Men, Women, and Others (at Wilson Sonsini)
A bit over a year ago, I was reviewing this piece about diversity at Wilson Sonsini’s Web site. What struck me was the reference to women “who belong to a racial, ethnic, or gender minority group.”
I wondered: “What is a gender minority group and who are women who belong to such groups? Hermaphrodites? Androgynes? Genderqueers?”
I couldn’t be sure (either what they were or why Wilson Sonsini was putting the spotlight on them), so I asked some of the good people at the firm, and guess what? Not one of them could (or would) say.
Well, by golly! I think I’ve figured it out. They’re fuzzy women, like Page Maillard.

OK. Where did I get that picture of Ms. Maillard? I got it from this newsletter published by the firm. Take a look at it. It’s chock full of pictures of fuzzy women.

Honestly, I don’t know what a gender minority group is or why Wilson Sonsini is so interested in their members or so reluctant to say who or what they are.
But I know this: 1) whoever produced that newsletter did a lousy job (and probably doesn’t know the difference between GIF and TIFF), and 2) the firm doesn’t seem to care (else it would hire someone who understands print production and cares about quality).
