Not EVERY male club in the country – there’s still that one golf club where they have the Masters (or whatever golf event that is) – just all the ones not populated by the wealthy and politically connected.

“Now I wish the guy luck on his endeavor.”

That and women’s only health clubs. Time for some payback in my opinion after they sued and broke up every male club in the country.

There was a lawsuit against Les Schab Tire in Oregon a few years back because they advertised to fix flats for ladies for free. If I remember right they lost, but nothing much changed because they fixed flats on their tires for free for anyone. They just stopped advertising it. Public sentiment was definitely on Schwab’s side in the whole stupid event.

I would pay a nickel extra for a beer without Roy Den Hollander around.

I originally thought that this guy was a kook out to try to make a fast buck, then I remembered an article I just read about Title IX and how it has been used by the feminists. Now I wish the guy luck on his endevour.

See, Tim, there you go — I really don’t know how bars “work.” I’ve always liked women to make their choices about me sober. I haven’t always appreciated those choices, but… we digress.

Jimbino, if it is illegal discrimination, it is against men in general. I think homosexual men know places where they can go to get drinks without having to rub elbows with chicks.

As to men who just want to chat, well, there’s nothing wrong with that, either, I suppose. But aren’t there a lot of bars where they don’t have special deals for women?

New York just caught on to this legal theory? They probably learned it from this loser in Colorado.

You missed a slight detail. Even if men and women were highly price inelastic and showed up in equal numbers regardless of their own drink prices, you’d still see this effect, as the men want the women to be drunk, and will frequent bars with free drinks for women, while the women generally want the men reasonably sober, and will frequent establishments with higher prices for men.

Latest in a long line of dumb lawsuits over Ladies’ Night.

Wisconsin doesn’t appear to enforce the ban in Milwaukee…
