HOSED!

Jesus Christ ... how PC can we get as a society?

Some people don't have enough to do in life so they come up with crap like this. Or maybe they're such pathetic losers they need exploits such as this so-called human rights offense to feel better about themselves?

@ B-man: I see the promotion as just that..a promotion. How much you want to bet that the ladies getting 2 for 1 share with the man they are with or just met? 

Pretty soon these lawyer-types will tell us which direction to wipe our butts because we can't figure it out on our own. My brother-in-law is a lawyer and he'd be leading the pack! No hugs for him!

And with Happy Hour, we better also ban daily specials and drink specials since those promotions discriminate against certain days of the week and certain drinks, respectively.

Well, while I agree that this is a bit ridiculous, I recall some old "ladies drink free" or cheap nights at the old Tap Room and it was painfully obvious that there were sketchy men hanging out there, just waiting for the ladies to get blasted so that they could try to take them home. Or accost them in the bathrooms, or in the parking lot. I know a number of women who were taken advantage of because of this. Perhaps they shouldn't have gotten so schnockered that they didn't know ass from face, but still... there could be a predatory element involved, to be sure.

I was in a bar a number of years ago in Maple Grove that had to change ladies night into "Skirt the Law Night" because they had outlawed ladies nights.  Anyone in a skirt drinks 2 for 1 and there were three guys in kilts (friends of the owners).

Sex is a protected class under all human rights laws for providing goods and services.  It is no more acceptable to discriminate on the basis of sex than any other class, which are usually  race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, age, sex, marital status, family status and disability.  If you tried to charge blacks more than whites, Jews more than Christians, etc., for drinks in your bar, you would be in trouble. 

Early bird specials are not discriminatory based on protected classes, and neither are children's menus as human rights laws invariably apply to persons who have reached the age of majority, with few exceptions.
