Women don’t need big government’s help to climb the corporate ladder
Publicly-traded companies in California are now required to have a woman on their board of directors thanks to Gov. Jerry Brown, who signed a bill enacting the new mandate on in September. Although they intended to diversify corporate boardrooms, California legislators actually revealed that they believe adult women should be treated like helpless children. Ostensibly ‘feminist’ policies that give women an advantage based solely upon their gender will in fact undermine women’s equality. Women do not need hand-holding from the government to get ahead in their careers, and such legislation is counterproductive and patronising.
