The Peahen’S Tale, Or Dressing Our Parts At Work, Julie A. Seaman Jan 2007

The Peahen’S Tale, Or Dressing Our Parts At Work, Julie A. Seaman

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

However, there may ultimately be no logical way to reconcile decisions that prohibit employers from requiring women to wear revealing outfits and others that permit employers to require them to wear makeup,20 or decisions that prohibit penalizing a woman for being insufficiently feminine and others that permit penalizing a man for being insufficiently masculine.21 In addition, the increasing judicial acceptance of the sex stereotyping theory of sex discrimination under Title VII is in substantial tension with recent cases that insist that sex-differentiated dress and grooming requirements that "merely"22 conform to existing social gender norms do not amount to impermissible sex …


Vive La Difference? A Critical Analysis Of The Justification Of Sex-Dependent Workplace Restrictions On Dress And Grooming, Patrick S. Shin Jan 2007

Vive La Difference? A Critical Analysis Of The Justification Of Sex-Dependent Workplace Restrictions On Dress And Grooming, Patrick S. Shin

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

Any answer here is bound to be controversial, but it would have to be founded on a notion that we, as a society, have reason to value and therefore preserve a state of affairs in which certain types of behaviors relating to the manner of presenting oneself to others are engaged in predominantly by members of one sex but not the other.109 To put it another way, the rationalizability of sex-dependent workplacepresentation rules must depend on the idea that, even granting that sex and gender or gender-performance can be conceptually disaggregated,110 we nevertheless have reason to maintain a state of …


What Do Unions Do About Appearance Codes?, Michael J. Yelnosky Jan 2007

What Do Unions Do About Appearance Codes?, Michael J. Yelnosky

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

In contrast, Renee Gaud and Trisha Hart worked as cocktail servers at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey.8 Unlike Darlene Jespersen, they were union employees represented by the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union, Local 54, and thus were not at-will workers.9 Gaud, Hart, and other employees objected to a new Borgata policy prohibiting cocktail servers and bartenders from gaining more than seven percent of their body weight as determined by a baseline set when the policy was instituted.10 Gaud and Hart challenged the policy in New Jersey state court on the grounds that …


Preservationism, Or The Elephant In The Room: How Opponents Of Same-Sex Marriage Deceive Us Into Establishing Religion, Justin T. Wilson Jan 2007

Preservationism, Or The Elephant In The Room: How Opponents Of Same-Sex Marriage Deceive Us Into Establishing Religion, Justin T. Wilson

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

The overwhelming majority of support for bans on same-sex civil marriage has come from religious believers, and the so-called "secular justifications" for these bans are mere pretexts for religious beliefs that homosexuality, homosexuals, and same-sex couples are evil or sinful. Courts should take a hard look at the substantive justifications offered in support of same-sex marriage bans, bearing in mind that (1) these justifications are universally offered by religious believers but are infrequently offered by credentialed Secularists, and (2) they are the result of a studied use of pretextual, secular-sounding language to cloak a religiously-motivated bias against homosexuals and same-sex …


Grappling With “Solicitation”: The Need For Statutory Reform In North Carolina After Lawrence V. Texas, Christopher R. Murray Jan 2007

Grappling With “Solicitation”: The Need For Statutory Reform In North Carolina After Lawrence V. Texas, Christopher R. Murray

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

Teresa Pope was charged with solicitation of the crime against nature for offering oral sex for money to two undercover police officers.5 Solicitation is an inchoate offense-like attempt or conspiracy-that relies on the criminality of the underlying conduct. 6 Although oral sex by itself cannot be criminalized post-Lawrence, the North Carolina Court of Appeals held in State v. Pope that the charge of solicitation of the crime against nature survived Lawrence by virtue of an exception in that decision allowing criminalization of prostitution. "10 In State v. Richardson, the Supreme Court of North Carolina construed this statute to apply only …


The Many Faces Of Darlene Jespersen, Michael Selmi Jan 2007

The Many Faces Of Darlene Jespersen, Michael Selmi

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

Since this symposium and this case are about appearances, it is worth noting that Lambda Legal posted pictures of Darlene Jespersen in her uniform on its website, and those pictures could be seen as presenting a stereotypical image of a middle-aged gay woman.5 There are obviously many reasons the pictures may have been presented-to humanize her, to show the effect of the makeup policy since the pictures appeared to be taken in the context of the personal best policy-but they also convey an image, and were likely intended to do so. An objection to this line of reasoning is likely …


Lessons From Equal Opportunity Harasser Doctrine: Challenging Sex-Specific Appearance And Dress Codes, Deborah Zalesne Jan 2007

Lessons From Equal Opportunity Harasser Doctrine: Challenging Sex-Specific Appearance And Dress Codes, Deborah Zalesne

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

Importing interpretations of Title VII developed from the equal opportunity harasser doctrine to dress code cases-which also fall under the purview of Title VII-would allow courts to focus on the sex-based underpinnings of employer dress codes that construct women as generally inferior to men and the harm that dress codes present to individuals who deviate from accepted gender norms, without requiring comparative evidence of unequal burdens to both sexes.
