Can you explain the EU law? If a man applied to be a girl's PE teacher that would be in a locker room, is that allowed? Certainly not, right? The US allows discrimination in general as long as it's not based on membership in certain groups, unless such membership is germaine to the job. So you could limit gender in my PE teacher example, but you can't for a crossing guard (because presumably, anyone can be a crossing guard but sex matters for PE teaching).
Used PE teaching because I can't think of a better example.
- justaguy88 6y agoWhy would any PE teacher enter the locker room, that seems odd regardless of gender.
- tathougies 6y agoThat was my attempt at a good example. Certainly you must admit there are occupations where gender matters? Like prison guard?
- slim 6y agoA better example would be casting for a film. You can definitely cast only Aryan men for a Nazi role. That would be reasonable and the law permits that. Generally speaking cases of discrimination are settled in court and judges have the latitude to, well, judge.
