This makes no sense.

So a company that has a target market of men must have a woman on the board? So an all woman board will be legal?

How female is female enough for them? Can someone just identify as a woman, or will there be a mandatory screening of what's between their legs (or what their DNA has)?

I predict the outcome will just be companies will move headquarters to another state (already happening because of taxes!) and/or the company will go private.

Take a look at companies whose target customers are all women. Are you surprised to see a man on their board?

Are you surprised if they don't? Should they be required to?

I actually agree with your point. I would mostly be surprised to see a man on their board. I also wouldnt expect legislation to require a man on their board.

However, the discussion also brings up the idea that a woman (and any other gender of person) could have expertise of value to that board despite their differing genderedness . The idea is like "You dont have to have cancer to be an oncologist" .

Still the idea of requiring it bothers me. I would have expected other forces to handle this situation instead of men w/ guns.
