Name a top ten player who is a woman .........................
Tricky now cj has left.
===
left what?! am i no longer counted because i don't run someone else's program anymore? I've still got my own business which has remained successful and profitable for 4 years ... nick, I'm going to enjoy making you eat your words.
;-)
>>Are you a woman working for a large company and do you feel that being a woman has advantages or disadvantages?
I ran sexhit for 2 years. The formula that raised this business to one of the largest in the industry was a smart team, clever men and clever women. A female personality to break the ice in the industry, who also happens to be able to form a sentence related to business.
>>Or are you a business owner who prefers to hire women and why? OR are you a business owner who doesn’t care what the gender is as long as the job gets done.
I hire whoever will get the work done, usually in this technology industry its men - simply because there are so few women working with computers. I do know that all the women I've hired have either been loyal for a long time, or turned into bitchy little cows who i had to throw out on their ass. About the same with the men really ;-)
>>OR are you a business owner who would never put a woman in a position of power?
Women with power is dangerous. But then, so is a man with an ego. My employers and business partners over the years have never had a problem with putting me in a position of power, but then again, they really didn't have a choice ;-)
Now, as for the top 10 players.
I'm going to do something a little different and add some of the top X companies who have gotten where they are LARGELY due to their female leadership, management or marketing. A player doesn't have to be the boss, or even the owner of the bank account. A player is someone who has influence and can get shit done. Women ROCK in this area.
* WEG - How many webmasters even know jordan? There's no doubt he's the brilliance and brains behind the company ... but who makes shit happen? Shokk & Rrred, a kickass team!!! I'm always crossing paths with webmasters who work with Rrred, and have never heard a negative ... and there's no doubt .. she does BIG BUSINESS.
* Insite Adult - Where would John be without Samantha? This is ONE amazing lady, chat for 5 minutes and MOST of you will realize .... YOU KNOW NOTHING.
* Cashquest, Flynt Digital - Ken's too busy smoozing with the WEG staff taking care of OTHER business, & I bet Amber does half of his work!! Amber is an industry legend - she's brought success to employers AND holds her own ground with her own projects.
* KK - shutup for a minute serge. Kimmy has guided webmaster minds towards her products for 5 years. She's been involved in more controversy and bashing than any of us and still manages to get shit done. KK was the sole reason that most companies felt that all they needed was a chick up front and they would be as successful.
*Lee Noga - Always doing whatever the hell she wants and still a leader. If you want influence, here it is!
* PK - nuff said really. proved she's the top chick in the biz over and over.
Add to the influence list Fay Sharp, Jennifer at AVN, snoops, tweet & sandra ... i'm going to forget someone so i'll stop.
The money may not be in our names boys, but you know we control it!
This industry has taken so many trends towards employing women. The last few years has seen every program stick a fake chick's name at the front 'brandy, candy, blondie, blondie 2 3 4 & 5, blondy (with a y), honey, cutie pie' etc etc. I especially love these wonderful 'ladies' who email me and say 'hey, seeing we are both women, can you help me with some traffic?' ... um, no i can't. fuck off and earn your place for yourself and stop pulling the 'i'm so pathetic' card.
the women who i've named above know how to play the game. But it will be decades before women are simply 'accepted without question' into management roles.
