2. Do you believe it is the very nature of high finance that makes it more attractive/rewarding to certain males?
3. Are people just people or are men and women different?
4. Do you see other arenas where this debate is taking place or should take place?
a. University faculties
b. Military commanders
c. Elementary school teachers
5. Does the culture of high finance/banking reflect the people who are in it or do the people in it reflect the culture?
