The Muller v. Oregon decision of 1908, which upheld the legality of limiting women's work hours, had several unintended consequences, including making employers more hesitant to hire women due to the restrictions on their working hours. This led to a situation where employers might prefer male employees who were not subject to these limitations, thus potentially leading to more instances of firing female employees or choosing not to hire them in the first place.
