I haven't worked on Wall Street for about 10 years, but when I did it was unbelievably misogynistic. None of our dozens of partners were women. The younger partners referred to their wives as "my first wife" while they were still married to them. The older ones of course were all on their third or fourth marriage. And the president of the firm, who was old enough to personally remember the Hindenburg disaster, just went around grabbing the secretaries' asses.

Wall Street has moved on with the times as has the rest of the world in the last 10 years. At this point I don’t think it is an outlier in terms of social attitudes. If anything it is at least outwardly more progressive by virtue of A. Being based in major metro areas B. A shift in skill set demand away from extrovert Lacrosse bros towards quants/techies and C. The amount of money on the line to blow up in a bad HR situation. Are there dinosaurs and jerks? Yeah. But not a disproportionate number.
