Ironic.

These kind of laws were championed by women.

"compounded" issues it faced regarding increased operation costs

Minimum wage, anyone?

I recall many years ago, some bars had cover charges, which men paid to get in, but women didn’t pay cover charges.

I think the “business model” was, let women in, and then men will pay the cover charges because there are women in the bar. The women attract the men, everybody drinks, the bar makes money, men meet women, everybody benefits.

It sounds like it is illegal to do such things. I remember hearing, before my time, some baseball teams had ladies days, where women were admitted for free.

Oh well, since we live in a world in which we can’t even define what a woman is, so much for any of this sort of thing.

In my experience, “Ladies night” meant cheap drinks for women - which had the effect of attracting more men to the bar.

I’m guessing it was a gay man who brought the lawsuit?

“It’s a frivolous lawsuit that took us down. It’s just ambulance-chasing lawyers,”

I’m off the opinion that once a month or so an attorney should be chosen at random and executed by a squad of men using flamethrowers just to set an example for the rest of them.

What a great way to co-opt the leaders of North Korea over to our side - put them in charge of those sorts of events. Didn’t they use a firing squad of anti-aircraft guns a while back?

Can't say that I disagree with the basis of the lawsuit.

A restaurant that hosted a "Men's Night" event would be burned to the ground by every feminist group in the country.

#WINNING.

The old model doesn’t work anymore. Women come to the bar, men don’t, and women are forced to pay for their own drinks.

I always paid for my own cover charge no matter where we went. I had a VIP pass to a few nightclubs in NY and definitely got my money’s worth. I was typically the designated driver so $10 was the most I would spend at the bar. Usually, it was throwing down tips to the bar tender because I ordered non-alcoholic beverages.

My husband loved that I was an inexpensive date. He ordered drinks; I wanted water or soda. We’d go out to eat; he would get steak or seafood and I wanted a salad (back when salads were cheap).

Calilosers destroyed more of the state. Newsom got high, collected another government paycheck and ran to the French Laundry to escape.

I really wish business forced to shut down because of these lawsuits went out in a blaze of glory by publishing the name and address of the judge, plaintiffs and the plaintiffs’ attorneys.

The Democrats war on women continues apace. When will they learn?

A profitable family minority-owned business forced to close. Liberals ruin every decent thing they touch.
