'Ladies Nights' OK'd by appeals court

Minnesota banned Ladies' Night a few months back. Some companies started talking about having "skirt & heels" night or "shaved legs" night, to essentially have ladies' night without discriminating by gender... though that will probably draw a lot of cross dressers and drag queens.

So if they can charge more (or less) based on one's gender, what about one's race? From a discrimination perspective the two seem very similar.

Whats especially awesome about this thread is that many of the MR's posters are also /r/libertarian people too...seems like ya'll should be in favor of this ruling, after all, its private business right!?

It does not matter whether the nightclubs charge males or females or blacks or Latins or any other identifiable group more for admission—it is now constitutional.

I'm waiting with bated breath for the first bar that uses this precedent and charges blacks more for entry.

I support this. Private business wants babes around their clientelle.. seems fine to me.

Wow guys, its a private business. If you're truly in favor of libertarian freedoms, which I imagine many of us are, then you should support the right of a private business to charge whomever they want whatever they want. Do you really want the government telling you how to price your business?

Cheaper drinks for ladies... awesome. All the easier for date rape ;)

I don't particularly agree with the practice, but something that I think a lot of people don't realize is that its a marketing scheme. The businesses aren't discriminating against males because of their gender, they don't think that males are any worse, it's simply that it's good for business to attract female customers. More often than not, men aren't actually paying more, women are just paying less, meaning that men would be paying the same damn price regardless of what the women do. It's a business. It is a stupid stupid practice, but that's the way it is. And I would have the same stance if the roles were reversed.

Second of all - get over it. There are a lot of bigger issues to fight for in the realm of men's rights right now. Custody rights, divorce rights, wages, job availability, and just a general view of trust from the public are all bigger issues than this. People are bitching because it costs more to go to a place where they are willing to pay four bucks for a bottle of beer? This is a waste of time and it makes the mens rights movement look petty. There are serious problems to deal with.

Get over it.
