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?
No, I do not think so. Are not women over 35 ladies? Was not "ladies night" orginally introduced just for ladies? If not, why is it called "ladies night", not something else like "younger-ladies-only night"? What can be done is changing the society's perception of women. Questions like the above should be asked. Women have come a long way since the ancient times when feet of women were bound in China. I wonder why the society discriminate older women as Singapore is a modern country. We are not sexists and women have rights and some are even more powerful than men today. There SHOULD be laws against such discrimination. If not, the term "human rights" should be redefined.
