Oh, It’s a Ladies Night – Oh What a Night!
Last month, Steve Horner — an anti-feminist asshole in Colorado — won a battle against a nightclub, Proof’s, when the Division of Civil Rights for the Department of Regulatory Agencies agreed that men were unfairly discriminated against with the hot spot’s Ladies’ Night special.
“Ladies Night is now illegal,’’ said Horner, a 59-year-old corporate speaker, who says he’s been on an anti-feminist crusade since his wife left him with two young children several years ago and he regularly encountered discrimination against men.Horner vowed to catch any club owners who continue to offer women special deals.
“This is now a violation of law. I will now make it a point to visit as many ladies nights as I can every week. I’ll have my rights violated, then I’ll sue them in county court and collect my $500 (each time),’’ Horner said. “I feel it could net me $3,000 to $4,000 a week easy and I’m going to do it. It takes me five minutes to be discriminated against.”
This is not Horner’s first success, either. He has shut down Ladies Nights in three other states: Minnesota, Idaho, and Oregon. Though, in all three states, the practice re-emerged.
Last week, the good folks on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show covered the lawsuit, with the in-depth, hard-hitting report, “Sexual Stealing” (hat tip to Overlawyered):
