I don't think so, as more men tend to choose an education that paves an easier path to acquiring a board position. This is not because women are less capable, but because they somehow feel less attracted to this field of work. This of course also has to do with our parents, media and other surroundings teaching us about gender roles and such. It's only since a few years that for example technical studies try to attract more women, as these were before considered 'a man's thing'. It's going to take a few generations for all of this to 'even out' and then we might see 50/50, but it could also result in 70/30 or 30/70, if it turns out that in a gender-neutral unbringing, one gender might be more capable of leadership than another.

To me the answer is not gender neutral upbringing, but rather emphasizing that everyone has the dame potential to achieve and make the tools available to everyone. Let's say instead of gender differences, we had people with different physics handicaps, we wouldn't pretend there aren't handicaps, ache same time we would not steer people but rather provide them all with the same opportunities and not encourage or discourage because of a particular handicap. Let the people, children, figure out what works and doesn't work for them, given their abilities and handicaps. The biggest problem I see is people steering or lowlighting certain paths because of some preconceptions --a deaf person can't sing well, instead let them prove they can't sing, or that they can sing, regardless of hearing.

  the dame potential That sounds rather sexist lol :p j/k instead of gender differences, we had people with different physics [sic] handicaps That might be considered rather insulting. Having a penis, vagina, or whatever linear combination of the above isn't really comparable to being handicapped.
