Which statement best illustrates sex discrimination?

• A. Refusing entry due to their accent
• B. Refusing entry to someone because they are female
• C. Refusing entry for wearing a badge
• D. Refusing entry due to trying to enter after closing time

Answer: (B)

Sex discrimination means treating someone unfavorably because of their sex. In a door supervisor role, decisions about who to admit should be based on behavior and safety, not gender. Refusing entry to someone specifically because they are female is direct discrimination on the basis of sex, which is unlawful under the Equality Act and against professional standards. The other scenarios don’t involve treating someone differently due to their sex: refusing entry because of an accent raises concerns about bias toward nationality or ethnicity, refusing because of wearing a badge is about policy or conduct, and turning people away after closing time is simply applying a rule.
