Analyzing Ethics
[Female lawyers and their female corporate clients recently had a "shoe event" at a Manhattan boutique to network.]
"Such women-only networking events are proliferating at law firms and an array of other companies, including [accounting, investing, and industrial companies]. There are spa retreats, conferences at resorts, evenings at art galleries and cooking demonstrations, all organized by women who want to network and socialize with clients in their own way-at least some of the time.
"The top brass at such companies support the events for several reasons, most notably, they help to boost the bottom line....
"Still, holding women-only networking events raises some complicated issues. Are these single-sex events just as exclusionary as the traditional spectator sports events and steak-and-cigar dinners have been for men What about women who have male clients and vice versa "
How do you feel about women-only events Are they ethical
