Guy sues NYC clubs "Ladies' Nights"
Roy Den Hollander has decided to become a defender of all men in NYC by lodging a discrimination lawsuit against Lotus, China Club, and other clubs in the Big Apple for their "Ladies' Nights," which offer women free or discounted admission and drinks.
In his lawsuit, Hollander has sought to represent all men over age 21 whih had entered one of the nightclubs since June 21, 2004, and been subjected to policies that provide discounts to women of the same age. Such policies violate the Constitution.
Club lawyers have called the lawsuit frivolous.

Is it really unfair for men to pay more for entering a dance club? Of course we want to have a good time, but it would be even better if a club had more ladies to mingle with or to ogle at. What can you do if you see more men than women? Leave, and find another club.
If you do not want to pay more, then I guess you're a cheapskate, and this does not make any real difference especially in a city like New York. So what if the lawsuit was successful, one result is that it will hurt couples because the guy would have to pay full price for two people, rather than one and one-half.
It could lead to the end of "Happy Hour" because that would discriminate folks who come to the clubs late at night. Or maybe it will get folks to start filing lawsuits against "early bird" specials at restaurants, or against "senior citizens" discounts.
Come on here, these are promotions designed to attract attendance (customers). It will not cause any undue emotional or mental strain.
It's a dumb lawsuit. I know the guy was trying to help, but I think he is going to hurt his chances with the ladies.

This is a complete and utter joke. I think clubs are doing the right thing, from a fiscal standpoint. Just become some blowhard decides that he wants to make a quick buck by suing them doesn't mean that clubs should stop doing this.
