Yes, but it didn't recognise the discrimination because it wasn't one of racism or sexism. If the company employed white women & black men, they could openly discriminate against black women (usually due to stereotypes abt aggressiveness & promiscuity) w/out any recourse.

Not that it matters because this isn't precedent currently, but it did recognize that there was a claim of discrimination and reviewed the claim under the statute. Negative result was on the merits of the sex discrimination claim.

Replying to @doublespeak152 @HPluckrose and
With the sex discrimination claim dismissed, the court advised the plaintiff to join with a different suit of black male GE employees for the racial discrimination claim that was ongoing.

Yes. That was the problem Crenshaw pointed out. They could only complain under gender or race and because that didn't cover it, no case.
