Justice for Men & Boys 
A few years ago I read of a successful Chinese investor who was asked the secret of his success in investment. He replied that one of the principles he abides by is that he never invests in companies who have women on the board.

Thanks Robert. I think you’re alluding to the story we covered in 2018:

As a personal observation I’ve seen the very difficult years for business during and post “pandemic” mean a slew of early retirements, specially by women. There have also been some high profile departures from retailers “household names”. Perhaps someone will access to business data could test the hypothesis that as businesses have faced real difficulties , and therefore executives and boards been under increased pressure, the % of females in such roles has fallen (as has been my observation locally). This would tend to support the JFM&B view is that it is the largest and most established businesses that can afford to carry “diversity hires” in buoyant times. While hard times means carrying passengers becomes suspect and of course work/life balances become squeezed.
As for small businesses the data has always shown females start ups tend to remain single trader/very small businesses rarely developing into more expansionary businesses.
