@senior copywriter 1, you have a lot to learn, including, but certainly not limited to, actual copywriting.

@SC1 - did you ever stop to think for a second that maybe the victims of assault have gone through so much trauma that the matter isn’t as easy as just putting on “big girl pants”? That DMA has provided them a safe space to chat, and perhaps in its own way, important? Or how about the fact that the victims or these assaults may have gone through the “proper channels” but still found no help? Or fear for their jobs and livelihoods.

It also concerns me that you put “ACTUAL” in caps when referring to assault, as if some assaults aren’t real (or made up). I hope that you learn a bit more about how to have a conversation about assault in a more respectful manner.

Long story short: DMA has a lot of faults. I think they have much to learn about how to carry themselves. But putting blame on victims who were brave enough to speak? I think that’s cowardly and shows a serious lack of empathy for such an important topic. I’d think very carefully about who the embarrassment is in this situation.

CD, what exactly makes them cowards? The fact that they give victims of sexual assault legal help? The fact that they exposed several people abuse their position of power? That they are willing to put their money where their mouth is? The fact that they obviously give a shit about minorities and women when no one else does? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

total cowards. i can't wait till they get outed. you know they pop up in all these threads to make it seem like more ppl are for than against them.

anyone who experiences an ACTUAL assault needs to put their big girl pants on and report it to the police instead of hiding behind some cryptic, damning, dumbass insta and sc acct. where you think you're serving some kind of social justice for women everywhere. puh lease. it's actually an embarrassment.

I admire what they are trying to do and in the beginning I was totally on board. It’s the way they approach it that is the problem. They are becoming the monsters they are trying to get rid of who feel they can say or do anything they want because they can get away with it. Does that sound familiar to you? People who harass others are monsters and should face the consequences but there are humble ways of approaching it. It’s not what you say it’s how you say it and everything that they say just comes across as downright moronic and immature. They are basically speaking out of emotion which I understand but definitely not helping them.

They are basically Cindy Gallop right now. Wait... oh my

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
