ladies' night is dumb

It seems that at least in a few states in the US suing a bar over 'ladies night' isn't stupid. I doubt that anyone was awarded $$$ for damages though.


You are correct, comparing " macdonald's fat suit to charging different prices based on sex, " is ridiculous, typical mixing of " apples and oranges".

and yes, men have been awarded damages, in California, everytime a business denies equal accomodation based on sex, they have to pay $5,000 dollars or more in damages, dependiong on how stupid the bar/club got with the patron.

I live in Ontario, Canada. It is ILLEGAL for establishments to serve free liquor to anyone--even the casino is rquired to charge for drinks. There is a minimum drink price that every bar in Ontario must charge: i.e. two bucks is the cheapest price at which establishments in Ontario are permitted to sell a beer. Further, the act governing alcohol states that ALL PATRONS must pay the same amount for drinks--so no ladies night allowed. There is also NO HAPPY HOUR allowed-- so no selling two drinks for the price of one.

I don't think this has much to do with either sex whining about the unfairness of it all; I believe the purpose of enacting these laws was to promote responsible drinking and to discourage impaired driving, especially after the "happy hour" scenario.
