Wall Street has a bigger problem, that many financial professionals are able to rationalize doing work that harms others. So let's say we can make the big evil banks a better place for women and other people with real life interests to work. Should we encourage our daughters to go work on Wall St? Or should we discourage them, not b/c they can't do the work, but b/c doing the work is harmful to others?
Yes I know banks are necessary, some do good. But I'm talking about the speculative operations at TBTF institutions that continue to add fragility and risk to our economy. These same institutions also tend to be the worst places to work for women (or anyone who has outside interests other than making money). I don't think that is a coincidence, but rather a consequence of the same underlying worldview.
