There's no way this doesn't backfire in the long term. We're gonna see "yes women" added to boards which will discredit the women who are there for reasons other than to just check a box.

They'll also likely choose a woman they can walk all over to accomplish this end.

I feel like this will hit the supreme court like a lead balloon fortunately.

As opposed to now where all the members of a board are qualified unrelated men, not a bunch of cronies of one of the members.

I wonder when the rampant cronyism among male-dominoated boards will discredit the men who are on boards for reasons other than cronyism...

They will hire female cronies.
sometimes two wrongs can make a right but I don't think this will.
