I really enjoyed this post on Agency Spy about The Don’ts of Advertising Agencies: The Women’s Edition. Here’s a few of my favorites and a few of my own:
- Don’t call me a bitch. Shockingly, I’m not on the rag everyday. I just know what I want and am willing to go to any length to get it. If that means putting you in your place, oh well.
- Don’t assume I’m domineering 100% of the time. I find this one funny. Typically, those that are aggressive at work are submissive in the bedroom and vice versa. If you don’t know that one, you need to start having more sex.
- Don’t ask me to wear a skirt. I have to admit, I play to this one. To me, it’s counter intuitive, but on the days I wear a skirt, men take my opinions more seriously.
- Don’t tell me, “Men do all the real work.” Trust me, to do the amount and quality of work I do, you’d have to hire two men.
- Don’t call me frigid. From experience, the guys who talk the most shit about their sexual prowess and how big their dick is? Yea, they’re the ones to stay far, far away from. In reality, they suck in bed and have tiny penises.
- Don’t discount me. My March Madness picks are amazing. In fact, I think you pretend to ignore me because you know my picks are going to kick your picks’ asses.
- Don’t give/take something from me based on my gender alone. Don’t tell me I got or didn’t get the job/assignment/promotion because I’m a woman. You don’t say that to a guy or a Hispanic or a Jew or an African American, so don’t say it to me. Come up with some other reason; it can’t possibly be that difficult.
