What If Women Ran Wall Street?

New York Magazine has an article provocatively titled “What If Women Ran Wall Street?” It says pretty much what you’d expect.
I will add one thing about finance and gender. Wall Street is the world’s capital of the overcompensating male. Far from the hunter-gathering, trading demands that your brain hunts, but physically you’re only gathering. There’s a huge disconnect and as a result, Wall Streeters are excessively aggressive and obnoxious. If any of these guys were in a real work crew or infantry platoon, their strutting behavior would quickly stop.
