California Has a New Law: No More All-Male Boards (cnn.com)
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.
Right, because everyone begins their adult life from the exact same starting line, and all existing institutions are perfect as is. I been hip-mo-tized by Fox News.
I deny that I have not avoided attaining the opposite of that which I do not want.
It's only a matter of time before the same SJW
Well thanks for demonstrating u're incapable of rational thought. ...will demand laws because...
ah yes, that happened in other countries which passed similar laws, like Germany and Norway. Funnily enough I can't find any links that it happened. But since you are so sure it's an inevitable conseqence, I'm sure they exist and you'll fill your reply with evidence.
But I forget: you're the kind of person who thinks "SJW" is a thing. That means in your mind a bunch of anti-SJW howling about something that happened in their heads is the same as it actually happening. Being nuable to find any evidence of it happening is immaterial to you.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
Hehe.. In these "define your own gender" times.. you can just make up a new gender for yourself and then get yourself on any board you wish.. ROTFLMAO!
I'm an attack helicopter, and I'm just waiting for the new law requiring at least one attack helicopter on boards. In case anyone from Apple, Intel or Google/Alphabet is reading this, PM me, my rates are very reasonable.
