"God help us if we ever give 'em the vote". - Rooster Cogburn

[right way right]

Imagine just being a token.
Women should be nothing less than offended by this.

[palmer]

“perma-smile actresses whose only qualifications seem to be their phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks.”

Whoops wrong thread.

[Rurudyne]

I know I’ll never own a boat I can really cruise in, but being able to sail from the last place to get gas before entering Mexican waters all the way to Washington without setting foot on land puts cruising Alaskan waters even farther from Texas.

TRENDING!:......#IdiotsToo

[lastchance]

Good luck with that California.

[Brilliant]

Will be interesting to see how well that works.

[User900]

This is straight up communist totalitarianism dictating what the makeup of private company boards have to be.

Next they’ll be dictating what color clothing they must or must not wear according to the Kalifornia politburo.

[NoLibZone]

Next up:

one Black, one Hispanic, one homosexual, one transgender, one Asia, one handicapped....

[Mr.Unique]

How is this even remotely Constitutional?

[BeauBo]

Incorporate in another State.

Open a small “Headquarters” there.

Begin planning the rest of your company’s move, while there are still greater fools to buy your old properties.

California’s reaching into the shorts of corporate officers is not the end of their assault on freedom and private ownership. It is only foreplay.

[ecomcon]

Communism

[taxcontrol]

Unconstitutional as it violates the 1st Amendment freedom to assemble clause.

[thecodont]

Stupid idea.

[Defiant]

No big companies will incorporate in California, that’s the only result of this law. Way to go, commies.

[onedoug]

What about black nationalists, homosexuals, islamists, transgendered?... Why are they not included?

[cableguymn]

* humans that identify as women.

[prophetic]

Wow, so having the right genitalia is now reasons for automatic promotion to the board of directors.

Oh stupid me! And for all my life I was thinking it was about studying, hard working & sacrifice to the job, loyalty, itegrity and those other buzzwords would get me promoted eventually.

[ThunderSleeps]

Why stop at just women? Why not come up with the ideal demographic mix for your utopian society, then require these percentages on the boards? Wait, why stop with corporate boards? Apply these everywhere! I can see it now... "Sorry Mr. Thunder, but our neighborhood needs another gray Buddhist. So you'll either have to move or convert and start ..."

And yes liberal lurkers, this law is exactly that ludicrous. In a few years, when CA based businesses are struggling, even failing - this is why. This kind of feel good BS. Guess what, the real world isn't about fairness or your ideals. The real world cares about results. And when you start putting people in positions just to check a box, rather than based on merit... Well, someone else will come along and surpass you, easily.

[GOP Poet]

As a woman this makes me sick. I've always been a leader and often the female boss bossing around the guys (usually twice my size lol and running the big show).

Anything I receive in this world I've earned on my own thank you very much.

Corporate America is cut throat no doubt. But it is for everyone that wants power. Women--nor any specific race--need charity at the top thank you very much. If we're there we've earned it (until you liberals MADE people take us).

This is an insult and doesn't bode well for respect for an earned seat or anything other that a label of 'token' female in the future.

[Thud]

We clearly need a law stating that each corporate board include at least one ex-member of the California legislature.
