Wall Street execs too afraid to hire women in wake of #MeToo: Report

“American Woman”

Uh!

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
Don’t come a-hangin’ around my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin’ old with you
Now woman, I said stay away
American woman, listen what I say

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be
Don’t come a-knockin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your shadow no more
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say, hey

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come a-hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama, let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away
Now go go go
I’m gonna leave you, woman
Gonna leave you, woman
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
You’re no good for me
I’m no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I’m gonna do
You know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go
You know I’m gonna leave
You know I’m gonna go, woman
I’m gonna leave ya, woman
Goodbye, American woman..

Wall Street has long been one of the last bastions of poor male behavior in the workplace. Testosterone-driven and male dominated, but in oh-so-liberal Manhattan.

Few of the gents at the hiring level IMO haven’t got something in their past to worry about.

Young alphas with a lot of money in a rich alpha culture.

Ha. But Pence gets mocked as weird.

We just get treated as something they (liberals) don’t like but are afraid to complain about for fear of being called anti Semitic.

You have to learn the liberal game and then outplay then.

Perhaps he could become Amish.

It's true. When I worked at a small, old school, conservative (not exactly a Goldman-like pit of debauchery) investment firm in San Francisco 20 years ago, they had a strict unwritten rule against hiring...not women, but young, attractive women. When we saw one come in for an interview, we all knew right away that she wasn't getting hired. The old man knew exactly what kind of disruption would ensue and wouldn't have it in his company. The firm had no problem hiring older, married women - even into senior positions. But the 30-ish management staff was nearly all male.

When a large company bought us out a couple of years later, the rule had to go away. But there was no way to test the old man's thesis, as the firm began an immediate transformation into the typical, HR-ruled corporate theocracy.

Where have I seen this before? Oh, yeah. I remember now ... “I will make mere youths their officials;
children will rule over them.”
People will oppress each other—
man against man, neighbor against neighbor.
The young will rise up against the old,
the nobody against the honored.
The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves.
Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
Woe to the wicked!
Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back
for what their hands have done.

Youths oppress my people,
women rule over them.
My people, your guides lead you astray;
they turn you from the path.

Isaiah 3: 1-2, 9-12
