> At the point where 80% of the board room is men, you have to assume qualified women are being passed up at some point and it's not a meritocracy. Good point. But then shouldn't the law require company boards to have at least 30% women and at least 30% men? Because a board with 80% women cannot be a meritocracy.

I wouldn't be opposed to that at all! Although since the under-representation of men isn't a widespread problem, I doubt it would be anything other than symbolic. But you're right, if women are being over-represented, that would also point to a problem.
