MarkMT 68 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 He didn't say only women should apply. He just gave the job title as 'stewardess'. If he said 'steward' it wouldn't imply that only men could apply either. Not trying to wind anyone up as Cris's response effectively settles the issue. Still Dan's point is interesting... I certainly concur with your second point about 'steward' - I don't think anyone would dispute that that term is gender-neutral. But I think it would be a lot harder to find people who consider 'stewardess' to also be gender-neutral. Indeed it's not hard to find references that explicitly define it in gender-specific terms and I suspect many would take the choice of language to mean that only women should apply. But whether a US court would take that view I have no idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
