Is a Male Gynecologist Protected Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or Does the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification exception protect the Profession? Illegal Sex Discrimination or Permissible Customer Preference? Refusal to Hire and Employ Male Gynecologists: A Legal Research Guide By Amy R. Stein Professor of Legal Writing and Assistant Dean for Adjunct Instruction Hofstra University School of Law One key piece of legislation that was instrumental in shifting the workforce from 34% female in 1964 to 52% of today's workforce was Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub. L. 88-352). This legislation was designed to ensure that a qualified individual could not be barred from employment on the basis of that person's race, color, religion, sex and/or national origin. Even as Title VII transformed the workforce and opened opportunities previously closed to women and other minorities it continued to recognize that some types of preferences might be necessitated by certain markets. In particular, personal services, those requiring close contact with individuals, seemed to pit the overall goals of Title VII against personal choice, choice that might have little to do with a desire to discriminate and everything to do with privacy concerns. In the latest Pathfinder in Hein's Legal Research Guide Series Professor Amy Stein provides researchers with a starting point to help determine when the bona fide occupational qualification exception may be evoked and under what circumstances it may be defeated. As a profession, Gynecology clearly comes to the forefront of professions faced with this hotly debated subject. This guide provides the user with citations to and summaries of the leading primary and secondary materials needed to research this topic thoroughly. Stein aptly describes the importance of each research step and explores in-depth how courts have interpreted and applied the bona fide occupational qualification exception.
