people should have the right to do what they want

Not really. I think you would be upset if the store charged you more for the same thing as the next guy. In simple terms, it is an un american practice.

yes, but there will always be people that are fair, if a guy want to rent a jetski to his girlfriend for fifty an hour, and to me for two hundred, then tough luck for me, I can find another place that will rent them to everybody for only 150.

Actually it isn't the same thing. It would be more difficult to cut and style coarse, wiry hair than straighter, finer hair. I have long, thick hair, kind of coarse in texture. I get charged more for a hair cut at the beauty salon than a woman with short hair. It's more work to cut and style my hair than to do someone's shorter hair.

So i now have the right to file lawsuits against brand name makers because they charge mote than the generic store brand?

Who are you to judge that I can't spend my money more if I wish for a premium brand or less for the crappy version. Who are you to make me a slave to make premium brands for the price of generic versions. That's American? You must mean pre Civil War American.

Blacks had a right to shop for bargains where they can find them. Salon keepers have a right to charge what the market will bear and a right to charge more if the effort is greater. Nothing in the article says that working on black's hair is the same effort it takes to work on a white's hair.

Do you feel that it's an un-American practice for women to be charged more than men to have their hair cut, even though it may take considerably longer to cut a woman's hair?

It happens all the time. One guy, one price -- next guy, different price. Old folks get a senior citizens discount. Are you upset over that? A lot of places give a military discount for active duty military. Is that un-American?
