Farrell, Warren The Myth of Male Power (Berkley Book, Simon & Schuster, Inc.1994)
Page 344:
TRUE OR FALSE? Employers are prohibited from practicing sex discrimination in hiring and promoting employees.
ANSWER; False. The U. S. Supreme Court ruled in 1987 that in job areas dominated by men, less qualified women
could be hired. It did not allow less qualified men to be hired in areas dominated by women (e.g., elementary school
teacher, nurse, secretary, cocktail waiting, restaurant host, office receptionist, flight attendant). The law also requires sex
discrimination in hiring by requiring quotas, requiring vigorous recruitment of women, and requiring all institutions that
receive government aid to do a certain percentage of their business with female-owned (or minority-owned) businesses.
