If they set aside space just for MEN, they’d get the hell sued out of them....

Funny how this all works, isn’t it?

I was about to ask if it included cross dressers.

walked in and soon noticed a garment back on the rack in the closet, and high heeled shoes on the floor

That happened to a collegue and I at a hotel right next to the Burbank airport.

“In other news the Warren, Pennsylvania Super-8 is reserving it’s third floor for men only during the 10-day Pennsylvania deer season.”

No, it’s because women don’t want to be around sissified men who stay in hotels during hunting season, and think “hunting” means baiting an animal, hiding in a tree, and shooting it.

Well goodie...Cracker Barrel and Denny’s thought it would be a great business move to deny blacks service.

Wish I lived closer...I’d go just to dare them to kick me out...then sue their pants off.

I agree 100% with you. It is a market and any business should be able to cater to it.

JERRY: What else did you two do?

ELAINE: Oh, I don’t know, you know, girlie stuff.

JERRY: Ah, so, ah, flower shows and, shopping for pretty bows, and then
back to her place, strip down to bra and panties for a tickle fight?

(Elaine stands there for a good 6 seconds with arms crossed, blank
expression, just looking at Jerry)

ELAINE: That’s really what you think girls do, isn’t it?

JERRY: Yes, I do. (very serious)

“You cannot deny a person services just because they are male or female,”


Do men really care if they don’t get an ionic hair dryer and bath products?

Do folks think there really ought to be a law against this? Men really aren’t being denied anything, except what, access to business babes?

Really much ado about nothing.

isn’t this more the “rosie o donald” floor than the women floor?

Just wait for the first case of violence on that floor from a rejected sexual advance.

I bet they will have a men only floor too before the law is done.

I am a woman and a business traveler. I cannot IMAGINE trying to bill my expense account for extra $$$ to be on “the girl’s floor”. If I am uncomfortable about eating out in a place, I call for some delivery and get a Coke from the vending machine.

For heaven’s sake, grow up!

I called Marriott’s Corporate Headquarters about this. They said to email Ms. Nicole Ruggiero at Quinn & Company (the PR firm handling this) at: nruggiero@quinnandco.com

I think you're confusing Pennsylvania with Texas, at least as far as the baiting is concerned. And a lot of guys hunt quite a distance from home, and it's nice to be inside at night, ya know? Sleeping on the ground in late November in Pennsylvania just isn't an option.

But aside that, it was supposed to be humor, who pissed in your cornflakes?

Sounds like Japan. There’s lots of “women only”, “men only” type stuff there, like “women only” train cars. I once used ther internet at a net cafe that charged men 50% more than women to use the computers.

I guess they’d have a heart attack if they had to share a bathroom with a guy, as frequently happens at military VOQs.

How do they conduct business if they are that intimidated? I’m no kid (51) but I was home raising babies for a long time before I went back to the business world and there is no excuse for that kind of timidity, especially from “modern” women!

” I think you’re confusing Pennsylvania with Texas, at least as far as the baiting is concerned.”

They don’t use deer pee in Penn?

“And a lot of guys hunt quite a distance from home, and it’s nice to be inside at night, ya know?”

Not quite the same as sitting around a campfire.

“Sleeping on the ground in late November in Pennsylvania just isn’t an option.”

Why not just play a hunting video game in the hotel?

It’s cold out in the daytime too.

Like I said... sissies... in camo.

“But aside that, it was supposed to be humor, who pissed in your cornflakes?”

Did I strike a raw nerve?
