For this assignment, refer to the case about Hooters in Unit $4$ and answer the following two questions based on your reading from the textbook $(2\mathrm{.}50$ points per question$)$:

$1.$ What type of discrimination did the EEOC likely allege in this situation? What was the legal basis for Hooter's defense of their hiring only women servers? Was Hooters discriminating illegally?

$2.$ How much of Hooter's success is driven by its strategy of catering to male customers through hiring attractive female waitresses and having them wear provocative uniforms? If the EEOC wins, how successful do you think Hooters will be in competing against restaurants such as Applebees, Chilis, and TGI Fridays?
