I don't have a strong view about the particular case of women attorneys, but this argument that discrimination can't be real because the free market would stamp it out is tired and obviously wrong. Do people who forward this line of thought believe that job discrimination (against women, racial minorities etc.) never existed anywhere?
- matt4077 9y agoThis comment makes a good argument, yet it is downvoted without any explanations–as is the similar argument by delazeur. Here's the famous "blind orchestra audition" study: http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0212/7b.shtml http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0212/7b.shtml. It showed that women are 50% (!) more likely to be hired when auditioning behind a curtain. Surely this couldn't happen in reality, because some other orchestra would use the chance to hire all these highly qualified women, right?
