					<description><![CDATA[Wasn&#039;t there a lawsuit a few years ago where hair stylists in NY were told they couldn&#039;t charge men and women different prices, even though the argument was that women&#039;s hair takes longer to cut and are generally more intricate styles?

In the long run, think about what this decision means...

Someone doesn&#039;t have to blatantly discriminate against someone, they can just charge them more.  Don&#039;t want an ethnic group in your restaurant?  Charge them more!  The judge said that businesses have the right to charge as they choose.

Want an all male gym?  No problem.  Charge men a $50 membership fee and women a $1000 fee. 

Want to limit who can rent an apartment?  No problem-o.  Charge the people you don&#039;t want in more than you charge everyone else.  

All would be consistant with the judge&#039;s ruling that a company &quot;can price their products as they wish because they&#039;re not acting as representatives of the state.&quot;]]></description>
