The bicycle case is typical of the wide variety of issues that have arisen under famed Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Women have also complained almost always with success about hiring practices, dress codes, height requirements, smok ing privileges, hours of work, and seniority rules. “ Title Seven," said one court, “ rejects the notion of romantic paternalism toward women and seeks to place them on an equal footing with men." In fact, men too have won vic tories under the same law . I or example, the Commission found sex discrimination in another company that gave half-hour lunch periods to its women em ployees but only 20 minutes to men. Nevertheless, Title Seven does not apply Io hardship situations lhal ure not based on discrimina tion between Ihe sexes. Take this case: A saleswoman accused her de partment manager of viola! ing Title Seven by deliberately mak ing her life miserable. She said he made fun of her, gave her hard assignments, and bawled her out viciously. It turned out. however, that her fellow men in the same depart ment had the same lale of woe. Since male and female employ ees were being treated with equal harshness, the Commission decid ed to turn down the woman's complaint, Ih e Commission said she had not proven a violation of Title Seven.- but merely that the de partment manager was a very nasty fellow.
