A 21-year-old woman has accused the bouncers at her local pub of discrimination after she was banned from dancing on the bar because she was told she was too fat.
ABC News reports Jordan Ramos, a student at the University of Iowa, who describes herself as 'plus-sized', says she was with friends at Union Bar in Iowa City last month when she tried to climb onto the bar.
Miss Ramos says she was told to get back on the floor because she 'was not pretty enough' and was 'obviously pregnant'.
ABC reports the bouncer told Miss Ramos the bar was at capacity during a night out on March 3.
She told the network she waited until a few girls stepped off to make room and tried a second time to stand on the platform - but was stopped again.
Miss Ramos said a friend confronted the manager, but he refused to discuss the matter and asked the women to leave.
'There was only one difference: I am a plus-sized individual,' she told ABC.
'The bouncer said "Look, you will never get up on this platform. Go back to the dance floor where you belong."'
She returned to the bar again on April 14, and was again rejected.
'He said, "You’re not pretty enough and you’re pregnant." I said, "I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that I am not pregnant."
'He then looked at my stomach and said, "You obviously are." They knew I was not pregnant; it was there way of calling me fat without having to actually say it,' she said.
Miss Ramos filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission, but officials told her they could not investigate because size discrimination is not illegal.
The incidents, she said, have made her question her worth.

FYI, we also discriminate against absolutely disgusted people!
Secondly, the Caption is incorrect. It should read “you're”, not “your”. Not that anyone else here noticed or cared if they did notice.

Mom and Dad are very proud....
Far as I can tell, the issue here is fat chicks. Take your phony outrage and bogus straw men elsewhere.
You may not like Freepers sense of humor, but that brings into question why you are even here, and also why this thread pulled you in.........
It appears the market has determined her worth.
I bet that sounded like basketball practice in an empty gym, if anybody could hear it over the music.
WILD SNORLAX USES OUTRAGED GLARE.
IT'S NOT VERY EFFECTIVE.
She should have waited until 1 AM, by then the beer goggles would have set in, and they would have thought that she was hot.
I’m glad I didn’t have mouthful of water, I’d have snorted it all over this laptop. LOLOL!
Miss DeGroot: You know, Mr. Bundy, I’ve worked at this library for 44 years. I was eligible for retirement 3 years ago. Do you know why I stayed?
Al Bundy: You learned to eat books?
Don’t laugh too hard here, FReepers. You watch, this will soon be another protected class if the Left gets its way.
Of the real bars, the neighborhood places, the dives, the biker joints and such, there are a few who would quite happily let her up there, but she'd be at the mercy of the patrons sidled up to watch the impromptu show.
The things I've seen that I'd like to unsee as a result, well, call it an expensive education on the seedier side of life. Women hairier than me stripping, sixty year olds in dresses with no undergarments, and even obese women, especially in low rent redneck sorts of places, you know, where every woman in the place outweighs you except for the crackheads, and every one of them either just got a tat or is just about to get a new one.
I saw a very large woman who had had numerous tequila shots jump up on a pedestal table and promptly collapse it, on Christmas Eve once, years ago.
Good thing she was drunk off her @$$, that might’ve hurt. The owner did stop allowing that, from then on, so there is some fear of liability shining dimly through the haze of alcohol and substance abuse.
Maybe that's why the Apostle Paul appeals to me so now, he was quite the sinner but repented, was forgiven and went on to do great things for the Lord. I've had much to repent myself.
Wait until you read 8.
Where did that photo come from? Looks like a still from some horror movie!
If you want to see some effect, refer (however lovingly) to my wife as “Thundercat”.
“I think I smell a fat girls “movement” ....
Some sentences.. well....”
Eye Yie Yie!!!!!
Funniest today.
