Story here. It took 6 years and is only a million dollars (lawyers will probably get most) in restitution but it is still a win. I think the main issue here is that a man actually decided to fight back against the ingrained misandry of this society and won! I doubt he will be on Larry King Live or Oprah. Excerpt:

'LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Lawry's, a California-based chain of high-end steakhouses, has agreed to pay more than $1 million to settle a sex-discrimination lawsuit that claimed it only hired women to wait on tables.

...Under the EEOC consent decree, Lawry's has agreed to actively promote the hiring of men into server position among other remedies.

The EEOC launched an investigation into the case after a male employee at Lawry's sued the chain in March 2003, arguing that he was denied a job as a server because of his sex.
...
However, since the complaint, the company "undertook substantial efforts to remedy the matter."

...Among other requirements, it calls for $500,000 in relief to the plaintiffs' class, $300,000 for an advertising campaign on hiring servers and $225,000 to train employees on federal hiring laws.'
