This is interesting and suggests that I reconsider this post. I can imagine someone as motivated as Vijay Chokal-Ingam might find he can only get on the board of directors as a woman.

Of course, as a woman, he might discover all kinds of attitude, sexual harrassment and discrimination in the way that "Jo-Jo" Chokal-Ingam discovered life was different when he presented as black.
