This is ridiculous.
quote:


California has become the first state to require publicly traded companies to include women on their boards of directors, according to a law signed Sunday by Gov. Jerry Brown.

The measure requires at least one female director on each board of California-based corporations by the end of next year. Companies would need up to three female directors by the end of 2021, depending on the number of board seats.

How about letting corps have the most qualified people on boards, regardless of gender?

Liberals prove once again they are so weak that they need forced mandates to achieve anything

how does this not violate freedom of association?

i guess b/c it's just a management body separate from the corporation itself and no real connection is necessary would be the argument

I would put an escort on the board for "marketing" purposes.

Gender is a social construct

We need gender requirements

Since it's California, I oppose their narrow-minded bifurcation of the fluid gender paradigm.

What about the other 70 something (or more) genders?

And how do they handle it if gender really is fluid and maybe the directors wake up male, at lunch they're female, back to male for the drive home, but female again for cocktail hour...

Me thinks this state law will run contrary to federal sex discrimination laws.
