Discrimination In A Night Club

You Have Rights As A Worker. I Will Help Protect Them.
Denis ZilberbergMarch 2, 2019Discrimination

Social situations are hard to navigate sometimes. You enter a bar or nightclub and there are so many people it is hard to strike up a conversation. Now that the #Metoo and #Timesup movements are well established, some men are finding it hard to talk to a woman out of fear that they may offend a woman. The age-old battle of the sexes is still alive and well. Women and men are just humans, but the way society suggests women and men should be causes some confusion. Are women supposed to be only for men? Are men supposed to be the ones that pursue women? Are men supposed to pursue multiple women and are women only allowed to pursue one man at a time? Of course, this relates only to heterosexual or bisexual couples, but the question of gender equality was very present when a man went to create a class-action lawsuit against a night club for marketing free drinks for Ladies’ night.

The California man suing a hotel in West Lake Village is alleging that having a “Girls’ Night Out” is discriminatory against men. The night promises free drinks and appetizers to women and men would have to pay. The thought concept behind this is that when you have a lot of women frequenting a bar, men will want to go there to chase the women. The courts in California have already decided that you cannot have a gender-specific night. Maybe the hotel didn’t know that, but either way this discriminatory suit does have merit even though the basis for the girls’ night is really to encourage more men; as the original writer of the article suggests, the night is more predatory for women then discriminatory for men.

Regardless of what others may think about this battle for the sexes, the truth behind discrimination is that it really affects people in the workplace. People who work in environments where they experience a lot of discrimination typically do not stick around nor do they experience the recognition or opportunities for growth they deserve. Discrimination isn’t just about gender either. Discrimination is also about sexuality, age, pregnancy, ethnicity, mental disability, and physical disability. Discrimination can be as subtle as being overlooked project after project or as loud as an email being sent out suggesting that everyone only speak English. Whatever your discrimination looks like in the workplace, know that you are not alone.
