"The Masonic nursing home has mostly female occupants and hires fewer male attendants than female ones. Home administrators maintain that the female occupants (for privacy reasons) would not consent to intimate personal care by males and would, in fact, leave the home. A substantial portion of the women at home are "total care" patients who require assistance performing virtually all activities, including bathing, dressing and using toilets, catheters, and bedpans. In a suit brought by a male nurse's aide who was denied employment, who would win? [FesselvMasonic Home, 17FEP Cases 330 (Del. 1978)]"
