I believe that the Bona Fide Occupational Qualification is necessary. There are exceptions to every rule, and this provides an exception to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. "Title VII states that an employer cannot discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin (Dessler, 2013). In other words, while it is illegal to only hire women to work at Hooters, it is perfectly legal to only hire females to model a new line of women's fashions. "Bona fide occupational qualifications generally only apply to instances in which the BFOQ is considered reasonably necessary to the normal operation of a particular business" (Bona fide occupational qualifications, 2014). Men modeling Victoria's Secret's newest undergarment collection isn't relatable to the company's target market of women, and therefore isn't going to drive sales.
