LIMITED NUMBER OF WOMEN CEOS AND BOARD MEMBERS

I think we know the answer and have known the answer for years:

1) the distribution of IQ at 130 or higher, which is common threshold in CEO’s and board members, and necessary for marginally competitive advantage means that executive participation by women will max at around 30%. Nature does not produce an equivalent number of marginally different women.

2) board membership is not fun. It is largely hard work. The material is quantitative. And decisions are legal, funancial, political, factional and risky. Appeals to empathy or sympathy are considered rightly to be attemts at deception. Board members usually have little information and what they do have they must treat skepyically. Consensus can be difficult and intractable.

3) Women will not as willingly play the cost of maintaining unpleasant, argumentative factional loyalty as often or as well as men, so they are percieved as less trustworthy partners on a team. Those that do are paired with men they agree with. And that combination seems to be powerful.

4) more men prefer to specialize in abstract rules, and devote their time to one specialization. So more men tend to master what organizations value.

Free from nevessary domestic toil, women dominate the middle of the economy and men the margins, and assortive mating reinforces that distribution. There is no chance it will change and if it did, those companies operation by existing means would rapidly dominate those with less meritocratic orders.

We are only equal under the law in the resolution of disputes over property and even then not universally so – as males will attest in family court.

But we are not equal in ability. Equal in value to others. Equal in status ( mating potential). Nor equal in value to mankind.

Equality is achieveable in kinship matters, but not commercial relations. And commerce under individualism is not kinship outside of a homogenous city state.

Just how it is and must be.

We can bend natures laws but we cannot ignore them.
