The bad times for super-feminists continues.
A Los Angeles judge has just ruled that the California law requiring women on corporate boards is unconstitutional.
Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis said the law that would have required boards have up to three female directors by this year violated the right to equal treatment. The ruling was dated Friday.
The conservative legal group Judicial Watch had challenged the law, claiming it was illegal to use taxpayer funds to enforce a law that violates the equal protection clause of the California Constitution by mandating a gender-based quota.
The 2018 law required publicly traded corporations based in California with five members on their boards to have at least one female member by the end of 2019. In response to the passage of the measure, Judicial Watch filed the gender quota lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, on behalf of California taxpayers, Robin Crest, Earl De Vries and Judy De Vries.

a) if you can’t define a woman you can’t mandate quotas of females.
b) your reproductive organs have very little to do with your ability to perform a job, unless the job involves your sexual organs (eh).
c) Yes there are differences between males and females, because hormones affect everything including the brain. But there’s enough variation between individuals that there’s a vast range.
d) Pick the most competent person for whatever the purpose is. Ignore external characteristics. Judge individuals as individuals.
e) Keep government out of our right of free association, whether it be in life, in business, or in anything at all.
The law can’t require it, but the Left WILL implement these policies through ESG ratings. This is a nice victory, but the war ain’t won.
Good. This quota nonsense is stupid and destructive.
Of,course it’s u co situational because the left can’t even define what a woman is, so how can they pass laws “protecting women”, or “benefitting women”?
Feminists wanted equal status, now,they have got it, and they ain’t gonna like it. No special status for womenz, especially in ought of the fsct that the left dont even know,what a woman is.
Funny thouhg that no women “Transition” to men and seriously compete in men’s sports. (Some try, but they aren’t a serious competition in most sports)
Can the left define what a man is?
Wonder how many more corporations this policy drove out of California.
How will that work, if they can't even begin to think about what constitutes a "woman" without consulting a biologist?

“The law can’t require it, but the Left WILL implement these policies through ESG ratings. This is a nice victory, but the war ain’t won.”
You’re right. These termites never give up!
Probably few.
You just designate a board member as the token female, without regard to their actual sex. Give them a small stipend for the title, and be done with it.
Here's a timely example of that...

This was done when quotas and AA were being heavily enforced. White contractors would use their wives as the head of the company when bidding on jobs - they knew a woman had a far better chance of landing contracts than they did.
I’d forgotten about the guys who did that and then lost their business to their wife.
