No More Ladies Night Discounts in Jersey

I get NY channels through my satellite TV feed and I've been marvelling at how some are very upset that a New Jersey court has decided its gender bias that women pay less to drink at some bars some nights as part of ladies' night. You can sort of imagine why they do that.

Myself, I've always hated the "ladies night" concept. Granted, I'm not much of a bar fan anyway unless I'm with a good group of friends (alcohol is not a favorite vice). But the whole idea always rankled me, just as the fact that I usually paid more than males for my dry cleaning and my simple haircuts.

So forgive me if I don't shed a tear for women who will now have to pay full price to drink in Jersey. A change in the rules just makes sense.
