I have tried to stay out of newsgroups and discussions where I don't belong,
but I can't resist putting in my two cents here.  Most ( if not all )
New York based Advertising Agencies have a high ratio of women in top
positions.  When I say high, I mean just about 50% male-to-female
at the Account Executive and Vice-President levels.  You can check this
for yourself in either the "Madison Avenue Handbook" or for the publicly
held agencies, look at the listings of the top people in Annual Reports,
Standard & Poors and other sources.  Also if you are in New York, the
New York Times publishes a column 'Advertising News' by Philip Dougherty
and you can see for yourself who the people are in the Ad business.
I went to B-school for an MBA and it was common knowledge that women
could advance further in advertising and marketing than in areas
such as banking or finance.  So, the bottom line is that if you are
angry at ad campaigns of certain products, you should blame women
as well as men.
