A woman with four children (6-year-old triplets and an 11-year-old) was passed over for promotion in favor

Question:

A woman with four children (6-year-old triplets and an 11-year-old) was passed over for promotion in favor of another woman with two children (a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old). One of the three supervisors who made the promotion decision stated that “It was nothing you did or didn’t do. It was just that you’re going to school, you have the kids, and you just have a lot on your plate right now.” She also said that she and the other supervisors agreed that they would feel “overwhelmed” in the same circumstances. When one of the supervisors was first informed that the woman had triplets, she responded, “Oh my—I did not know that you had triplets … Bless you!” After answering a question during her interview about how she would handle a subordinate who failed to finish an assigned task on time, one of the supervisors responded, “You are a mother … would you let your kids off the hook that easy …?” The woman sued, advancing a sex-stereotyping theory. What should the court decide? Why?
