• noting that a statement such as, “Old women are hard to deal with,” without more, does not show intentional discrimination
• finding decisionmaker’s statement that “he didn’t want to talk to any middle-aged menopausal women,” was not evidence of discrimination because he interviewed plaintiff and decided not to hire her because she was not qualified for the job
• stray remarks of a derogatory character do not show direct discrimination unless they are related to the adverse employment action
• “What the qualifications for a position are, even if those qualifications change, is a business decision, one courts should not interfere with.”
