A new book claims that the Obama White House is a boys’ club marred by rampant infighting that has hindered the administration’s economic policy and left top female advisers feeling excluded from key conversations.
In an excerpt obtained by The Post, a female senior aide to President Obama called the White House a hostile environment for women.
“This place would be in court for a hostile workplace,” former White House communications director Anita Dunn is quoted as saying. “Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”
“I felt like a piece of meat,” Christina Romer, former head of the Council of Economic Advisers, said of one meeting in which Suskind writes she was “boxed out” by Summers.

Now...is it just me or do you think this lady might have been engaging in a bit of wishful thinking?

Christina Roemer is more like a side of beef

This place would be in court for a hostile workplace,...... if only people would stop ass-kissing long enough to do something.

It is the man hating feminazis versus the metro sexual elitist commies. I hope both sides lose.

I’m surprised he doesn’t have them all in Burkas, or at least Hajibs.

Doesn’t matter.
It’s all for the cause of collectivism and statism.
The “feminists” (aka as radical leftist women) couldn’t care less as they demonstrated with BJ Clinton.

Marginalizes the carp out of Valerie Jarrett, doesn’t it? She’s not even mentioned.

the boys’ club being just Larry and Rahm isn’t really fair.So the boys' club these ladies are complaining about is two guys? Or maybe three including Barky? Is it really a "club" if it only has two members?

After seeing Christina Romer I have to say that I am beginning to appreciate the virtues of fundamentalist Muslim dress codes.
