Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Georgia
Gender Discrimination?
Wednesday nights here in Atlanta has become ''Ladies Night'' at most of the local bars...women either get free drinks or drinks at half-price...and there is not a corresponding ''Gentlemens Night''. I understand why this is done, of course. As a bartender friend crudely puts it: ''You attract the women, and the men will sniff 'em out!''
But isn't this blatant gender discrimination, that would not hold up in court?

Re: Gender Discrimination?
It is certainly gender discrimination, but not all GD is prohibited by the law. In some instances in which there is a clear reasonable basis upon which to discriminate, one may do so. The men who sued to be wait-persons at Hooters, for example, lost. This may be such a case, and the one who sues will not be wildly popular with either men or women.
