Equal Opportunity Employment means " that a person whether woman or man, belongs to any race, religion, family or educational background or any age group will not be discriminated against if he/she has the skill set, education and experience required for the job advertised."
However, there is the case for "Bona-fide Discrimination" , which is permitted in USA and is perfectly normal. Suppose you, as an employer, advertise for a position which beside office work includes lifting of 20 kg weight. Now a woman and man showed up for interview and a woman says she cannot lift that much weight. In that case you have a right to select the man.
