    Unimportant. Another affirmative action for the sake of looking good on the books.

    An overvelming number of Muslims believe so. Is your beef with them?

    Male fantasies, otherwise known as dreams or aspirations are a necessary component of success of any male or female. You don’t have any of these? :eek:

    Not going to happen for some time.

    The next Gov. of California will be Gavin Newsome. He will be piloting the Thunderbird from Thelma and Louise.

    But think about California, and the Progressives running it, especially in light of the identity politics they operate by...

    Gavin Newsome, the man who was caught F'ing the wife of his best friend and SF Mayoral re-election campaign manager.

    Certainly a man of integrity and honesty. And they are going to elect him Governor.

    That is disconcerting, to say the least.

    Service on a board of directors is a part time activity. Directors attend occasional board meetings and provide advice to management. It doesn't interfere with their normal career path.

    That only is assuming women are less qualified in general.

    Because the men are still able to take by far most of the seats on the board.

    I don't see how that is possible when by far most seats can still be taken by the men,... like they have done so in the passed.

    Simple solution... Have the men identify as women and fill the quotas accordingly. There, now there are enough women on the board. Ta da.

    No. If a woman is hired and there was a man with better qualifications who was rejected, that's discrimination.

    Discrimination is an act, not an end result.

    When as good as all members of the board are as good as always male, means women are being discriminated. You're not going to convince anybody with the idea that males are superior to women. And hence,... this law.

    Then audit their hiring practices. Don't make laws that discriminate to counter that. Such idiocy!

    Actually, as the article says, 3/4ths of the California corporations already have women on the board.

    This law ensures that there will be discrimination. BY DESIGN!

    We tried your plan, and it ends up that the old mens club refuses to allow women in such a way that we need a law that they must allow at least 1.

    No one says males are generally superior to women. But an individual male could be better than an individual woman.

    If you've got a male with an outstanding resume against against a woman with a mediocre resume, and they select the woman, that's discrimination.
