Why Women are Leaving Law Firms

“Here’s my theory: women aren’t leaving law firms at an abnormal rate. They’re leaving law firms at a perfectly rational and normal rate. It’s men who are staying in law firms at an abnormal rate. Women aren’t the faulty outliers; men are.

“When you look at the situation that way, a lot of things start …

The Hawkeye Initiative – Go Take a Look NOW!

http://thehawkeyeinitiative.com/

This is the best thing I’ve discovered in a LONG time. Hopefully millions will discover it and maybe, just maybe, men will begin to ‘get it’.

When does the magical metamorphosis happen?

Our brothers were bossy know-it-alls, and they did cruel things to us and to animals.

The boys in our class taunted us and always got into fights with each other. They were rude and forever demanding to be the center of attention.

In high school, they became socially awkward, struggled with the material, and became …
