I bet you would... It is common sense when you see a lingerie store that females will be working there and not men. For a man to walk in and fill out an application in a females lingerie store for a sales girl position, then in my opinion he is up to something...

he owns a small store not a big chain so having a million dollar law suit doesn't seem reasonable plus if I went into a lingerie store and I saw men helping the women out I would turn around and walk right out kinda weird having a guy tell me " this is a better bra or these is a nicer set" whatever the case its too arkward plus these girls husbands/bf's wouldnt be all that happy either. i know mine wouldnt lol

Don't take my word for it contact your attorney and see what he says about what you have said here. In the laws eyes you could have replaced Male with "Blacks" and its exactly the same discrimination. Just because 95% of your customers are white doesn't mean you can't hire minorities.

Who said 95% of my customers are white???? BTW Hooters and my business are totally different...

I don't care if you are purple, yellow, green, etc, missing two limbs, an eye and three fingers, If you can fulfill the position we need, your hired...

I know that for me I would be ok but yet uncomfortable with a male salesman assisting my girlfriend with intimate apparel. I would be watching him closely to say the least. With Bikini hiring females I can understand that logic. Hooters hires the girls because they are selling sex. Bikini is hiring girls to provide his female customers a certain level of comfort. Its kinda like being a bar owner. If your smart your womans bathroom better be heated and look nice because if you cant please the ladies when they are using your facilities then you might as well kiss your male clientle goodbye. And to compare a Hooters million dollar law suite or bring the race card into how Bikini and his wife manage their obviously female specific business is like comparing a Amazon Sword plant and a Frogspawn frag.


Bikini, I will trade you a Frogspawn frag for a male thong. Do you have one? J/K... but seriously do you.

Its still discrimination, if a male comes in and aces your test will you still not hire him?

Any lawyers here? Im pretty sure its only discrimination if you can prove that the sex ( or any other characteristic in question ) does not impinge on the job in question. For instance, it is not discrimination to hire only women to work in a women's only gym, if thats what the business is based on.

Im surprised you still have a business being so open about not hiring males. Its one thing to not hire males, but to openly SAY you dont hire males simply because they are male? You might as well say the same about minorities or disabled people. It is exactly the same and the courts have upheld this time and time again.

If a person has a disability that prevents him/her from fulfilling the job to the same extent as a person without that disability, it is not discrimination. Just an example, when one applies to medical school, there is a section that states certain competencies which are required. Among them are physical attributes like hearing, seeing, etc. Is that discriminatory? No. Why? Because a blind or deaf person cannot adequately fullfill the requirements of practicing medicine. Now if the person is not being hired, despite being perfectly suitable for the job, based only on the disability - that is discrimination.


I can see it now - a 5' 2" 380 lb. woman with a mustache sues Baddabing for discrimination....

The whole point of this thread is to show that so many young ladys can't even pass a simple test that involves little math. All they think about is being on there cell phones, sidekicks, hanging out with friends, myspace, etc. It is a shame...
