David seems happy at the decision of the state of New Jersey’s ban on Ladies’ Night, on the grounds that such promotions discriminate against men.
Give me a break! This is political-correctness gone way overboard.
What next? No more student or senior prices at the movies? No more youth tickets on trains?
*Sigh*.
Update: Whoops, that was Daniel who posted that opinion, not David. Apologies. By the way, read them both at Tainted Glass. (Plug, plug).
Asshat lawyers. Serve the interfering dogooders right if they never get laid again!
To be fair, it wasn’t David who did that post, it was I. The judgement was interesting mostly because it is one of the few times I have seen a discrimination case won when it was women who were advantaged… it increases the probability that Curves might actually be successfully sued for its refusal to admit men.
That said I have always been somewhat annoyed by women preference schemes at bars and clubs, they certainly are discriminatory.
The only reason they are accepted is because some men need them to get action that they otherwise couldn’t get with a non-drunk woman (which is kind of pitiful but that’s a whole other story). And of course, women aren’t opposed to it since they are the beneficiaries.
Sorry… I forgot to read who posted it. I’ll fix that straightaway.
P.S. Gotta disagree with you on the Curves thing too. If women need a place to work out where they won’t feel intimidated by men, then what’s wrong with that?
Make no mistake, there’s no limit to ‘politically correctness’.
The way I see it, political correctness is just rephrasing complete atheism as well approaching anarchy(for lack of a better word).
Who will decide what is ‘morally’ good or bad?
If ‘ladies nights’ is not legit, than what about cheap tuesdays and wednesdays (which working people can’t go to), or Saturday only sales at the Bay (which exclude Jews), and the ban on striking funeral service workers at laughing at funerals.
No end in sight.
Lost you on the connection between some of those, Josh.
What NORMAL male would object to increasing the per sq. ft. density of lewd and lascivious women at his favourite watering hole. “Hi I’m DaninVan, can I buy you a (FREE!) drink?”
Sh*t!! The penny just dropped; it’s those damn Gays who’re behind this lawsuit. They resent the competition.
(Of course, they resent just about everything, but that’s a different rant…)
If women need a place to work out where they won’t feel intimidated by men, then what’s wrong with that?
I know somebody who feels intimidated by jews. Can he open up a workout facility that doesn’t allow jews so that he won’t feel intimidated? What’s wrong with that?
Also, I get pretty intimidated when I see women on the golf course. Its embarrasing to screw up in front of them, and once a woman made a nasty hooting laugh when I got a 15 on a par 4. (The last part of the preceding is actually true). Can I open up a golf course that doesn’t allow those intimidating women in?
Actually, now that I think about it, only black women intimidate me. I’ll let the white ones in.
Knave; there aren’t enough Black women golfers in your neighborhood to make up a foursome. You could offer to caddy for the ladies; that’d be a hoot…
Well…eeekh…there are still men-only golf and private clubs for the good ol’ boys so….As for the post about Jews, well the analogy is incorrect…Jews would the…women(!)
