Sounds like direct discrimination against men to me.

A good “affirmative action” case that a Supreme Court with Kavanaugh on board can knock down as obviously unconstitutional.

[Sacajaweau]

Individuals in a BOD position have no authority by themselves.

I can't believe this is legal.

[KosmicKitty]

Forcing companies to hire someone in’t breaking any glass ceilings.

I guess the gay gene also make you stupid.

I’d bring in the hispanic, non English-speaking, night maid, give her cookies, tea, and a magazine, and then get on with business.

[mewzilla]

I’d find the best people I could, and if they all happen to be guys, so be it. Then we’d stand at the table in the boardroom and draw straws to see who gets to self-identify as a chick.

Bwah hah hah hah hah...

[tflabo]

More godless puke from the Molden State.

[cuban leaf]

Unconstitutional. Sexist.

[miss marmelstein]

They’ll live to regret it, hee-hee.

[a fool in paradise]

apparently this will be used to force all corporations to have a homofascist on the board as well, which is what has ushered in the current state of corporate liberalism and “moral” training that HR forces on employees.

There is all-chick leadership some places, will that be challenged to break the glass ceiling too?

[Candor7]

So much for the balance of Yin and Yang. California is now evolving to become a genuine Gynocracy. The Gynocrats are in full power ranger PMS mode.

I can hardly wait to see the outcome of the exercise of power by the Gynocrats boards. I am sure they will observe due process and the Constitution in exercising their liberal fascist defamation and castration policies.

Gynocrats of the World UNITE! /S

Under what authority?

[Redwood71]

This could get interesting. All a company has to do is create an executive board of all inside members to get around it.

An inside director is a member, who has the interest of major shareholders, officers, and employees in mind, and whose experience within the company adds value. An insider director is not typically compensated for board activity as they are often already a C-level executive, major shareholder, or other stakeholder, such as a union representative.

So if they wish to fill this position for the same or no pay depending on what they are and not who, along with being expected to work their job so they can feed themselves, then the line forms at the door. I suspect when the possibles that can afford it try, they will be into the board based upon their stock share and have little say in the proceedings. Now, wasn’t that an achievement?

Will this cause even more corporations to avoid California? What's next? Legally mandated participation of minorities, gender, sexual preferences, ethnic backgrounds? Lets put in a few former drug addicts and felons while at it! How about making it illegal for anyone who at any point of their life was so much as accused of making a woman feel uncomfortable be banned?

Name one civilization in history that's gone totally insane and survived.

[sphinx]

The vast majority of companies, and all the large ones, will already have women on the board. The issue here is the State of California asserting the right to dictate the composition of corporate boards. Once the principle is established, there will be no end to it. And we will march on to Quota America with everything based on left wing identity politics hierarchies.

[bk1000]

So does it count if a board member “identifies” as a woman? This will all crash down around them.

[FoxInSocks]

Corporations will be more profitable.

I fail to see how that follows. Regardless of what mental gymnastics you perform, it’s not at all logical.

[tje]

What about the other 62 genders?

[jughandle]

So they’re countering what they see as discrimination with....discrimination.
