http://womenonlyweekends.com/. This women-only tour is supported by the New York State Department of Economic Development. My tax dollars as a NY State resident is contributing to this blatant discrimination. "No Guys, No Dishes, No diapers' appears on their home page. Oprah Winfrey's endorsement appears on the home page.

Note the disclaimer at the bottom of the home page:

"'I Love NY' is a registered trademark and service mark of the
New York State Department of Economic Development; used with permission.

If this agency is using the big apple logo, their recognized by the state."

Such blatant discrimination is nothing new for the state of New York. Cases in point in New York City alone:
- the "NY♥♀" on NYC taxicabs.
- the NYC Commission on Women's Issues (with no equivalent organization for men, of course).
