Goldman's Lawsuit: Yes, Men dominate the firm: Look at the numbers

Yesterday morning, my inbox filled with emails about the new Goldman Sachs sexual-discrimination lawsuit. Some asked questions—you were there, you're a woman, what's your take? Others revealed information. As a former Goldman managing director, let me say this: While I don't know the three women filing the suit, I'm not surprised by it.

You don't have to look further than the numbers to see an obvious power bias towards men. Start with the fact that the executive committee only has one woman on it, and work backwards...(about half the entering analysts are women, not so as you rise through the ranks - whether intentional or primal, the results are clear.)  

I wrote the rest of my thoughts about this for The Daily Beast.
