They still do all those things, but use different excuses.
Back in the 1980's I was turned down for jobs because I was a woman, but they used "safety" as the justification.
Several different employers told me directly or indirectly that I would be a "distraction" to the other people working on the crew.
Another told me I was "too pretty" and I would get raped on the jobsite.
I had some job interviews that turned into request for prostitution services.
Mind you I wasn't searching in the male entertainment field, I never interviewed at strip clubs or massage parlors or anything like that.
These were basic jobs in manufacturing and industry.
Up through the 1990's that I'm aware of, prospective landlords would ask women all kinds of questions about their lives they never asked the men. It probably still goes on.
