Right. They just will not hire you. Pentecostals who want to work there cannot because the females will not wear a pant's uniform.

I'm thinking specifically about the case where the woman sued McDonalds because she would not wear pants.

However, isn't it the same concept in reverse in some churches if a woman will not wear a dress? Can you sue a church for discrimination in treatment if a female gets reprimanded by the pastor if she comes to church in slack suits, trims her hair and wears makeup and jewelry? Wouldn't it be true that if one can sue a corporation for discrimination, then one can sue a church because they become incorporated when they apply for and obtain a 501 c 3 tax-exempt status?

Not that it would be the Christian thing to sue a church for that unless they caused gross defamation of your character to where your children even suffer for that defamation.
