New York female employees of Bank of America and their recently acquired subsidiary the dominant brokerage firm Merrill Lynch are alleging gender discrimination on the payment of bonuses and other compensation.
Now, lord knows I'm not one for a feminist rant, however Wall Street folks, bankers as well as Lawyers, epitomize the white male stereotype in all the worst ways.
That said, BofA is perhaps the best of the big banks and it would be a tragedy if this lawsuit were in any way leveraged by the competition. It too would be a tragedy if we needed to redo the bailout in order to pay bonuses to the female brokers!
