News Flash: Arizona State Attorney General lets Women Use The Better Grill At Country Club
Submitted by anthony on Sun, 2009-01-25 07:02
Story here. Call this a hard earned victory for all women facing kitchen amenity discrimination. I wonder if Congress with pass the Equal Grill Act? Excerpt:
"State Attorney General Terry Goddard said Wednesday that his discrimination lawsuit against the club had been settled out of court. The settlement requires the club to allow women into its men's grill and men into its women's grill when both re- open next month after renovations.
The club issued a statement saying that the settlement doesn't mean it had agreed with the accusations and that it didn't accept liability in the dispute. But the club said it agreed to let both grills be open to all members and guests. Goddard said the men's grill has better amenities and is seen as a prime spot for business deals and networking.
The case was prompted by a complaint to the club's board by Logan and Barbara Van Sittert. The lawsuit says the couple, who declined to comment Wednesday, wrote to the board president asking that women be allowed in the men's grill."

And men in the women's grill, too!
Some progress, anyway. I find it ridiculous really that adults may want to have gender-based separation for otherwise non-intimate facility access, such as for services like banks, gyms (despite typical scanty workout clothing, there are in fact separate changing rooms), hotels, subway cars, etc. As we know, women-only versions of these things have popped up in various places around the world with the distinction driven largely by whatever the local feminists have going. At least this settlement says the two grill areas cannot be gender-segregated on both sides of the debate: men are allowed into the women's area, too. That's a good development. In the past, the separate area for women would have been maintained. I just wish it had gone to court with a ruling that said "separate but equal" for the sexes was inherently unequal, as ruled here in the US when the distinction was ethnicity.
Another Lawsuit Pending
I heard the men's room is 4.5 inches longer than the ladies room. From what I hear, the women are taking this case to the supreme court. {:

Sick of this BS excuse
Goddard said the men's grill has better amenities and is seen as a prime spot for business deals and networking.
We really need to put to rest this myth that business is conducted outside the office. It's used as an excuse to erode men's privacy. Enough is enough.
Women should accept that men
Women should accept that men need their own space, where they aren't going to get nagged and aren't liable to causing offense to some PC nasal hag that gets uppity at everything. What is it that women find so wrong with men having their own space? Is it a blow to their ego or something? And after the women have now forced the men to sit with the women are the men really going to want to do any business deals with a bunch of petty childish women?
My favorite hypocracy
What is it that women find so wrong with men having their own space?
If feminists had their way, it would be like Saudi Arabia but reversed: Women-only and "family" sections (where men+women+children can go). They can't stand clubs, bars, gyms, or any kind of area that discriminates against them but always justifies the reverse. They have entire organizations, Feminist-porn TV channels, easy-to-enter-if-you-have-a-vagina student clubs on colleges to pad their resume with, female-dominated workplaces that dedicate themselves to discrimination and preferential treatment that would rival any Old Boys' Club they bitch about during the meetings.
