Jamea,you are right, but I sometimes give updates on traders that I featured earlier on this thread,be them positive or negative…

I think that’s not only very fair @PipMeHappy but also demonstrates that “they” can be just as “bent” as some men can. :laughing:

THanks, Falstaff.

Yes, indeed, and may I remind everyone that the thread title is ‘why we need more (good) female traders’, which means that we certainly do not want bad traders (of any gender)!

Great to see so many responses to a discussion, I did a Google search on the question " why we need more female" leaving the what blank and I got 16.5 billion results.

I had to go to the third page before Investors came up

Fact is as long as you are not a white male you have unlimited choices

Interesting, Dennis, thank you!

And yet when you speak to REAL Women you happen to know, not one of them has any such “Need”

I think, that coupled with Linda Bradford Raschke’s responses to the leading and biased questions put to her - these are probably the most revealing posts on this entire thread !

Good thinking @Dennis3450

Sorry to steam-roll past your comment, Falstaff…

I am keeping the thread updated :slight_smile:

[Edit - for teh casual observer LBR’s comments can be found at post 694 ]

The experience in Norway has benefitted women further up the corporate ladder but not those lower down:

As always, please do your own balance reading of both sides to the quota argument, and be assured that

it is not a magic wand if used without a context of change.

Just out of interest, How the **** do you get a Master of Science degree in “Jounalism” ?

“…Jessica has a Bachelor’s of Arts in English from the University of Maryland in College Park and a Master’s of Science in Journalism from Roosevelt University…”

@Falstaff Roosevelt’s website now only seem to offer a BA in Journalism and Media Studies

https://www.roosevelt.edu/academics/programs/bachelors-in-journalism-ba#

Perhaps the MSc in Journalism was discontinued.

I have no idea.

Perhaps - but my question was not about whether the particular school did journalism, (although the fact that it only does it to BA level could be pointed out to the lady so she can choose another College for her CV) :wink: - but how the hell it could be considered a Science ? !

It’s good to see that you do actually seem to be reading my posts - if just ignoring them ! ( Post 713 folks)

Anyhow you’ve been busy - digging up 4 new “posts”, with lots of links - to bury my last one under. ! :slight_smile:

Falstaff…

This may be worth considering (a minefield):

Ps: I read ALL your posts, naturally.

A bit off topic but still somehow related.

Tagging @ria_rose here - being that she’s a millennial woman (I think?). Do you work in the finance industry? Or are you the only one among your peers trading? Would be very interesting to know. I know no other millennial woman who’s into trading.
