This could explain while males are portrayed lowly in TV ads. I wonder if these women are responsible for males being slapped in their faces (Fiat, KFC) and how they'd feel if their sons were ridiculed in such a manner.

And is this really needed? “Other than following men into the men’s room, I try to be part of every conversation possible”

They must be so proud to be known as females that happen to be in advertising as opposed to being known as advertising executives that happen to be female.

With you 100% on the male bashing commercials and other entertainment.

Swap roles in your mind--not you specifically as you already know this--the next time a commercial shows the white male as ignorant, buffoonish, incapable of the simplest task and totally clueless. . .swap his role with the minority or female in the commercial and imagine the uproar and angst and wailing and charges of sexism, racism and so forth.

And by the way, advertising is supposed to be targeted, you know, aimed at your broad customer base. No so anymore. It seems political agendas trump common-sense advertising processes these days.

Top of Boston’s ad world a male bastion no longer

So the ads will get real whiny on PMS days and bossy the rest of the time?

If “Mad Men” were set in Boston in 2014, Peggy Olson, not Don Draper, would be the boss.

This person obviously hasn't watched the show recently.
