Legally you can, but you should not: once you voluntarily quit a job, your entitlement to pay, benefits, or other compensation for it is cut off. If you quit the job, you will not be entitled to compensation past the point where you quit, so you will be reducing your potential award or claim. Stay with the job and keep documenting the transgressions for your EEOC claim.
