Democrats bigots at heart

The formerly great state of California passed a bill that mandates, under threat of massive fines, that every company with a board of directors have at least two women on their board of directors if they have 5 directors or 3 if they have seven directors by the end of 2021.

By establishing gender quotas the Democrats show that they are bigoted just as they would if they'd required that every board have a male member.  Notice that there is no requirement for all boards to have a minimum number of men.

They've established that they're sexist because they're saying that women aren't capable of making it to such an exalted position on their own.

Clearly women can succeed since 75% of the companies in the Russell 3000 stock index in California already have women on the board.

As per the usual lack of leftist logic they proclaim that 25% of companies not having a woman on the board means that there is an insurmountable obstacle for women.  Honest and rational people would reason that if 75% of companies have women on their board of directors there is clearly no systemic bias against women.  After all to be on the board of directors a person has to have relevant experience in the companies line of business. But we know that there are many areas where either men or women dominate the profession.  For example there are very few female auto mechanics and very few male elementary school teachers.  Which means that if a company is involved in auto repair the pool of qualified women will be much smaller than if a company's business is with public schools.  Hence we should expect there should be some all men's boards and some all women's boards.

A great example of this is that the YWCA has an all woman board of directors. Under this new California law that's fine but the YMCA would have to have a certain number of female members if it were publicly traded.

That's the definition of sexism. But the left supports it.

Good news though there's a loophole in the law.  If a man says he identifies as a woman he counts as a woman under the new California law.  Given that there is no need for the man to dress, live, or act as a woman or be identified as being transgendered by a doctor all companies need to do is have a couple of their board members declare that they self identify as women and they can avoid the fines.
