Then why don’t they give the men free drinks as well? You can’t have anti discrimination laws (can’t discriminate in goods and services based on sex, in particular) and then pick and choose when you want to apply it.

What if they had “African Americans Drink Free Night”? All blacks drink for free while whitey pays full price?

How about “Jews Drink Free”, let the Christians pay the overhead of the bar.

How about “Twenty Somethings Drink Free”, let the old geezers pay for the kids free booze.

Can’t pick and choose, it’s all equal for everyone or no one.

Well said.

Wish that your post was SCOTUS precedent!

It is not discrimination if they benefit also. It is just that they benefit differently.

This is all very stupid.

The "Blacks drink free night" would be different in that it doesn't benefit non-blacks too. This isn't difficult. It is so obviously not about discrimination that only a nearly insanely immoral generation would be unable to figure it out. Used to be, men liked women and they bought the ladies drinks a good lot of the time. Even when they didn't buy, they benefited from the presence of more women. I would think "ladies night" was originally a man's idea.

Good story...A few years ago, New Jersey banned "ladies nights" on discrimination grounds. Several shore-area bars subsequently ran "free admission if you're wearing a bra" nights.
