So from this story, we now know that:
1. A woman at a law firm earned less points for reasons and thus got paid less.
2. The firm claims this was commensurate with her performance.
3. She says it was not.
4. Other women at the same firm disagreed with her.
5. Therefore all female partners at all law firms in the US are being paid less? Or is the title of this article just click-bait?
Also in this case, lets not forget she has had six kids. Regardless of how PC you want to be you cannot possibly argue that this HASN'T had at least SOME practical impact to her career and ability to perform her in her role. To be fair, it's probably had a similar impact on her husband as well - kids take up a lot of your thoughts and time it's totally normal.
- matt4077 9y ago> Also in this case, lets not forget she has had six kids Elon Musk has six kids. What's your point?
- jfnixon 9y agoMusk has 5 kids and 2 ex-wives. How many ex-husbands does our lawyer have, and how many of her ex-husbands themselves have an 8 figure net worth from the divorce?
- synicalx 9y agoHe's also been divorced twice, what's your point?
- itsdrewmiller 9y agoHis point is that the argument about children competing with career priorities is an argument used almost exclusively against women. As it says in the article, she has a husband who doesn't work.
- synicalx 9y agoIt's an argument used "against" women with good reason, I'm sure the stay at home father in the article wasn't the one carrying the children and giving birth?
