Women In Biglaw Should Be Pleased That Partners Aren’t Showing Them Their Members

It's the little things that count, right?

As far as I know, no partner at a major firm is in the habit of exposing himself or pleasuring himself in front of female associates. I don’t know if male lawyers have better moral compasses or are more fearful of legal consequences, but I think we ladies should be thankful that they keep their pants on in the office and their hands to themselves. Those little things count.

Vivia Chen of The Careerist, offering a rather saucy observation about the fact that the sexual harassment that goes on in Biglaw firms is nowhere near as heinous as what occurs in the TV and movie industries.

(Speaking of sexual harassment, if you have a law school or law firm story you’d like to see appear in The Pink Ghetto series, please email us (subject line: “The Pink Ghetto”). You will be kept anonymous. Submissions are always welcome.)
