Feminist PC Claims Another Victim

bandersnatch writes "From The Globe and Mail:

Legendary adman Neil French is leaving one of the premier jobs in advertising after telling a Toronto audience that family duties usually prevent women from succeeding in the business. Mr. French confirmed yesterday that he has quit as worldwide creative director of WPP Group PLC, the world's second-largest marketing company where he oversaw famous agency networks including Ogilvy & Mather, JWT, Young & Rubicam and Grey Worldwide."

"'The woman asked why there are so few women creative directors. I said because you can't commit yourself to the job. And everyone who doesn't commit themselves fully to the job is crap at it . . ,' Mr. French said yesterday in an interview. 'You can't be a great creative director and have a baby and keep spending time off every time your kids are ill. You can't do the job. Somebody has to do it and the guy has to do it the same way that I've had to spend months and months flying around the world and not seeing my kid. You think that's not a sacrifice? Of course it's a sacrifice. I hate it. But that's the job and that's what I do in order to keep my family fed.'"
