Is "Ladies Night" really gender discrimination?

The Minnesota Department of Human Rights has filed gender discrimination charges against five Twin Cities bars, alleging that they violated the rights of men everywhere—by holding ladies’ night. “Gender-based pricing violates the Human Rights Act,” the commissioner tells the Star-Tribune, vowing to pursue every complaint received about on the matter. The state tried a similar crackdown back in 1994, but most bars shrugged and kept the cheap drinks flowing.

“It isn’t a matter of wanting to discriminate. If you’ve got 200 ladies, you have 400 men,” says a Tavern League of Minnesota official. “This is just a marketing niche.” The previous head of the Human Rights Department said he too sees no problem with the promotion. “It is on its face discriminatory,” he said, “but on a practical level, it’s a little bit of ‘Who cares?’”

Evidently one man has complained numerous times over the last 15 years. And he is from Utah not Minnesota.

What kind of man would complain about women getting drunk before the men get in and don't have to spend any money on getting them drunk?

That would be a gay man. Not just a gay man, but a gay man with nothing better to do than bitch.

I know the men have spend 20 bucks to get in the door, but at least the women are buzzed. So you save money in the long run and you already look better to them...sounds like a win win to me.

I've always wondered why it was legal to do that...but didn't complain.

Last place I would ever go is a Ladies Night at a bar. More Ed Hardy/Affliction wearing douche's than girls.

When I worked in an auto garage many years ago we had a ladies day every Wednesday where they could get an oil change for $15.00. We got sued for discrimination and had to stop. Still see it at car washes and such.

Women love getting their oil checked.

i believe there should be at least 3 hours a day everyday where the women are getting wasted. it would make my life so much more tolerable... and my amateur pron venture so much more lucrative.

Think graphic tees that look like someone's splattered ink and tattoos all over them.

I knew this would happen sooner or later. I assume it the Gay community.
