Sex discrimination can be explicit, such as disparate treatment between male and female employees or denying someone employment because “this is a man’s job” or “this is a woman’s job.” It can also take the form of pregnancy discrimination, by failing to hire a woman simply because an employer is afraid she will have children, and therefore not taking her position as seriously as a man in a similar position.
