Is it legal to discriminate by gender? One gender must pay, and the other is allowed in free. What would people say if it was by race? One race must pay, and another is allowed in free. What are the consequences of allowing night clubs to discriminate? Does it enforce a stigma? Are ther any organizations that speak out against this?
You are either a guy envious of the women at ladies night, or a hyper- feminist. Don't you see that it is just a tool used to get moer people into clubs? If ladies get in free, there are likely to be more of them in there. This brings in more guys than usual who must pay, therefore the clubs make more money.
having to pay when women don't definitely makes me feel discriminated against....but then again, when was the last time a girl bought you a drink at a bar?
Yes. But more than that, it's also a "crime" that one must report to the authorities and be willing to bring criminal charges against the club. We've had numerous people bitch n' moan about it here, but no one has actually brought criminal charges against any club yet. Baron Max
Talking of Clubs and Discrimmination, what about 4 blokes or more trying to get in a Club together? A lot of Clubs will turn you away because they think you will be trouble. We always use to have to split up and enter seperatley. Cool Skill what you are saying is def discrim, in the UK we have had cases of free swimming for over 65 Males and over 60 females. This is because of the diff retirement ages for the males and females and I believe that Discrim was proved in these cases.
I think you always find that Clubs that have to put on these offers are normally not worth going too anyway.
Yes, it's what I call "Legalized Discrimination"! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Baron Max
It's kinda dumb to think of this as discrimination. The club is attempting to make money, not exercise some sort of gender superiority tactic. Maybe you're wanting to discuss whether or not using women (assume you're talking about ladies right?) as bait can be considered exploitation.
What exploitation? They are paid by a free entry. For that they attract many more customers. Like any other advertisment which uses a pretty girl.
Yeah, I know whatcha mean. I have no problem with this local club that only allows white people and not blacks because they know they'll make more money off the whites than the blacks. Nothing wrong with it since they're just trying to make more money, not some sorta race superiority tactic. I love that club too because I'm around a lot of whites and hardly any blacks just like with normal clubs, I'm around more women rather than it becoming some sausage fest. Sheesh, greed and capitalism has an excuse for everything! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! /sarcasm - N
Nothing naturally needs an excuse, we ourselves invent the concept as a fancy of redemption. And we invent that something needs an excuse in the first place - a sign of some morality. If there is no morality, no excuse is needed whether it is capitalism, communism or anarchy. And morality in itself is an artificial and subjective concept, although I'm not saying it doesn't have its' merits.
Is targeted advertising discrimination? Many girls wouldn't go if it weren't for the incentive. The better question is: why waste time hanging around those places?
Maybe we should rename this thread "Gender Reassignment at Night Clubs" Would this lead to females getting in for free but having to pay to leave?
Exactly-- the female patrons radiate sex, and increase the profit of the club. At the same time though, the women are doing a service for the club that makes lots of money, and don't really get a cut. Getting in for free is a fair exchange? Heck- the club makes enough money WITHOUT making a huge chunk of the patrons (the women) pay to get in, it's not like the cover charge is even worth anything. The context of your analogy is close-- but only in the concept of having a policy in place that promotes profit based on the clientele. If I were to use your line of logic, then the club also "discriminates" against all broke people by charging money to get in.
It can be said to be a quite legal, voicless deal. If both parties agree to the terms with no objections and it's not against a law, then there's nothing wrong, i.e., the women don't usually complain or demand to pay for the ticket. And besides that, nobody forces them to go to clubs.
