    California Has a New Law: No More All-Male Boards

    Companies headquartered in California can no longer have all-male boards. From a report:That's according to a new law, enacted Sunday, which requires publicly traded firms in the state to place at least one woman on their board of directors by the end of 2019 -- or face a penalty. It also requires companies with five directors to add two women by the end of 2021, and companies with six or more directors to add at least three more women by the end of the same year. It's the first such law on the books in the United States, though similar measures are common in European countries. The measure was passed by California's state legislature last month. And it was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday, along with a trove of other bills that look to "protect and support women, children and working families," the governor's office said in a release. A majority of companies in the S&P 500 have at least one woman on their boards, but only about a quarter have more than two, according to a study from PwC.

    What if all the males identify as women? As long as the law cites the proper pronouns I'm ok with this

    Then that will count as an all woman board.

    Technically an all tranny board but I'm not splitting hairs. At least California is fighting for our nation's oppressed women and those who identify as oppressed women.

    Yes you are splitting hairs.

    You are also wrong.

    Technically it would be an all-female board under the law.

    California is a disgrace to the country.

    Old: Discrimination is bad.
    New: Government enforced discrimination is good.

    This idiocy happens because the left likes to pretend men and women are the same. So they moronically look at population portion and compare that to representation in "x" and then jump to the default conclusion of discrimination. Idiots.

    If government enforced discrimination doesn't bother you then you have problems.

    I mean chris and the likes are generally re ed, but ill have to side with them on thid one.

    White Females are already the most privilaged individuals and its not like there is a rule preventing them from becoming board members. They're usually just not qualified.

    Its really just expense for most of these companies.

    This should just mean more businesses will build their headquarters in other states, like Texas. I see this as a good thing. Maybe next they will decide that their highest paid athletes must be females.

    Doubtful, unless there's really that much of a talent gap between the genders.

    I don't think a law is necessary here but when less than 20% of board members nationally are women, there's more at play than specific qualifications. Men in positions of power typically prefer to be surrounded by other men when business is being discussed (unless there's an admin taking notes.) It's not conscious sexism most of the time, but there is a culture preference and those with control will tend to maintain that culture. In most industries it's hard to deny that the very personality types and professional approaches expected of men in leadership positions tend to be limiting for females.
