51. hmm, why would anybody complain

Also, why complain if he's offering a service for free to a certain gender?

How about to a certain race? Religion? Ethnicity? Free admission for white Christians; $129 for Jews.

Hmmmmm ...

You've heard of "principles"?


It's no different than "Ladies Night" happening once a week at nearly every Lounge in the world. (My shooting range actually has Ladies Night)

I guess your shooting range isn't in New Jersey.

Think of it as affirmative action for participation to encourage the typically minority gender.

I'll think of it that way when the "minority" sex is actually shown to be at some historic disadvantage when it comes to access to the services in question, and when there is an affirmative action program approved by whatever agency has the authority to approve it.

For now, I'll just think of it as typical patronizing crap designed to keep MEN happy by making sure there is a nice supply of women around. Just like Ladies' Night.
