THE SUPREME COURT today rejected a class action lawsuit filed by women employees against Wal-Mart. In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that hiring decisions involving 1.6 million employees could not be reduced to the single common factor of the sex of the employees. This ruling represents a positive restraint on mandatory, government-enforced hiring of women and discrimination against men.

The idea that 1.6 million women in many different stores were affected by a policy of hostility to women, and were fired or denied promotion because of this hostility and not because of their job performance, is patently absurd.
