any guy that pays that much to enter a club is an idiot. And it is discrimination on the basis of sex which should be illegal since it's illegal in every other instance. Double standards when it comes to women though.

"forced" seems a little overblown as it suggests he had little to no choice to enter the club.

This guy sounds like an asshole.

"If I'm hitting on some young girl at the club – and I won't be hitting on an older one because they don't look as good – if she knows how old I am I'm not going to be able to exploit her infinite capacity to delude herself into thinking I'm younger," he said.

Is it gender discrimination when hooters hires pretty young girls?

Ketsa · 2013-08-02T08:35:56+00:00

Just imagine a club where women need to pay 350 to enter.

LaughingTrees · 2013-08-02T13:59:45+00:00

what smart human in their right mind pays $350 to get into a club that other people get in for free? Just because you're MRA/MHRA (or any -ism for that matter), doesn't make you very bright. See OP's comment for an excellent review.

Just like to point out in the comments that while I believe it's ridiculous to have to pay $350 just to enter a nightclub while ladies got to enter free, I understand why it happens. And I do not think it's a human right's violation, but a discrimination issue, but a business is allowed to sell their product (in this case, a nightclub) to whomever they want.

Thoughts?

I have heard this guy on the TV before. He does not argue his points very well.

To feminists 'equality' means that men must be forced to give up every advantage and biology or society. Women, however, must not even be asked to give up their exemption from a cover charge.

This is why I will always hate the fuck out of feminism.

The article was light on details of the court's legal reasoning, so it is hard to judge whether the judge was prejudiced.

As a libertarian I support the businesses right to set discriminatory entry conditions (even on the basis of race). As an egalitarian I hold them in contempt. I resolve this by just not going to such places. I find the idea of going to a club to pick up "ladies" as about attractive as petting a tarantula, anyway.

YetAnotherCommenter · 2013-08-02T14:16:54+00:00

Yeah, I can't support this activist's actions.

That said, I won't support this nightclub. Or any nightclub like this.

I find it confusing how MR thinks being paid less for a job because you're male is outrageous , but having to pay more to enter a club because you're male is perfectly fine.

iloveyoujesuschriist · 2013-08-02T17:22:27+00:00

Who would ever entertain the notion of paying $350 to enter a club? The club may as well have said to the man, "Look, we don't want more guys in there, so fuck off." And that's probably what they meant.

The only way someone should be able to get in for free, is as followed:
Ratio: 1:6
The 1 can be either male or female, but is usually female. For every 6 males there happens to be 1 female, given this the need to increase female population to satisfy or bring in more males.
Upon the ratio changing, so should the amount of freebies.
Ration:3:6
Half the population is covered, so if there is 42 men in one bar then 21 women should be let in for free... Because lets be serious, who wants a sausage fest outside of a gay bar.
Now I have worked as a bouncer, and to be honest the above was easy to follow however with owners wanting a higher ratio of 5:6 or even 7:6, it can be extremely difficult to allow fair treatment in which women are almost always allowed free drinks or entrance to otherwise paid for even based on there attractiveness, given this though, if the amount of unattractive guys is fairly high, attractive men can get the same privileges.
Sadly while unfair, it is a critical need for management and can't be refuted, however 350$ should buy some nice single malt, and a few glasses at that. Not some watered down vodka.

I just want to point out here that there are male-only clubs in every major city in the US and many overseas. They are gay male sex clubs. Atlanta has at least two of them that I know of.

ttnorac · 2013-08-02T05:44:47+00:00

I'm glad he lost. I like private clubs to be able to run thugs however they like. It's why we have Hooters still.

bunker_man · 2013-08-02T13:14:16+00:00

You can't sue a club for charging what it wants for entry. It's a business that revolves entirely around selling females to males for sex. It can't function without the females. If you don't like it you should stop going. But if you go to this type of place, then ipso facto you approve of their business strategy due to what it provides for you.

Nutz76 · 2013-08-02T15:26:40+00:00

You cannot claim equality and have different prices based on race, religion, or gender. It's that simple.
