"Ladies Night" Declared Illegal In Minnesota

aapold writes "The Minnesota Dept of Human Rights has ruled that Ladies Night bar promotions are illegal in Minnesota, as it violates gender discrimination laws. This stems from a 1994 incident where a bar patron was angered at having to pay a cover charge during such an event and filed a lawsuit."

    Don't most bars already get around this by admitting anyone in a miniskirt for free?

    The joke I heard was on the comedy channel. It was a female comedian. "Who gets to make fun of who?"
    "It's actually really simple."

    I think it's a good thing to admit women to traditionally all-male events. Nobody likes being stuck at a sausage party.

    Still wondering when /. will allow women to register, comment and vote in polls.
