Gender diversity an alien concept to tech start-ups

At Pinterest, the online bulletin board service that is valued near $3.8 billion, some 70 percent of the users are female. But the company's board of directors is 100 percent male.

It's not that startups don't like women. They just want the best person for the job.

Oooh, this thread has potential.

Are their any successful businesses/companies out there that has a board where the majority are female?

 

[Noseworthy]

imho pintrest is generally speaking targeted at females, how can the board of directors be male?

Oooh, this thread has potential.

I'll start.

Girls are dumb.

Sex differences in central tendency, variability, and numbers of high scores on mental tests have been extensively studied. Research has not always seemed to yield consistent results, partly because most studies have not used representative samples of national populations. An analysis of mental test scores from six studies that used national probability samples provided evidence that although average sex differences have been generally small and stable over time, the test scores of males consistently have larger variance. Except in tests of reading comprehension, perceptual speed, and associative memory, males typically outnumber females substantially among high-scoring individuals.

This is just a diversity, exactly as subject says. Otherwise it would be be called equality or quota system or other new speach crap.
