In Phillips v . Martin Marietta Corp., 400 U.S.
    542 (1971) (per curiam), the plaintiff’s claim of
    gender discrimination was based on the fact that the
    employer refused to accept applications from women
    with pre-school-age children, but did not enforce that
    policy against men. The Supreme Court held that the
    “Court of Appeals . . . erred in reading [Title VII]
    as permitting one hiring policy for women and another
    for men-each having pre-school-age children.” Id. at
    544. The Court thus created a cause of action for
    “gender-plus” discrimination; that i s , Title VII not
    only forbids discrimination against women in general,
    but also discrimination against subclasses of women,
