Nicki Gilmour is the founder of the GLASSHAMMER and one fantastic young women. If you do not know of this site please subscribe and better yet contact her to find out more about her business. Nicki had this to say about the GS Lawsuit. She too sees the downside of litigation. There is no doubt that the low numbers of women on Wall Street, particularly in senior leadership positions, indicate that gender discrimination is still alive and well. That said it is not the ONLY reason and I truly believe there are a lot of well intending people who want to do better in the hiring, retention and promotion of women. What is needed is some open, honest and constructive dialog on WHY diversity programs and policies have failed to deliver the intended results. For a resource on this topic please download the research paper from the National Council for Research on Women.

Well said!
I checked out The Glass Hammer on this issue as well. As I commented there, as well as on my own blog (http://bedroom-to-courtroom.blogspot.com/2010/09/bs-sex-discrimination-suit.html), this litigation is NOT a good thing for anyone, including lawyers.
Makes us look bad when we already have a big enough PR problem...! :<O :<)
