And how many women had "conquered" the field of law 50 years ago?! Because had they a representation in higher education 1 percentage point lower than their proportion in society 50 years ago?! Were even 6% working in the field fifty years ago? And what if only 30% left for family reasons?! What percentage of women would you expect to see at state judge level based on how many women studied law, how many used that to get into the bar, how many of those stuck it out long enough (and with enough full time equivalent experience to make it as a judge?! Would that be more, or less, than 30%?!
In the UK feminists are whinging that "only" around an eighth of senior lawyers are women and "only" around a quarter of judges are female.
That in itself should be lighting up a bulb in a logical brain, but the fact is that when judges were going to university only about 1% of law students were female here, and most of those dropped out to raise families, and yet an eighth of "senior" barristers (QCs) are women and a whole quarter of judges are?!
Are they making women judges straight out of law school?!?!?!
