No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender

 @9FLTH78 from Utah agreed…6mos6MO

If a woman is more qualified or more educated in matters that will benefit the company than a man then she should be allowed to be a board member and vice versa. All that matters is that the board is running the company in the best way possible.

 @9FTZBZ4 from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

If a man and a woman have the same qualifications for a position then it should be based in effectiveness or ingenuity or determination, race and gender should never be factors in achievement based positions. If the woman is qualified then she will earn the position, if she is not then the company is all the better for it as it will be under a more skilled and qualified leader who just so happens to be a man.

 @9GKPQKQLibertarian from Florida agreed…5mos5MO

If women truly got paid less than men, corporations would hire more women to increase profit. Women are "paid less," because they aren't working as high paying job, they aren't working the same amount of hours, or they are capable to do the same type of jobs as men physically.

 @9GK66ZSLibertarian from Wisconsin agreed…5mos5MO

Gender and Race are irrelevant to a humans potential. If someone is shown to be competent in that particular field, their Gender or race should not matter.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No

 @9F8TH93 from Ohio agreed…7mos7MO

women represent 58.3% of the U.S. workforce, while men represent 41.7%. Working Asian women are more likely to work in management, professional, and other related executive positions than women of other races and ethnicity.

 @9F758BWLibertarian from Illinois disagreed…7mos7MO

It may discriminate towards people who may be just as if not more qualified.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

No, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, and the government should do more to require diversity in the workplace

 @9F5XWHK from Pennsylvania disagreed…7mos7MO

People of color or people that say they are of different genders than male should not be viewed as a better higher than people that are white or male purely based off of their race or gender because that is immoral, racist, and sexist.

 @9FG3DKVRepublican from North Carolina disagreed…6mos6MO

The workplace can hire whoever they want and who best fits the job and if they decide that the people who best fit the position end up being all white men then that is who they should hire.

 @9FLTH78 from Utah disagreed…6mos6MO

I don't think the government should "require" anything though I think they should heavily encourage diversity.

 @9F8TH93 from Ohio disagreed…7mos7MO

The issue with gender diversity or racial diversity is that it favors only the people who fit the quota and nothing else. They should hire the people who are the best in their field instead of being required to hire a person who cannot do their job correctly.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8yrs8Y

Yes, but only for large international corporations

 @9FTZBZ4 from Texas disagreed…6mos6MO

A persons gender should not be a factor in if they receive a position in a company. It should go to the most qualified person, if it happens to be a woman than that is great, but forced diversity rarely leads to success.

 @9FNW66MProgressive from Illinois disagreed…6mos6MO

Women are more than capable of getting there without the requirement being there. If policy like that is put in place only for women it gives men and people who look down upon women an easy argument to diminish women's ability to get there.

 @8HJPJB7 from Colorado answered…3yrs3Y

Have people on the board that are qualified regardless of gender or race. Gender should not be a contributing factor

 @erikb9from New York answered…3yrs3Y

No. Let them choose the gender mix (or lack thereof), let them reveal the degree of commitment to diversity, so that potential customers and clients can choose whether or not to do business with them accordingly.

 @92RB63W from Kentucky answered…2yrs2Y

Hire the most qualified candidates, but have blind interviews or blind applications. Remove any indication of biases such as name, race, gender. relevant experience and qualifications on a resume are all that should be required. When people say “hire the most qualified candidate” it’s a dog whistle that usually means, “don’t change the way applications and interviews are done because then it won’t inherently benefit the white male like me.”

 @5BHYRNZfrom California answered…3yrs3Y

Only men should be allowed as board members.

 @8PCT9HB from Washington commented…3yrs3Y

Where is the argument here? Studies have shown women and men being near identical in levels of intelligence, and women are able to accomplish just as much as men are. Don't try to "discuss" a topic you clearly haven't educated yourself on with zero back up argument or evidence.

board members should be the most qualified regardless of what their gender or sex is.

 @ZealousL3ftLeaningGreen from California disagreed…8mos8MO

I completely understand where you're coming from - qualifications should indeed be paramount. However, the issue lies in the fact that women, despite being equally qualified, are often overlooked for board positions. For instance, a study by Harvard Business Review found that women are less likely to be considered for board positions, even when they have the same qualifications as men. This suggests that biases, even if unconscious, are at play. If requirements were put in place, it could correct this imbalance.

 @8KZ4TKQ from Connecticut answered…3yrs3Y

No, it all depends on what the member can bring to the business. Gender should not have any significant meaning

 @alednickyfrom Maine answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, because board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender. By requiring women on boards they have to actually consider them as candidates for the position instead of glossing over them. Chances are that they'll find a suitable candidate to fill that board position

I hope for more women to be in the higher offices but may the best candiate win that job.

Attempts at diversifying the oppressor class is ultimately useless and essentially woke fascism. We should start a violent revolution against the capitalist status quo instead.

 @94K59S3Communistfrom Texas answered…2yrs2Y

The board of directors should be directly elected by the workers, the number of women they elect is up to them

 @94HJJJTWomen’s Equality from California answered…2yrs2Y

we shouldn't have to require women to be on a board of directors, but women also shouldn't be discriminated against

 @95CY9ZG from Texas answered…2yrs2Y

no, businesses should be owned by the workers so the workers control who is on the board of directors

 @8JDB9XPWomen’s Equality from New York answered…3yrs3Y

the best qualifiers should be picked to be on the board, without discrim

 @8LDMT6B from Florida answered…3yrs3Y

You put a women in a job because of her qualifications, not because of her gender.

 @9C95G2Pfrom Pennsylvania answered…10mos10MO

No, women should marry and stay home with the children. Only men should work.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…10mos10MO

 @957BTS4 from Maryland answered…2yrs2Y

No, women should not be in the workplace

  @JonBSimConstitutionfrom Kentucky disagreed…2yrs2Y

No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender

women should not be in the workplace

Not all women can/should be homemakers.

 @8LVKYMW from Ohio answered…3yrs3Y

Board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender. This being said I do still agree at least for big corporations that there should be some required diversity of members.

 @99PQCBN from Oklahoma answered…1yr1Y

I think that it would be fair to have women instead of men but some jobs are specially for men and specially for women.

 @95B6VWF from Iowa answered…2yrs2Y

No, but when picking who is going to be on the board, they should make all applications anonymous (no name, gender, race, ethnicity). This would ensure that everyone is picked purley from their qualifications.
