New Jersey Bans Ladies Nights
Strike a blow against sexism: New Jerseyâs top civil rights official says bars may not discriminate against men by giving women discounts on ladies nights."Strike a blow" you say? The "important social policy objective of eradicating discrimination" trump businessesâ promotional efforts, J. Frank Vespa-Papaleo, director of the state Division on Civil Rights, ruled Tuesday. The decision carries the weight of a court and applies statewide. What next? The case was sparked by a complaint from David R. Gillespie, who had noted it was unfair for the Coastline nightclub in Cherry Hill to give women free admission and discounted booze but demand men pay a $5 cover charge and full price for drinks. Someone will remain dateless for a long, long time. Posted by: Dragon Fly 2004-06-02 |
