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.

Actually, they won’t share to any significant degree the interests of either typical customers or other broad groups of stakeholders in the conduct and operation of the firm but who are currently excluded from broad representation.
But they share those interests not any less than likely female board members.
So to the actual effected boards the inclusion of female board member will serve only as a cynical bauble to placate demands that favor form and substance. And take some of the wind out of demand for actual substance.
