In CA, female employees have traditionally had to prove they were treated worse than men in comparable positions to press charges of sex discrimination. Updates in labor law have made it easier for women to prove they have been the victim of discrimination at their job — whether it is gender or pregnancy based. Now, women employees can use their managers biased statements and behavior to show they have been the recipient of unfair treatment. Based on lawsuits cited by the EEOC, here are examples of managers behaving badly:

• Statements that it isn’t possible to be a good mother and perform a certain job or that women can’t be both good mothers and good workers or that women’s job performance deteriorates after the birth of a child
• Decisions based on assumptions such as the idea that mothers won’t relocate their families for a promotion
• Discrimination against fathers in ways such as not providing them with parental leave because they’re breadwinners, not primary parents
