[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you  asking women to plan parties or do other historically female accomplished task?

I'm a female attorney and myself and other female attorneys are routinely asked to plan office gatherings and parties.  I had to request that I be treated like my other co-workers and that I only be assigned tasks that will help my career.

Yes!! wtf! How did these always become women's jobs? I have yet to see a role that men take on that's in addition to their regular work load. It's like working the 2nd shift at work. Oh you're a female lawyer? Great! We needed someone to help us organize our file room and have a monthly birthday party for the office...[/quote]

I'm male and (along with other males) I have helped plan office social events in 3 different jobs.  Every job I've had it was more of a volunteer thing (eg, "who wants to be on the social committee?") and those who were interested participated.  Those who weren't interested didn't.  I'll allow that your experience might be different than mine, but your statement that "these always become women's jobs" isn't true in my experience.[/quote]
