Former Banker Details The Brutally Misogynistic Culture Of Wall Street

Being a woman in any workplace can pose challenges of inequality and discrimination, but Wall Street takes it to another level. The outrageous antics of the financial sector are detailed in the new book Straight To Hell, written by John LeFevre, the former banker who created the Goldman Sachs elevator Twitter account. LeFevre joined HuffPost Live on Wednesday to share what he saw of the female workplace environment on Wall Street. Riddled with exactly the kind of degradation and heinousness you'd expect, LeFevre highlights some of the most outrageous things he's heard men say on the job, plus the imbalance of opportunities for promotion for women and the "fine line" they must walk when out with coworkers.

Watch LeFevre discuss what it's like to be female in the Wall Street workplace in the video above, and click here for his full conversation about sex, drugs and Wall Street.
