During the age of Trump?

Why is CNN so sexist?

Hopefuly we can get to 💯 percent soon and totally eliminate all white men from the earth

Thank you President Trump!

Feminism I ruining western Europe, hopefully we wake up and it doesn't happen in USA

It’s not about the Gender you sexists! It’s about performance! Typical liberals and their terms of division called diversity.

And?

Who cares, the gender of a CEO, I only care if they are good at their job.

Just what I'd be worried about as our birth rates decline...how many women we can churn into corporate slaves. Ever wonder why this generation loves illegals? Much like abortion it frees up human capital, but at what cost?

Asong thos women dont suffer TDS the world is safe.

And we here are currently being sued for RACISM. BeIntheknow

At one time women were not allowed to vote...now they are the voting majority. The same may happen with women CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies. Let time take it’s course and unfold on merit not through pressure.

So, only 6.6% of all CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are women? As a Progressive guy, I'm as big of a supporter of women CEOs as any feminist is. But, shouldn't competence determine who a CEO should be and not just choosing those who possess vaginas? Don't miss my point here, OK?

Yeah, but men and women are the same so it's really a pointless statistic.

What idiotism... CEO is selected bases on his skills and previous records...no one cares is it man or woman, how it is good and how money will germ.that is important, and there is also fields where womans are 70-80‰ percent but you don't point that..

MAGA?

Who is the CEO of CNN?

Such a proud moment..., I think they deserve more than the equal respect... Fortune500 womenoftoday WomenRights

...another win under realDonaldTrump's watch.

According to everything you have told us for the last couple of years, how was that possible in Trump's America?

💪🏽🇺🇸

Liberals just a friendly reminder! With the exception of hermaphrodities, you can identify yourselves as whatever you want but you can’t change whether you’re born male or female! You can’t make that choice, biology does!!!
