ladies' night.

WHEN LADIES' NIGHT ISN'T FOR ALL LADIES.


What is the writer's point in this article?

The writer felt that it is unfair for the older women to be discriminated and not given the free drinks of Ladies' Night, that is promised by the nightspot. He thinks that older women should also be able to receive the same treatment and not be left out of anything just because of their age.

He wanted to raise this awareness and let the older women think over this, and maybe bring this up in court, as this sort of discrimination is not yet recognised by our local laws.


Does the local nightspot have a right to refuse women over 35 the free drinks on ladies night? If yes, isn't this discrimination? If no, what can we do about it? Should there be laws against such discrimination?

The nightspot does have the right to refuse women over 35 the free drinks on Ladies Night as it is their own business and they can do anything they like. But, this would be discrimination towards the older ladies. The nightspot will slowly lose their appeal to the crowd as many would not be pleased on this 'rule'. There should laws against such discrimination as this is also a kind of discrimination and should be dealt with according as well.


How true is it that older women face a "double whammy" on discrimination? Why don't older men face the same discrimination?

It is true that older women face a "double whammy" on discrimination. They face discrimination for being a woman, and now they face discrimination for being an old woman. It is very unfair for the old women. They were discriminated when they were young, and now they get another discrimination when they are old. They would be treated as 'no values' like they are already useless. Older men does not face such discrimination as severely as the older women. They would be considered to be most successful when they get older. People thought that women's prime age would be the 20s, while the men's would be older. Thus, older women face a "double whammy" on dirscrimantion.
