so don't trumpianly accuse me of whining and not bootstrapping as hard as you. I just actually recognize the greater benefit to literally everyone, in the ad biz and to those who consume ad media, when more women create ads.

I'm not even sure how to react to OP and her lack of empathy. But I ask you this: Imagine you're a successful POC--would you ignore racism and bias because it didn't hold you back personally? The overt sexism and unconscious bias in this industry has been proven by multiple studies (and reinforced by my own personal experience).

@Leo Burnett "entitled" "earn it" "whining" -- interesting word choices. So no one is saying anyone doesn't have to work hard. No one is saying free hand out. The words you chose show you buy in to a philosophy that actually prevents people from "overcoming it." That's the point: by pointing out that we ate losing talent and good ideas this way we *are* overcoming it. Calling it "whining" is to not listen to the content of the comment and to stop *yourself* from opening your mind.

Oh @CD1 ...mentor them. They want to know how to be you. But yes, they should stop whining.

Take solace in knowing these women are likely sick of hearing you talk about your problems, too.

Lol @copywriter1 that's why I have you to fix my copy.

Defending OP. I see too much whining and not enough working. You are not entitled to anything, you have to earn it. And I am a woman. So what if there's bias? Overcome it.

Yup, all the senior lady 🐠 are piranhas. Sharp elbows, protecting their hard earned territory, not mentoring the young ones, feeling all superior-esq. 🤐 I might get eaten for saying this
