The woman insisted that the bar discriminated against her based on her sex.
If it wasn't that sad and that disgusting it would be actually fairly amusing.
Let's review this once more:
- There is a young woman who complains that she was discriminated in nightlife for being a young woman?
She was probably discriminated in nightlife for being a young non-pregnant woman before all the time. But for some reason that didn't bother her...
Yes, she was discriminated against. No, that whole protecting pregnant women/protecting yourself from being sued stuff is nonsense.
None the less she should either take a more general interest in fighting discrimination in nightlife or just stfu.
Also: We don't have the name of the place, let alone pictures?
First it's a nightspot, then it's a bar. I usually think of bars as "places without bouncers", but that's just me. What is it exactly?
Who the hell goes to a bar to drink water, especially when 8 months pregnant???
Me?
I'm not an ex-alcoholic, largely irreligious and perfectly able to digest alcohol.
Point taken. But isn't the woman responsible for what happens to herself? Why then, should the bar be worried?
Of course she is.
I'm trying to stick with what was probably the bars real reason to kick her out here: A pregnant woman is the wort possible decoration if want to sell lot's of alcohol to a young, hip audience with a vague hope for sex.
Assuming that the bar is not legally liable; Would you stop a woman you don't know who were trying to pour alcohol into her 1 year old kid?
Maybe. But i wouldn't stop a pregnant woman i don't know from drinking. And i'd be opposed to a law prohibiting to serve a pregnant woman alcohol.
You do realize that most bars are not violent over-crowded dangerous death traps right?
You are saying most. As i pointed out: We don't know the place.
Uh, bars and clubs kick people out all the time for stuff like being ugly... If this was anything other than your neighborhood Applebee's bar then this sounds completely normal and expected (though as others have pointed out the state/city may have some other rules about bouncers/private establishment rules and I don't know enough about local precedent/law). I too would wonder why a pregnant woman would want to be there in the first place too.
Ideally the bouncer shouldn't have even let her in in the first place though.
Yeah if you're wearing the wrong shirt or something you might not even get in. It seems they can practice discrimination all they want.
This is an interesting case and I wonder if it would have implications elsewhere, like purely subjective dress codes or not being as attractive as the bouncer wants. No bar or club I've been to has ever had their dress codes or attraction levels clearly posted. Never.
Finally.
