Either you truly believe in equality between genders, or you don't. It would seem a lot of people on here don't.
I have nothing against Ladies Night at shooting ranges, bars, bowling alleys.etc. These are once a week promotional events. What really irks me is police officers getting discounts and preferential treatment every day just because of their job. That's why I don't shoot at my local indoor range. Nothing against the cops but they are no better than me. I already pay for their toys and salaries. Don't expect me to subsidise their recreation time too.
Flame suit on. Tell us how hard your life is and why you're special.

I expect THE GOVERNMENT to give all citizens equal protection under the law.
This is a private business; they have (or SHOULD have, IMO) the right to choose their clients. I have the right to choose to frequent a business, or not. Free country, free market capitalism at work, your mileage may vary.
It is not absurd, it is fact. Discrimination based on sex is sexism, regardless of intent or reason. And offering a discount to females only, promotion or not, is sexist.It is absurd to consider a once a week promotional deal to increase business in an underrepresented group that is also the fastest growing group of shooters to be sexist.

A more relevant question would be, is sexism always bad?
Ladies Day is the equivilant of Midway Ammo $20 coupons ... or the birthday discount. It's just a promotional thing.

He has filed frivilous lawsuits in the past.Does the jackwagon go around suing every bar/club too?
I think that is quite a leap.What if the gun store had a "White People Shoot Free Day"?
