It’s not because they are women, it’s because they are (rightfully?) judged as less than optimum choices for their roles.

“If anyone is biased, it is the market,”Obviously, government needs to protect investors from themselves by requiring them to invest in a gender-blind manner.

Yeah, investors suddenly no longer care about the ONE THING that they care about on account of their own sexisim. Right. Got it.

Just wait till the Gov demands that every board room has to have a Midget/ little person in a director position as well..

The former CEO of Hewlett Packard is a poster girl for this sort of thing. Back in the old days when I owned so few stocks that I actually paid attention to shareholder election materials, I would vote against celebrity type board members who seemed to have little or no stake in the company's success. Not because they were women (though many were) but because they drew salaries far out of proportion to what they contributed.
A high salaried board member who own few or no shares of the company's stock does not give me the shareholder a warm and fuzzy feeling. It is as simple as that.

I’ll know Leftists actually care about fairness when they institute redneck quotas at the C and D level...

On a tangent issue....
Green portfolios in Blue State Pensions are lagging a full 100 basis points in performance. I got to see a group of investment gurus on a panel being reported on by Bloomberg and they were all singing from the Global Warming Choir, as they try to drag everyone ( specifically Utilities ) into this maddness. Talk about destroying one of the consistent hidden gems. What gets me the most is these are supposed to be the vaulted annointed ones, and they can't see it is a hoax....

One place where some freedom still exists, choosing where to invest. Investors are keenly aware that political correctness doesn’t guarantee financial returns.

Investors won't mind if a woman is added to a board because of her knowledge and experience, but they will if she is hired to meet a quota. That is quite sensible.
The person hired to meet a quota may surprise you by being competent but the odds are not favorable.
