She is working on Wall Street and trades currency???? She is probably one a few woman-- and regardless of being right or wrong, she will be dished a lot of crap for being a woman in a male dominated field.
If she is a woman in a powerful position then she should have a strong resume to aid her if she decided to look for a new firm to work for. It is not an easy decision to make and it is even tougher to go to work each day and face a jackass for a boss. Given the nature of the business I would not go confront the man unless I was willing to pack up and walk out. Many times the confrontation only makes it worse later.
Good luck to her.

I doubt she's trading on FX. There are few females in FX and quite a few people consider it pretty "rough" (my friend says it's boring too) so if she is trading in it then she wouldn't even be allowed to move beyond filling out tickets unless she had tough skin and great skills. If I had to put money on it she's probably at a small shop acting as an assistant to someone on a currency sales and trading desk.
