In my opinion, both Paki's and TheOne's arguements are generally correct. But i also think that if one specifically looks at the situation in our profession, its more to do with the girls themselves and the social background they come from rather than the management of these firms.
I did my articles from one of the big four firms, and during my articleship days, i came to work with excellent female collegues some of whom were literally as they say... "one of the guys", ie they always sat late with the team, went to choona clients without any 'nakhras', and even came on saturdays and sundays. At the same time, there were girls who did like to avail all the "privilages" offered to them.
Now, i am all for giving our women collegues special consideration by management, since we DO live in an islamic society with eastern values. But i have also come across several cases where the management DID go quite overboard in making sure that the "privilages" were availed by our female collegues, and at the same time making it harder for us guys. And this is what i am against.

Totally agreed. In my view and observation, the fairer gender is way better academically, have more power of concentration than men, are better at solving logical problems and can take much more stress than us men.
