This is just nuts...

PING!

Do you believe this happy-crappy?

I don’t think lady's night is fair, BUT it is not unconstitutional. A private person or business is not able to deny you your constitutional rights. Now, if it was a government run bar, OK he would have a case.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

New York attorney Roy Den Hollander has filed a class action lawsuit against several Manhattan bars and clubs, alleging that their ladies' night practices are unconstitutional. Hollander charges that when they host ladies' night they are violating the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law.

Good grief. Give me a freakin' break.

[freekitty]

More stupidity to keep us busy and distracted.

“Hollander charges that when they host ladies’ night they are violating the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.”

Exactly what is he looking to be equally protected from?? Ladies?

They’re private businesses. If they want to have cattle-loving-midgets-in-spandex night, they can, and this guy can’t do a f*cking thing about it.

[Khepera]

What about coupons. Someone gets 10% off just because they have a coupon and all others pay full price. Seems like discrimination to me. A lack of equal protection too!

[MarineBrat]

A man who sues to stop ladies night has got to be the biggest wussy that ever walked the planet.

New York attorney Roy Den Hollander has filed a class action lawsuit against several Manhattan bars and clubs, alleging that their ladies' night practices are unconstitutional . . . [as] violating the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law.

Somebody is totally incompetent. Either the writer of the article or the attorney.

The Constitution does not prohibit a business from discriminating against men, but local, state, and federal laws prohibit such discrimination under certain circumstances. The Constitution's 14th Amendment prohibits a governmental entity from such discrimination against men.

Unfortunately, such ladies' nights have been outlawed as violations of local or state laws (NOT unconstitutional) in some areas. As ridiculous as it might seem, the guy may succeed in stopping Ladies' Nights in his state or locality, depending on the law that he uses.

On the other hand, if he simply argues that the nightclub policy is unconstitutional, he should be laughed out of court.

What’s next, a class action lawsuit if she won’t sleep with you after $50 in drinks...?

[ran20]

Maybe after the lawyers ran most of our businesses out of the country they are running out of things to sue over?

[MarkL]

Apparently this guy Hollander has never gotten lucky at a bar. This ensures that he never will.

The SCOTUS has determined that giving preferences is allowable (affirmative action) in order to make up for past wrongs. Given the amount of time women generally have to wait for bathrooms at night clubs, I would say that “ladies nights” make up for it.

Can anyone else say “frivolous law suit?” This isn’t a case where a contempt charge should be filed. It could be settled with a simple statement from the judge: “Bailiff... Beat the crap out of the plaintiff!”

Should I make assumptions about the man’s sexuality? Ladies’nights are set up to attract more men, because there are likely to be more women.

[supercat]

Which would most men rather attend: a night when ladies' drinks were half-price and men's drinks cost double, or one where men's drinks were half-price and ladies' drinks cost double?

The "ladies' night" drink discounts are given to benefit men seeking women.

[peggybac]

Think of it as Affirmative Action for women because we make much less money than men and we need a break when buying drinks just once in awhile. We’re oppressed in so many ways, please give us this one perk.

"If they outlaw ladies' nights, how will we swinging guys meet the foxes with their big American breasts?"

[Philistone]

He’s GAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[Jimmy Valentine]

"New York attorney Roy Den Hollander"

= Loser a**ho*e!

Where does he think that guys go to meet girls. LADIES NIGHTS!

Let the disbarment proceedings begin. Barratry is stil against the law.

[Meatspace]

The lawyer is a killer now. A dead killer.
