| | No one has mentioned the whole point of "Ladies' Night" at a night club:
To attract hordes of single, attractive ladies...whose presence, in turn, attracts hordes of single, attractive men eager to meet them and buy them drinks.
"Ladies' Night" at the clubs doesn't exist for chivalrous reasons..which is why I'm sort of surprised it's being challenged. It's always been a time-honored part of the mating dance between men and women! What the hell is wrong with this dude?
Wonder if there'd be any money in just opening up a 'Ladies Club' place that most males wouldn't be interested in (unless they had a Gentleman's Night)? (John D.)
Most Guys don't go out to see other guys, and most girls don't go out to see other girls. (And the ones that do already have Ladies' Only and Men's Only nightclubs, if you catch my drift.) So I'm not sure I'm following you here, John.
Now, I have seen "Ladies' Day" promotions at carwashes, and oil change places, and such. The reasons have to be different for offering such deals---guys don't go to Jiffy Lube to meet girls---I always assumed it was just some smart marketing strategy: "If none of the other garages are offering a similar deal, I can make Soccer Mom feel special on 'Ladies' Tuesdays' and she'll always bring her minivan into my shop"--- that kind of thing.
Of course, intent aside, all special considerations offered to specific groups would be fall under the same legal guidelines, like Bill Dwyer said, and could definitely include the discounted coffee for senior citizens at McDonald's. I'm just surprised that someone went after a nightclub example, not a Jiffy Lube example first, I guess. The men in the nightclubs aren't exactly being harmed...there is something in it for them, after all: more women in attendance. ;-)
(Which is the point.)
