It is still a free enough country. The EEOC recognizes "bona fide occupational qualifications" as a legitimate basis for discrimination. Thus, you could require a person to be able to speak spanish in order to work on the air for a spanish radio show; you could restrict hiring to women for a position as a women's prison guard; you could limit hiring to black actors for the role of Jackie Robinson. Seems to me that it is legitimate to want a feminist woman to direct a show with a feminist perspective on the ordination of women.<br>

<br style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><span style="font-family: georgia,serif;">look, if you want to run a show about male chauvinists directed by a male chauvinist, then, by all means, be my guest, but please don't be surprised if nobody comes. <br>
