ELI5: How is it legal that Hooters wont let men be waiters?

Isn't that discrimination?
gpt
Basically, discrimination is legal - even in terms of protected classes like sex and race - if the company can show that there is a bona fide purpose for the discrimination. Hooters has argued that their servers are entertainers, and the entertainment they provide is a role that can not be filled by a man. Their stance has generally held up in court, although they have reached settlements with some men who sued on the basisof hiring discrimination.
