California may mandate a woman in the boardroom, but businesses are fighting it (solution, Hispanic)

Companies moving out of Kalifornia will be good for Texas.

Are women in business just as capable as men or do they need help from the government to get to the board room? It can't be both.

I know places that have hired black women to cover two "minorities".

So, tokenism based on sex will now be promulgated under force of law in CA.

There was a time, long ago of course, where this would have been considered demeaning and patronizing to the intended beneficiary demographic.

Perhaps not so much now, I guess.

Simply forcing someone in to fill a government mandated quota is really short sighted. People should be inspired to work harder and smarter to earn that spot and not just have it handed to them because they were born as X.





What's next?

I'm a white guy and I'm not a racist but I find it troubling that white men are disproportionately represented on NBA and NFL teams.

Yeah, it seems like meritocracy is fine for sports, no one really bats an eye. Not sure why that can't be extended to life, it used to be.

Before all of this "equality of outcomes" nonsense that seems to be getting pushed that what is was, the best person got the spoils in whatever it was, sports, getting jobs, whatever it happened to be. I have no problem with equality of opportunity, but stop shoving this other BS down people's throats, especially for important fields of study like medicine, engineering, architecture, things where you know, you have to actually know what you're doing. Being the department head of the underwater basket weaving program at some liberal arts college, well, it's not so important if you're pushing the equality of outcomes agenda, now is it??

I suppose that hurts too many peoples feelers anymore to actually speak some basic known truths that in private most fair and rational people would tend to agree with, the SJW crowd, not so much.
