I went to the Slaughter thing last night and got into an argument with the partner. I really need to stop doing that.

He said something
about how there needed to be more women at higher levels in law but the problem was they kept fucking off and having children. Fair enough, but I just asked politely if part of the problem was also an assumption that women were going to want/have children, and thus are less likely to get promoted because of that contributing to the shortage. He got quite huffy but I think that was because everyone else was sitting there lapping it up, and there were several hot blondes flirting like mad with him.

We had a little argument
neither of us won. I did feel like I was buying into the cliche of intelligent fat girl though

Whether I am or not (debatable)
I was, compared to most people around me who were all in the size 6-10 bracket.

christ on a bike
he sounds like an employment tribunal waiting to happen.

i have to say, i hate the whole race/gender thing - i got really irritated at the college of law when i heard one asian girl say to another "i hope you played the race card" and they both laughed - it should make no difference whether you are a man or a woman. but it does. female partners in the city are few and far between!
