perhaps they should have called it a form of affirmative action?

It's their business. They should be able to run their business without stupid rules from the government.
The ladies can drink free drinks and everyone can smoke. If that's the clientele they want to attract, then they should be able to do it their way.
How?
They should just be able to run it that way, but the government makes them play silly games.
They'll redesignate it a "club." You will have to sign up for the club to get through the door. When signing up, you will acknowledge and accept the smoking and ladies' night rules. Your cover charge will be the club fees.
Another case of liberal logic(?): Find something that ain't broke and fix it. Of course the fix is worse than the original state of things, but it's all in the name of diversity (puke).
Us younger people will not tolerate this blatant discrimination.
Yes, call it "gender reparations night" and you'll present the PC busybodies with a real quandry.
I hate it when I have to compile rules. Especially without the source code.
As nonsensical as this is, I support it. I think the key to bringing down the liberal superstate is pushing its rules to their contradictory conclusions. It doesn't work, but if we keep brushing over the incoherence and making compromises, we're dancing down the path to hell.
It looks like this guy (?) J. Frank Vespa-Papaleo has a strong affiliation with this group of pillow biters. Gay and Lesbian Political Action and Support Groups http://www.gaypasg.org
Just plain dumb and I can't see the discrimination. A bar can give ANYONE it sees fit a price break. This is not the same as a retail establishment.
While I think this is a waste of the court's time and should just have been left alone, I can't help but think what would have been happening if the roles were reversed, if it were the men who got the discounted drinks. Does anyone here think for one minute that the leftists would not have sued everyone in sight?
And the reason that bars give discounts to the ladies is that they hope it will attract a large crowd of ladies, thereby attracting a large crowd of men.......
It's a good business model, folks.
Yes, here we go again....
Good intentions?
What about children's prices at the movies? Don't they use up a chair just like an adult? And don't weekday matinee prices discriminate against the traditionally employed?
"You must be this tall for this ride" is a blantant attempt by the amusement park industry to discriminate against the vertically challenged.
women want equal rights, so they shoudl be happy. They just got a few more rights. Guys should also be banned by Federal Law for paying for more than 50% of the times in dates, just to make it more equal :)
"the "important social policy objective of eradicating discrimination." "
So when does the state require unisex restrooms?
Somebody should tell the owners of strip clubs (don't they also have, ahem, "ladies' nights?") that this is what comes of electing Democrats.
I LOVE IT!!!!
