We’re going to go right back to square one on women’s rights, as it appears that women must continually be protected from men by men.

Let's see - instant fines.

Somebody could pretend to be a policeman that just happens to be standing nearby where there is a woman provocatively dressed who just happens to know the fake policeman.

Time to ban women in bars. Much too dangerous.

A drink is cheaper than dinner.

Lefties are incapable of conceiving of unintended consequences. The end result of govt oppression is more disorder not less.

In Chicago, we used to call it, “Holding court in the street.” But it was always a personal transaction between citizen and copper.

Back in the 50's and 60s, my dear departed Dad was a bar owner. He would not allow unescorted women in his bar.

His philosophy: "Women alone in a bar is nuthin' but trouble!"

Hard to imagine, but it was never even challenged back then.

There were taverns in Boston during the 40s and 50s that wouldn’t allow women in at all.

In Canada back in the ‘50s and early ‘60s, the two entries to a tavern or beer parlour were labelled “Gentlemen” and “Ladies and Escorts”.

Good times...
