We've always been a bit torn about the idea of ladies' nights at clubs, where members of the fairer sex get in for free if they show up by a certain time, while the men pay in full no matter when they want to come in.

On the one hand it seems like a sleazy way to get women to show up early enough to get drunk and go home with guys who are paying for the privilege. But on the other hand, well, we get in for free! Just for having a vagina! But it turns out we're not the only ones with mixed feelings about this. Apparently some men are all huffy about what they're calling "anti-male gender bias."

Actually, men have been getting huffy about this for years--hence the so-called Ladies' Night law that has been passed in a number of states. California, Colorado, Iowa, and Pennsylvania have all outlawed ladies' nights, while Illinois and Washington courts found that they were a perfectly permissible means of attracting "desired customers." Yes, they mean customers with vaginas.

The latest state to wrestle with the issue is Nevada, where a prospective member of the Las Vegas Athletic Club gym is mighty pissed off that his wife got offered a cheaper sign-up rate than he did, not to mention access to special women-only areas of the gym. You know, because she has a vagina. So he's asking the Nevada Legislature to prove they meant it when they officially banned sex discrimination in 2005. If he wins, it'd be a major bummer for Vegas casinos like the Hard Rock Hotel, whose Body English nightclub recently held the promotion "ladies dressed in schoolgirl outfits drink free Champagne all night."

Well, good to luck to you sir, and may you make our dreams come true. Because we would pay big bucks to attend a nightclub that offered free entrance to any man who was dressed as a Catholic schoolgirl. Drink up, boys, it's time for your spanking...

Wow, all I have to say is men crying wolf about 'Ladies Nights' don't seem to mind that they still make considerably more in the workforce as well as get further faster professionaly. Women have had to work for a long time and have fought very hard to gain equal footing, so we deserve a free drink now and then. Men still get cheaper haircuts, they should just consider it even.
