it's a private club, and i agree with the sentiment that private businesses should be able to do business however they please.

most feminists would also agree with such sentiments (at least, that's how i see most feminists trying to rationalize this type of discrepancy), except when it comes to "equal pay for equal work." then it becomes a lobbying purpose for them.

It's a private entity, which is clear evidence the patriarchy is everywhere /s

It's so the place doesn't end up being a giant sausagefest.

I've heard of people just buying the female ticket, and pulling the whole "gender identity" card. Of course it is a private business, and they charge whatever they want, and kick whoever they want out, but it is still blatant discrimination.

Why shouldn't it?

Demanding that the government disallow differential pricing by gender is no different from demanding that the government disallow differential wages by gender.

Generally, it is not illegal to price-discriminate. Seniors and students get discounts. Ladies get cheaper car insurance and club covers.

Men get cheaper dry cleaning, if that helps :)

The whole club scene is stupid anyways. You'll do better trying to meet girls at restaurants or on teh intarnets. just not on reddit...

I dunno if I think this is a problem here... I enjoy more women around me in night clubs... that low price for women will mean that there are more women and that some guys will pay that higher price to look for there chance to hookup. Its a private club, and the whole concept of the selling point of a club is the atmosphere which includes, what type of attire, music, theme, lighting, and finally how sexy the club is to the big spenders who are the guys in this case. Iv been to clubs that have way more men than women and vice versa, the club owners just want to even maximize profits.

Women are the product they are selling.

Its because its good for business to have more women than men in the club. And its a private company, they can charge what ever the hell they want.

EDIT:Spelling

The fact of the matter is that generally people like to be around women more than men at parties and events like this. If there are more men than women then people won't be happy. If there are more women than men, or even an equal number, people are more happy.

Personally I believe that as a private buissines if I want to hire only female I can do that. I could also hire only males. Or pay males seventy percent what I pay females. Or vice versa.
