And most I have seen who quote it are not using in the way some interpret it:
"Shakespeare's point was to portray lawyers as the guardians of the rule of law who stand in the way of a fanatical mob."

But I am not sure people are saying "Oh, poor therapists!" I am not, at least. I realize that there are terrible, abusive T's out there; there are T's who think they have good intentions, but eff up the client anyway....and many things in between.
On a random sidenote: I have a friend who had an AWFUL experience with a lawyer. He was arrested because he was wasted and saw two policeman whom he thought was harassing a young woman, so he walked up to the police and waslike "leave her alone!" They arrested him for drunk and disorderly. Anyway, he calls up this lawyer that he got from a friend, and she seemed fine the one or two times he met with her.
I wish I remember all the details of what set him off about his lawyer, but he concluded by her behavior at his trial, and what he researched her cases after, was that she was a man-hating you-know-what. From that conclusion, he truly believes all woman lawyers have that same belief. I still can't actually believe that he truly feels this way because he is very open-minded and introspective in many areas of life.
What I am trying to get at is that he had one really bad experience with a lawyer and concluded that all (woman) lawyers are awful, man-hating beehotches. I was appalled and explained that just because you had one awful experience, doesn't mean that every woman lawyer you come across will behave as terribly as she did.
