You think there wouldn't be a NEW problem if the boards became all female?
Then we'd have a militant pro-"equity"(and, as we see from the lobbies, equity
doesn't mean equitable _at this time_, it includes all of history, so there has
to be a HUGE female surplus for a time to counter-act the years when males were
all the businessmen/workers(because, for one, women did not WANT to do this
kind of work when the men of old were properly respectful of them in the
homes, as leaders of the households)
Let's look back: at one time "working outside the home" entailed 12-16 hour
days of hard labour. What self-respecting woman, who held a trump card(in that
only SHE could carry a child), would WANT to trade in a leadership position in
the home for the competitive ratrace outside the home?
Your servant,
