Preferential treatment due to gender is starting to become started by certain groups and jow being exploited by others for via lawsuits.

Personally, I dont care. But its funny that treating people as equals gets in the way of something like ladies night.

I do believe some cities have banned ladies nights at bars which gave them cheaper drinks to show up. I recall a few years back haircutting business began charging the same forr men and women. This is equality, deal with it.

The haircuts thing definitely isn't a thing in the UK. Women pay a lot more, but this is because women can be in the hairdressers for hours having something done that takes years of training to do. Women here can go into men's barbers and get a trim for £5 which does happen. 

Equality just means everyone has the same legal rights, there's a market for ladies nights, there isn't for men's nights. The only people that complain wouldn't have even gone in if it wasn't a ladies night and just looking for things to be offended by. 

Well the thing is I cant control what gender I am, per se. Unless you believe in the gender is fluid thing...

So it becomes a legal issue when women can pay less simply for something people cant control. Where is the equality in that? Your argument is valid for why business do ladies night, but its not equality. Does a man claiming to be a woman pay less as well? Or does the bar decide radomly? That could be a potential lawsuit.

Haircutting business in the US like Great Clips and Super Cuts had flat prices for basic haircuts. But it was a few dollars more for women given their styles are more complex, time consuming, etc. But what if some lesbian wanted a basic haircut for a man? Obviously you should charge the male rate. And perhaps vice versa! So they settled with a flat rate. Which made a simple mens haircut kinda expenisve.

These are modern problems in a more inclusive world.
