There shouldn't be such a gender gap in boardrooms across the country.
Is this a perfect solution? Fuck no. But it's necessary because right now so many of these boardrooms are nothing more than boys clubs. They certainly aren't hiring the 'best people' anyway. They're hiring the people with all the right connections.
Do you really think the typical woman who are likely to become candidate for the board share much the interests of typical woman customer, much less those whose interested are effected but who are not customers?
Exactly. Leave corporate boards to male board members who surely will share the interests of typical customers, both male and female. See that? A two for one deal.
