In Babuji's example of the military school, that's not a private company, but a government sponsored or supported institution. You can't disallow women from a school that's receiving federal funds. When Hooters starts accepting federal tax dollars, they might have to start hiring male waitstaff, too.

Ah ok, thanks for the explanation Angela.
