Your opinion is your own and you have every right to it, as do I mine.

The ignorance defense never works in a court of law either.

It's attitudes similar to the one you display that helped bring equality laws in the first place to combat discriminatory minds.
The law is black and white mate however, within the laws there are always exceptions to make it ok to discriminate under certain circumstances such as if you are seeking to hire an actor or someone to work in the lingerie section of a store, but for jobs that can be done easily by both sexes you cannot advertise for one sex applicant's.

Still that would have ruined a good row on a slow Sunday

Going back to the original post the OP does state that it's a clothing business. Just maybe he requires a woman because the clothing is womens clothing or underwear. By your own post above that would make the job exempt from discrimination laws.

The only exemption would be if the person employed was required to try on the clothing for a valid reason, but then they wouldn't be employed as a receptionist, they'd be a model.
Nice try though.

No... men can work with women's underwear and fashions. I think you'll find that lots of men already do and they're called fashion designers....

Bit sexist of you.
As for trying on thongs, oddly we don't strip off in front of females either. We go to a changing room and do it, but if he was a professional at his job, like the guy who worked in Browns was, then so what?
You think women who work in men's underwear shops are weighing you up or are they just doing their job?
Double standards!
