The "women are no good at science" debate lost it legs when Harvard President Lawrence Summers wimped out. But now ad guru Neil French has weighed in saying they are no good at advertising either (to quote, he said "they're crap"). The last paragraph is missing off the Yahoo! story. It reads:

The executive told Adweek that his main female critic had got her "knickers in a twist", adding that if the audience "wanted Martin Luther King, they went to the wrong gig".

And then chef Gordon Ramsay came out and said they're no good in the kitchen either.

Goodness. So what are they good at (no, don't answer ...)?

Meanwhile, if there is any silver lining here for the gentle sex, it seems feminists have more fun. And Saatchi & Saatchi's Kate Stanners replies to French here.

I feel we need a different take on this. Where's Mistress Vile when you need her?
