Apparently the EEOC is actively investigating Kenneth Cole Productions for rampant sexual harassment and sexual enslavement of its female and male personal assistants. If you have any relevant information call James Douglas at the New York EEOC District Office at 1-800-669-4000.

The next perverts who should be outed are the scumbags who run Kenneth Cole Productions – Paul Blum, Kenneth Cole, and other senior management male staff who literally hire hookers, callgirls, escorts, and prostitutes as “Personal Assistants” solely for the purpose of sex, oral sex, blowjobs, and other deviant sexual oppression throughout the day and night, both at the office and outside of it. Truly a sick company. Google this stuff if you dont believe it. A new low in the fashion world and in women’s rights.

I totally agree with this since I myself am a victim of it. Employers refuse to see the long term benifits of hiring good employess. They are only looking at short term needs. Women with children sadly cannot get reduced schedule jobs or part- time jobs or even full time jobs if they are not able to work more than 45- hours a week.

It’s a very funny, sad, and interesting the cycle – being a woman at an executive level. First off, you want to get ahead so when the opportunity presents itself as a pregnant woman or new mother, sometimes the sisterly feminism takes a backseat. But then years later, that might be you. And in the current economy, people are expendable. It’s easy, and I’ve seen it, to replace someone for cheaper pay with higher education. So you worked there three years with only an Associate’s degree, here’s someone with a Bachelor’s who’ll take $3 grand less than you because they need a job just as badly.
I do agree with Cooke, though, it gives us women a fighting spirit.

I am always in awe of how few women are actually at the helm and have wondered why? This post shed a bit of light on the subject for me, thank!

Wonderfully important article, bravo. It is a sad stae of affairs around here.

Also disappointing is that while many young women launch their own labels, they unfortunately (for many reasons) do not provide work/life benefits and support to the women they employ.
