It is crap and will cause even more hesitation in hiring women in particular.

The hardest hit by the Americans with Disabilities Act were the disabled. Studies showed the probability of them getting hired dropped dramatically as businesses acted defensively to limit their liability under the act. If I was a man alone in an office, say a dentist, I’d hesitate to hire a woman assistant.
After the company I worked for was taken to an EOE administrative court by a black clearly hoping for a big payout for discrimination, they became more careful in hiring blacks. (The company prevailed and the black woman judge, who had never found for a company, read the man the riot act.)
For every “action” there is an equal and opposite reaction.
