Wow. Women issues much?
Eugene bugged me because he was sanctimonious. Actually, most them were, but he seemed especially so because deep down I think he despised himself for the creeps he defended. No one's horse is higher than the fellow in denial. His ex knew he hated himself for the creeps he defended, and I think she wanted him to become a prosecutor or possibly get out of law altogether. "And become what?" he yelled at her at one point. Well, he used to be a P.I. But I wouldn't suggest he be an actor because he doesn't have any talent for it.
Eleanor wasn't the cookie-cutter vision of cuteness that the rest of the women on the show were. She could have gotten a corporate client -- which came after HER because of HER reputation -- but the other partners voted her down because getting rapists and murderers out on the street so they could do it again was much more "noble" than defending a corporation. The Self-Righteous Gang rides again. She wasn't a loser, and was often the voice of sweet reason.
