Should businesses be required to have women on their board of directors?

No

Yes

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

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

Yes, but only for large international corporations

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.”

Yes, in proportion to number of women employees.

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.

No, the board of directors should be elected by the workers, and it's up to them how many women they put in it

Too many people on the left claim that we on the right are somehow sexist. Let me disprove that. Per Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s logic, I believe that if someone is qualified for the job, then the job should be theirs, regardless of gender. The ones who are actually sexist are the ones who decided to make gender an issue in the first place!

Yes, but only if they're actually qualified

The most qualified members should be chosen by non-partisan groups that can fairly judge.

yes, because somehow women are good and give good advice.

If women want to be on their board of directors then they can, I wouldn't say it should be required because it makes it sound like they have to be on the board of directors, when they don't to be.

Yes if qualified and they should seek out females who are qualified

No, but there should be an incentive. So for example, project awards may have a scoring matrix that includes diversity metrics

Businesses should be in the shape of a meritocracy, and their employee diversity should not be based simply off of their identities but rather their abilities and qualifications.

No, the board of directors should be made up of elected workers of the company.

yes, but only if businesses have women as part of their workforce in the first place

how would one force this? this one is impractical. should they have them? yes. but how do you make that?

They can have anybody they want, no matter what their race, or gender is.

The person best for the job should get the job regardless of race or gender

I would say no they should not be required to, but they should look into hiring qualified female candidates.

No but business should try to broaden perspectives and various people and views

I think all boards of directors should be outlawed and replaced by direct employee ownership

The gender should not matter. If someone earned their way to be on the board of directors, it should never matter what their gender, ethnicity, religion, etc., is. Everyone that desires to be given a chance if they are attempting to be on the board of directors. Women, men, and all colored people should not be added to the board just because of what their gender identity or physical characteristics are.

It shouldnt be required but it should be respected if that women deserves that spot give it to her.

Sexual inequality cant be solved through government intervention, it requires cultural change.

There are many qualified women in the working world, it shouldnt be hard to find one. But there shouldnt be a quota just to have 'diversity' thats stupid and companies should already be hiring a diverse scope of people. If the board is just a large collection of old white dudes then they should go look for new hires .

Yes, but only if they have the same level of qualities in their resume

No, but there should be opportunities and incentives for such.

yes because I am sure that there are qualified woman

Create a society where different perspectives are respected and coveted for the best outcome.

I think businesses should have women on their board of directors because the women are qualified and not because they are trying to get more women on the board.

No, don't force quotas but in general penalize businesses which consistently discriminate against women

Highest qualified and diversity

No, board member should be the most qualified, but must take unconscious bias training, and the people hiring to those positions need to be independent, and the resume review not include names/birthdates

Yes, as long as they qualified

Yes, but only if they are qualified for the position. It shouldn't be given only because of a gender.

Yes, if they are qualified. More effort should be taken to diversify board of directors.

A rare instance of my supporting Vice President Kamala Harris' plan: put the legal burden on businesses to demonstrate nondiscriminatory practices in hiring, pay, promotions, etc.

While the option, “No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender” sounds good in theory; in practice, this doesn’t hold true. Thus, action is required despite the goal being no action required

No but companies should

The government should help to make a more equitable society where women have the option to serve in higher level positions easier.

Yes, but businesses shouldn't exist in the first place

No, but businesses should be mandated to treat all genders equally so women have equal opportunities to be on the board of directors.

Yes, if they contract with the government.
