...then he forces that robot onto some hapless girl who doesn't give a shit about it and could well become the next Nobel prize laureate in medicine because that's what she'd actually be interested in, but she MUST be pushed into STEM.
You know the kind, you remember them from school, they knew how to do everything better than everyone else but when they actually tried to do it, they routinely failed but they never ever slowed them down from telling everyone how to do it properly.
It's made of catskin. Proof: Anyone who ever had a cat knows that any amount of heat can easily be absorbed by a cat. Cat thermodynamics also mandate that heat always flows from the warmer body to the cooler body, except in the presence of a cat body whereas all warmth flows to this.
Then the problem is not one of gender but of cronyism. Because not being part of the "in-circle" means you will not have a shot at a board position, independent of your gender.
No, of course it wasn't. But up to this point, a woman on a board was someone you'd WANT on your board because you knew that she made it despite all odds against her.
Now, a woman on a board is the token bitch. No matter whether she fought tooth and nail to get there and deserves that position.
Replacing one bogus metric with another is going to accomplish what exactly? You don't really think that this will allow women to become part of the "good old boys" network, do you? All we're really going to see is the woman who has to go fetch the coffee for the men gets paid more, else, same shit as today.
Not only that, but it promotes sexism. Any woman that now manages to get on the board will be dismissed as the "token bitch", even if she rightfully has that position due to qualification and hard work.
May I introduce our board? This is the CEO, you'll do the negotiation with him. The other goons back there are the token black guy, token woman, token genderfluid, token nonchristian, token..., don't bother talking to them, they have no idea what we're doing here, they were just the cheapest idiots we could hire for the job.
So every woman from now on that actually manages to climb the corporate ladder and punch through the glass ceiling will be dismissed as the "quota bitch". Great work, feminists, turn your own movement of empowerment where women were supposed to become self-confident and self-reliant into a social program that reeks more like a hand-up for handicapped people who can't accomplish anything themselves.
I can also easily give you a 50% discount if I first triple the price. In other words, it's kinda easy to lose the most weight in your Weight Watchers group if you got the fattest ass to begin with.
Two planets meet. "Dude, you look terrible, what's bugging you?" "Man, it's horrible, I got a bad case of homo sapiens." "Ah. I had that too. Don't worry. It will pass."

What? SJW and climate stories get more eyeballs than some lame, on-topic, tech-related story.
The editors know who their masters are and sing their songs, the system works.

At my school, we called them "teacher".
Have you tried filing for an international patent? I mean, as someone ordinary, not someone richer than some corporations combined?

Give people a pre defined list of options and let them choose from. Have contingency plans for every option they can choose.
Can we have at least ONE /. story that doesn't descend into politics?
Then I guess we'd see more women without kids on boards.
Making a cup of tea from energy requires quite a lot of energy!
Is this a verdict or accusation?

I'm fairly sure that some CEO secretaries will be promoted to "director for coffee making" with the express job of "sit there and shut up".

Is that also the part of the story that makes sense?
Very, very carefully.
Actually, in the EU bribing politicians is illegal. You should try it, it actually works.
Capitalism is a bit like the lottery. Anyone can win. Just not everyone.
Do you know where the data you had 14 years ago is? Every single HD you ever owned, every single CD you ever burned? Can the hysteria, please.
I always hack naked. When you abuse someone, you can as well do it right.

Yes, come over to the dark side. We have Air Conditioning.
