Here's what everyone else around the blogosphere is saying about women lawyers, women and the law:
The good:
- I love Quizlaw. Not just because it's damn funny blog, but they also have posts like this one regarding Eliot Spitzer's wife, Silda.
- The Legal Ease Blog has a great post: Women's History Month: Great Women in the Legal Profession
- Law and Letters discusses a depressing Canadian study which concludes that: The four mechanisms suppressing the advancement of female attorneys that possibly explain the persistence of stratification and subordination are: 1) self-elimination, 2) over-selection, 3) relegation, and 4) direct exclusion.
The bad:
- It's always depressing when the comments disintegrate following a post about an important issue like the lack of female partners is discussed, such as this post at Above the Law.
The ugly:
- The "evolutionary" theories parroted in this Volokh Conspiracy post regarding the Spitzer scandal: men can't help but to have sex with as many babes as possible, while women act unnaturally when they have more than one partner. Ridiculous. Some of the comments are just as bad as the post, if not worse.
