Shouldn't we ask why this is only about boards and not employees, and why state and governments that issue laws like this don't lead by example and mandate gender diversity on themselves. Why is the scope so narrow defined as to exclude any criticism on how state and government operate as the largest group of organizations with paid employees. Seems very convenient from the position of power that government and states enjoy.
