As you know, I consider CA the most anti-business state in the union. They do it with intention and malice. This is one more piece of evidence of that truth.

Giving positions based on anything but merit will always end in disaster. Equality of outcome will be the end of first world country businesses.

Does the progressive Economist mean gender as male & female? Or you support the New Yorks 31 “genders”? If it is the latter it would be hard for companies to find enough “Cross-Dressers” or “Gender-Bender” to comply.

Not needed.

given the liberals have discovered about 30 "genders" which one takes precedent?

Why aren't they helping women get crappy jobs? Why only high-level ones? Men have to earn high-level jobs. They don't get help from the legal mafia. FemalePrivilege

Yes more women doing shitty jobs even men don't want.. sounds like a great plan

Horrible, tyrannical and sexist idea! It's sexist against men because some men will lose out because they're men. It's sexist against women because it implies women need help getting jobs. But apparently, people like sexism when the government does it. ??

The hypocrisy is perplexing, to prevent discrimination let's just mandate another "legit" form of discrimination. "Good progressive" move. Quantity before quality. Brilliant "beginning of the end" guess the ignoramus has to learn the hard & costly way. Dumbasses!!!

Woohoo, sandwiches all round! GenderEqualityWhenItSuits

This seems intolerably bias. Would a gay POC male with a physical disability be more or less likely to be promoted to the board than a straight female immigrant from a socially disadvantaged background?

will it be an even split between the 72 genders?

Are they mandated to be qualified? Who cares though right? ???? Fail USA

Hopefully this will destroy California's monopolies.

First these greedy feminists ask for diversity later they will falsely accuse innocent men to snatch their hard earned positive with witch hunt movement like MeToo . Men should understand their game plan.

Forced equality of outcome, let’s employ someone based on their genitalia and not their skills because we are like, super progressive.

Ah ha! Since gender is obviously a feeling, everyone can take it in turns to be the quota. This can extrapolate to race, creed and colour. Easy. Never contradict feelings!

Are you kidding me? It’s gonna be like fielding a co-ed softball team. When will the libs realize that social engineering is always a failure?

Guys, relax. Just claim you are a trans woman and they literally have no choice but to accept you. Otherwise they would be pulling a "double Hitler"

Super-excited for California to mandate gender diversity among street cleaners, university students, war dead etc.

you do not promote people based on gender. Corporates and any business for that matter require the best talent available and quotas based on gender is not the answer.
