ASS_MAN, Go tell her how you feel… You’ll likely get a raise…and then maybe an increase in salary/bonus.

No hurt feelings, I was just disappointed that you’re obviously here to spout tired rhetoric with a thinly veiled agenda. You come here asking for the “honest views” of men who work in the business and then throw a temper tantrum when you don’t like the responses you get, going so far as to twist words out of context in order to make personal attacks. Obviously, you have some bitterness and frustration about your lot in life. It’s tacky. But also funny (thanks for that). > I just thought it was an interesting example of > discrimination by your employer. Do you work on Wall St.? There is a lot of money on the line. It’s not unreasonable for an employer to want to put together the best and most effective team, particularly if they are risking hundreds of millions of dollars of their own capital. Some people believe that women have no place on that sort of team, because employing women changes the work place dynamics, often unfavorably. It’s much harder for a man to yell at a woman than vice versa, for example.

Hmm and you seemed > intelligent to me… No, but I enjoy riling our OP. It’s working! I do think girls tend to be more emotional though, which often clouds their judgment.

I like how she tried to flip it and say she ‘hurt’ bromion a little. Clearly she didn’t, but the effort was solid. SheFA, I hope you stick around. I also think women are generally more emotional then men. They’re also hotter.

I still believe that there’s no gender discrimination is finance! There are so many girls in accounting, corporate finance, and legal roles! BUT, Capital markets, is just not a girl thing, career in capital markets is for people hungry for money and power who love the kick in risk taking, women are more focused towards making a good stable career! and I am sure now, that you’ll do very well in SEC, you probably have a solid grad degree! on the positive note, you can put those HF dudes in jail, isn’t that cool!

Agree… Although it varies by individual… Plus from my observation, girls who chose finance career tend to be more level headed to begin with.

As much as I love being the center of attention, let’s get back to the question, shall we? I will try real hard not to be a scary feminist. To substantiate that, allow me to remark that I personally have not noticed any sex-based discrimination in the finance sector. I am not US based. I have seen foreign applicants been moved to the bottom of application piles however, with e.g. Harvard + CFA credentials getting trumped by local misfits. But that’s another thread for another day I guess.

^ That’s what i thought! Not so though. XOXO Debrahlee
Men are emotional too, just in different ways. Most people who buy sports cars are male.

In any case it’s less than 90 years ago that women were allowed to vote in my country, and not all that many years ago (in the perspective of changing a macho culture) that married women finally achieved the right to work, get an education or to decide over their own money. Things like that still spill over into our day and age. There are still people around who were born in a time when women still didn’t have the right to vote, let alone get a degree so they could go work on Wall Street. (I’m in the EU.)
Also, it should be “Fewer women”, not “Less women on Wall Street”.
