California Requires Women on Corp Boards by law.

I find it strange that suspected sexism is remedied with definite sexism.

Just for the sake of ridiculousness, what happens if no women want to do the job at all? Will there be two empty seats? Or will women be forced to do the job at gunpoint?

Fuck all this forced diversity. As my hero Noel Plum point out: no one is trying to make sure lots of men go into nursing. They don't give a shit.

Apparently you are wrong on this point. There has also been tuition offered for men to join nursing and teaching. Of course area of high power and authority are more frequently subject to debates on gender representation because women as a class of people are concerned about their cultural, economical and political influence on our societies.

Ahah, I stand corrected! I wasn’t aware of this.

Is it wrong that I think about opportunities for deaf mutes?

I know, right? I mean, what woman would want to worry her pretty little head with running a company, for Pete's sake. Leave that to the men! Their wives can stay home with the children, which is exactly what they secretly want anyway.

"By the end of July 2021, a minimum of two women must sit on boards with five members, and there must be at least three women on boards with six or more members."

Gov Brown states "...recent events in Washington, D.C. — and beyond — make it crystal clear that many are not getting the message."

I fail to see the logic other than misguided forced diversity. This is not something that should be legislated. Maybe I'm just a C. Pig.

What say you?

Yeah baby, by fricking law!  Yay California.  (Did not know that.)

That is so thoughtful of you! If only more women had your insight.

Sounds like a good idea to me.  Who's going to represent the interests of 50% of their customers?  And that's not to mention their employees.  An all male board is just making it a boys club.  And of course, more female board members means more female CEO's.  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.

Tip of the cap to you, Tres.  I'm a master of sarcasm but I am taking notes here.
