A NYC court found that "ladies night" (hosted by many bars and clubs) was NOT sexist...???? ....hmmm....I'm not sure I agree, in fact I know I don't agree. It's not an issue that would get my fire burning, but when you think about it women are basically allowing themselves to be leveraged for some one else's financial gain...so yet again we are commodities. It would be so much different if there was a men's night, or a student's night, or teacher's night instead of just a night in which bar owners depend on women to show up in droves (tempted by the cheap booze) in order to attract men.. Some people say relax, chill out, who cares; if they are stupid enough to allow us to drink for free/cheap, then whatever...and i agree i'm not ready to boycott or smash windows, but its good to understand the meaning behind some of these things and stand up for ourselves. And if we are wanting a society that doesn't divide us according to gender, well then ladies night needs to be followed by mens night, or like I suggested, make it gender neutral.
