When ladies' night isn't for all ladies

The writer's point of view is that he thinks that no matter how old a lady is, she should be allowed to qualify for the "Ladies' Night" as after all, she IS a female.

The local nightspot have the right to refuse women over 35 years of age, but they are not doing the right thing. No matter how old a lady is, she is still female and should be allowed to have the priviledge of "Ladies' Night". Even if a lady IS over 35 years old, she is still female, it is not like she changed sex and become a male, right? So I think the local nightspot should allow all females to enjoy the priviledge of "Ladies' Night" regardless of their age. Somehow, this kind of age discrimination should be stopped. It is really unfair.

It is true that older women face a "double whammy" on discrimination. Somehow, it is just this way. We tend to value older women lesser, but actually, we should value older women MORE as they have more knowledge, more experience. Compared to a woman of a younger age, they would have less problems when doing a particular job, thus an increase in efficiency.

Why don't men face the same problem? They SHOULD be facing the same problems if we are talking about common sense, but, this society tends to regard older men more favourably. Older men are usually better-off money-wise and probably regarded as sexually potent. Older women, however, are being regarded otherwise. I guess this explains it all.

I AM pretty sure that age discrimination is more prevalent than gender discrimination in Singapore. I once saw that the ticket of a TV Show, Music in the Air, only allows people under 35 years old to enter the studio. Why is is so that people over 35 years old is not allowed? Is it because the show's audience is more likely to be the younger generation? I guess, the answer is pretty obvious.

What would you do if a family member or relative tell you they could not get a job because they are too old or they preferred men, how would you respond?
Somehow, I must agree that it is harder for people over the age of 40 to get a job in this society nowadays. Companies would prefer people of the younger generation who are thought to have a 'higher efficiency'. Thus, I would tell the family member or relative to go to some job-finding programmes or something. There are a lot of programmes like this around.

TIME'S UP! Can't write anymore. Oops. (:
