theatre productions about teenagers be like: *puts 30 year old man in a hoodie*

Full offense, but when lawyers talk about how their profession is still quite “traditional” or still a bit “conservative,” that is just code for “white, sexist, and very, very classist”
Fun fact but when we are hiring new staff (clerks / articling students etc.), I am very clear that this is not an “old school” law firm. And I have worked very very very very very hard over the last four years to help my Senior Partner unlearn some of his problematic language choices (he is genuinely a very nice person, and like all of us, shitty behaviour is learned and can be unlearned) to make it even less “traditional” even at our highest person.
When I was doing interviews for my first job, anytime someone said their firm was “traditional” I was ready to bolt out of the door.
