As a lawyer, you shouldn't be surprised that men, confronted with a playing field stacked heavily against them, are less willing to be aggressive - at least those not so highly placed as to be above the law.

I don't think it's that, so much as an impression that a woman lawyer might look down upon them, purely in terms of social status. I mean, look at this woman in the article which started this thread. It's not that she isn't getting attention from men. She is. It's just that the attention she's getting she feels is BENEATH her.

I guess the question is, why would any man who is looking for anything serious consider a woman more committed to a career than to raising children?

I think the bottom like is that she walks like a man, talks like a man, acts like a man and then is SHOCKED to discover men want a woman who not only is a woman but ACTS like a woman.
