Matter o'fact:
Turns out that judges in Pennsylvania and Iowa have already banned "ladies nights", but "courts in Illinois and Washington state have said that ladies nights are permissible because they do not discriminate against men but rather encourage women to attend."
From It's Ladies Night--Unless You're in Jersey. I won't give you the details, as they're quite appallingly stupid. Instead:
- feministing.com
- Pinko Feminist Hellcat
- ms.musings
Which links Between Planets at City Pages, where "[s]even local women [SF&F] writers talk about creating their own worlds - and the problems with life on Earth."
- Trish Wilson's Blog
I remain diplomatically silent, and toss in a list of random links having nothing to do with anything.
There may also be one or two links to sites by women in the Very Long List o'Links over to the right, only included so no one accuses me of being sexist.
Update-y thingee: Added the link to the City Pages piece, which reminded me that I managed to miss Wiscon last weekend, and rearranged the links a bit.
I got that mailed to me by a lawyer friend who knew I'd moved to NJ. I'm not sure what my opinion is objectively (from a feminist point of view) but given that I normally only go to bars to see bands, it's not something I have a personal attachment to.
Ginger, I'm just wondering who would have the time and money to pursue this in court. And what on Earth they thought they'd accomplish if they won. I will, however, refrain from engaing in idle speculation.
Bet he drives an SUV.
Ok, most idle speculation.
I bet he got shot down a lot at bars on Ladies' Nights.
Maybe "refrain" isn't the word I was looking for there.
All I know is there's a lawyer involved somewhere ...
