Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In certain situations, employers may discriminate on the basis of sex if it is considered a bona fide occupational qualification necessary for the job. This is allowed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, such as in cases where the job requires changing in a locker room separated by sex or providing intimate personal services like nursing or personal care. However, such discrimination must be reasonably necessary for the performance of the job, and the least discriminatory alternative must be chosen.
