Males often times attempt to help women lawyers in the field of law. Since the field of law is primarily male dominated these men often times will reach out to try to help the women in the profession. This role points to the law as a gendered because since the males dominate the workforce, they take on more of a power role by taking these women professionals "under their wing." This makes the job seemingly biased because the men control nearly all of the positions of power. By these men taking control of the women within the job these women are basically kneeling down to the power of the men in the workplace. This whole cycle is very circular, men dominating the work force, women entering into the work force and receiving help from men, and then the women using the knowledge that they gained from the male perspective to carry along with them throughout the rest of their professional lives. This does not leave any opportunity for a woman to leave her mark on a business unless she is able to make the climb up into an upper management position. While this type of mentality and behavior continues to go on at all levels of law professions, it is still not just nor fair. We need to see more women in roles of power, so that this way the workforce will be fair and unbiased, something that this country has yet to reach in all its years of existence. Women need to fight on and make their voices heard so that the ideals of women everywhere can be heard and everybody could learn from this new and unified perspective.
