as far as ive seen replacing a cishet male ceo with a non-cishet male basically has 0 benefit. The situations remain just as exploitative.

Why do people (non lemmings) think this will work?

    I’ve yet to meet anyone who thinks we can fix capitalism by replacing CEOs who are men with women.

    However, I’ve met plenty of people who think addressing issues like workplace harassment and sexism can improve by having more diverse workplaces, which can include women who are CEOs.

    Very few people, if any, believe capitalism will be “fixed” by merely swapping out men who are CEOs with women.

      Sorry, I have. People genuinely believe that having more diverse people in these positions will just change what they do. Like electing obama made many actually think we had defeated racism, all while he increased police spending and was lenient to the private prison industry.

        Yes, and how many of the people who thought Obama was a sign of racial progress in the USA also believed he would “fix” capitalism? The two are completely separate things. The overwhelming majority of Obama supporters quite openly supported capitalism.
