Stereotypical Trump

The Trump administration wants to make it easier to fire women who act too ‘masculine’ Thirty years ago, in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, the Supreme Court held that “sex stereotyping” is forbidden by a federal law banning employment discrimination. “We are beyond the day,” Justice William Brennan wrote in the court’s plurality opinion, “when an employer could evaluate employees by assuming or insisting that they matched the stereotype associated with their group.” Nevertheless, the Trump administration filed R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes v. EEOC last week which asks the Supreme Court to bring back the day when an employer could evaluate employees based on stereotypes associated with their group. No, this won’t completely wipe out Prince Waterhouse, but it will absolutely weaken protections against gender discrimation.
