Gender Classifications

  • Frontiero v. Richardson

    Court goes through indicia of suspectness;
    Struck down
    Based on a stereotype NOT OK
  • Craig v. Boren

    "Near Beer" case Even empirical support for a gender-based distinction will not serve to acheive a state objective.
  • U.s. v. Virginia (VMI)

    Based on stereotype
    As long as ONE woman is harmed by this, it's not OK
