I'm only covering ONE law here, not others that pertain to gender based discrimination are later additions or supplements, like Affirmative Action, etc. Also, technically, yes you can discriminate based on age alone, its actually quite common, if you just look. Movie Theaters, who are also covered under the Public Accommodation clause routinely discriminate against minors, if you wish to call it that, restricting the conditions in which they could view movies, etc. Just for your Information, Movie Theaters are NOT legally obligated to follow any guidelines, it is NOT illegal in this country for a 12 year old to watch a rated R movie, they follow their own practices, and its good business practice to roughly follow MPAA guidelines, otherwise you may not be able to order more of their movies for your theater. Same goes for video stores and others, they also routinely discriminate based on age when it comes to certain items that are not LEGALLY restricted, like Cigarettes and Alcohol. Not to mention Senior Citizen discounts. Employment is also different, covered by the EEOC.

ON EDIT: Equal Opportunity Commission don't exist, me stupid :dunce:
