An employer must be able to demonstrate that criteria used to make employment decisions that have a disparate impact on women, such as height requirements, are job-related. Because it is unlikely that Tom will be able to substantiate that only people over six feet tall can command the necessary respect to be hired as waiters or waitresses, the likelihood is that Lucinda has been the victim of illegal gender discrimination.
