Some of you are correct when you say that because of the sheer proportions of women-to-men on the marketing/sales/tech side of this biz, the women probably stand out more at the shows. That may have it's advantages, but it certainly can have it's disadvantages too.

Many of the women working on this side of the biz have the major advantage of not being enchanted by the "porn". We all seem to have a major respect for the open expression of sexuality, but aren't distracted by the "T & A" aspects of the industry. Besides which...at the end of the day...if you don't seem to have a clue as to what you're talking about...if you aren't honest and ethical....well, despite your gender/sex...that's going to bite you in the ass.

Nowhere in this thread have I heard anything about the fact that many of these women are some of the hardest working people in this industry. They're strong, intelligent, and determined. Perhaps that's why they experience the kind of job advancement and success that's been mentioned.

I won't name names...you know who you are....but, to the wonderful women of this industry who've graced my life...thank you.
Amen sistah
