I'm still waiting to see a lawsuit forcing strip clubs to hire equal proportions of male and female dancers

That would almost certainly fall under the "bona fide occupational qualification"[1] exception.

Oh that's interesting, so the strip club featuring women could have to just have other positions like bouncers, doormen, cooks etc that were fillable by both men and women, which they already do.

I didn't even think of that in the prior person's example.

That's because I specified "dancers". But... as the gay cakes case shows, bisexuals probably won't be able to compel strip clubs to cater to them.
In California they only recently got reclassified as employees and the club as employer, so you were waiting for that first and now you might be able to get the challenge you desired.
I know there are first amendment exceptions that would, for example, not require a movie to consider male actors for the role of Juliet or woman actors for the role of Romeo.
