    The bigoted leftist losing streak continues. This is a win for everyone that believes in equal treatment under the law. It was also so painfully predictable that I'm a little surprised the progressives even bothered to try it. Feels a bit like they're just phoning it in these days.

    How is it the lawyers for the state didn’t see this coming before the law was passed? They should be fired for incompetence.

    Perhaps Newsom is not familiar with the constitution! If he did get his way, any corp that didn't have a female would just draw straws to see who will identify as a female. "Sorry Fred, I mean Frieda!"

    Well think about it! The DNC very existence is that of slight of hand and covert, un-American wins and losses! They will attempt anything and everything that weakens freedoms, choices and in this case equality!

    It's not the big issues that will eventually lead us to totalitarianism and absolutism. That will come from decades of small tiny nudges, some will be defeated and some will slip thru the mire of bullshit overload, and in the end they will like a thief in the night relieve us all of what our forefathers fought and died to make us unique from all other countries and what people around the world risk everything to be part of..

    Shame, migrants embracing what Americans are ashamed of and willing to surrender :roll:

    They passed the law for the same reason jihadists blow themselves up in pursuit of 72 virgins: wokeism is a CULT.

    Hopefully any judge would strike down law requiring that men equally wash dishes and change diapers. What business is it of the government's? Take your lives back - don't let the government completely control you.

    Not only that but this law was ridiculous, since it allowed boards to appoint a transgender in place of a woman.
    Board members could have just thrown on a dress and put on lipstick to meet the requirements of this law.

    Can you imagine that?
    "Alright Bob, this week it's your turn to dress up as the woman"

    Or maybe they would have pulled straws to see which one of them had to be the "transgender" one.

    Women deserve to be on boards but the law is not really the proper way to get them there.

    I believe it was unconstitutional for Biden to nominate based on gender and race as well. This lawsuit should go deeper than just California law.

    An proper ruling thank you Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis. The law was blatantly and entirely discriminatory and reeked of misandry.

    Yep

    (1) “Female” means an individual who self-identifies her gender as a woman, without regard to the individual’s designated sex at birth.

    So let's look at this

    "State Senate leader Toni Atkins, a Democrat from San Diego, said the ruling was disappointing and a reminder “that sometimes our legalities don’t match our realities.”

    “More women on corporate boards means better decisions and businesses that outperform the competition,” Atkins said in a statement. “We believe this law remains important, despite the disheartening ruling.”"

    So she is saying women make better decisions than men and are better at running businesses? WOW. That's pretty misandrist and that men pretending to be women get this additional better decision making ability and business management skills is REALLY stretching the limits of reality here.

    related old thread: Perhaps this is why men earn more than women

    In Norway, when the law suddenly required that 40 percent of a company's board of directors be women, there were not enough qualified women available, so the small number of qualified women suddenly found themselves with positions on multiple boards, earning extremely high incomes, even though they could not possibly be fully fullfilling their responsibilities on so many of these boards. For example, one single business woman, Mimi Berdal, sat on the board of 40 different companies at the same time!

    from The Economist:

    The evidence from Norway, the first European country to impose strict quotas, suggests that compulsion has been bad for business. Norwegian boards, which were 9% female in 2003, were ordered to become 40% female within five years. Many reached that target by window-dressing. The proportion of board members in Norway who are female is nearly three times greater than the proportion of executive directors.

    To obey the law, Norwegian firms promoted many women who were less experienced than the directors they had before. These new hires appear to have done a poor job. A study by Amy Dittmar and Kenneth Ahern of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan found that firms that were forced to increase the share of women on their boards by more than ten percentage points saw one measure of corporate value (the ratio of market capitalisation to the replacement value of assets, known as Tobin's Q) fall by 18%.​

    If they deserve it, they will have to work for it.
    Many women take a break off from their careers because, you know, that motherhood thing. Either that or many career women feel aimless and want to switch to doing something else that they feel passionate about. Which is fine, but they shouldn't wonder why they never became the CEO of the company.

    Unfortunately many full-time career women just become embittered in life. There are cultural expectations that men have for women they are romantically with, that they be gentle and nice, which is often not very practicably possible when the woman is under the stress of a full time corporate career. So these women often get rejected, or their marriages do not last long. I know of one single corporate career woman, very financially successful, rose high in the company, had a son, but because she was working all the time, working hours late into the evening, she was never be able to have a presence in her child's life and he went off and became a drug addict and practically ruined his life.

    Modern-day feminism tells women "they can have it all", but that often isn't very practically possible.

    Whaaaat you mean hiring affirmative actions hires results in less qualified employees and pisspoor business decisions?
