Law Professor Files Complaint over Women-Only "Wonder Woman" Showing

When an election becomes "who is the least hated among the two candidates," the SJWs that rigged the Democratic party to make the very much hated Hillary Clinton their candidate have themselves to blame. The writing was on the walls, they could have chosen a less hated candidate (i.e. Bernie Sanders), but their SJW agenda said Hillary must become the first female president, and that was their downfall.

Sometimes the best way to show how stupid some people are being is to serve them a drop of their own medicine.

Part of the point of this whole thing is that the law cannot be variably applied depending on who is carrying out the action. To ensure equality under the law, it must be blind to everything except what is covered in the law. If you want to let a business owner choose who they want to serve, then no one should complain when a business refuses to bake a cake for a same sex couple. If society wants to reject that business, they can vote with their wallets. However, the law says no discrimination, and that has to be applied both ways.

that's the thing. In our society when it comes to men and how we should feel it very much is "Man the fuck up and get over it". Most of us don't give a shit....I don't give a shit if they had a womans only night. But it is kinda ironic when the big equality word is put out but there are further steps for segregation and stuff and equality is completely ignored. I do think this is probably technically illegal, though it doesn't bother me.
 
Next, football games for thin white heterosexual female in the age 18-25 because yeah.

The point is that noone sane actually wants to hold a men only screening of anything. And those that would want need to be committed. So what does that say about a women only screening? Yes, shrieking third wave feminists who think equality is to inflict as much hurt and insults at men as humanly possible. And not just stupid sexist men, but any man for the sole crime of being a man.

This isn't about making a statement for equality though. The theater in question does all sorts of things like this. They've done specialty screenings for veterans and the disabled too.

The only people turning this into a "WAAAAAAH FEMINISTS!" are the people who haven't bothered to look up what this cinema actually does.

That might have something to do with centuries of women being denied access to basic things like the vote, or social status, rather than because those men were just having a "boys night".

Golf clubs are a prime example - there are still Golf clubs that deny women the right to become full members. There's no justification for it, they just do. That's a far fucking cry from doing a women's only screening at a cinema that also does veterans only screenings and othersuch.

Private club or Public club? You do know the difference right?

And in your mind centuries of discrimination must be answered by more discrimination?
 
Since many here don't understand the difference, the law treats private membership clubs completely different from public businesses. You cannot compare the two as the law does not treat them the same.

Legally speaking, he is right and they are going to have to settle or lose.

Beyond that, the entire debacle is stupid and honest to god who the fuck cares? Personally I think businesses should be allowed to do whatever they want and if the public at large doesn't like it they can go elsewhere.

They were given the choice between HRC and Trump, so yeah, they either had to vote for him or risk HRC becoming president. I don't think some people inside left leaning bubbles realize just how hated she is, or how many view her as the epitome of corruption.

You're right, those veterans nights should be banned for discriminating.

You're the kind of hypocritical fuck who believes that discrimination against a particular group is OK because, what, vengeance? "Evening things out?". Please explain why this is ok? Please explain events excluding anyone based on an immutable factor like race, gender, or color are ok?

Don't kid yourselves, normalize this, and soon it will be ok to carve out slots in educational institutions, in government, and in employment that certain people will be excluded from based on their gender or race.

I agree, it would be wonderful to never have to rent to "guess what race" that on average cost me 4 times as much to clean and repair the units they occupied after being kicked out for failure to pay than other races. I could charge higher rents too. Because how ever much people claim to not be racists, they will pay extra to live somewhere without guess what race.
The decision would be strictly economic in my case, but it would still have the effect of discriminating against a certain race. If legal, others would do the same, leading to widespread discrimination. They would have to build their own ghettos, they could no longer rely on moving into an area and turning it into one.

While it sounds like a great idea to just let businesses refuse based on whatever they want, it tends to not work out well for minorities.
If people were less shitty towards each other, it could work, but humans are hateful towards each other.

The whole thing reminds me of the RAH quote on women's rights:
Click to expand...

That's because you have no principles. It's not about this movie, it's about the fact that SJW scum like you have been screaming that anything that is male only, including the Boy Scouts, is an outrageous violation of human rights. Let's just be honest here, you ARE OK with discrimination against particular groups.

Unfortunately, most SJW's are happy to see some people discriminated against, and they find it very amusing to boot. "Oh, you didn't get into that university / that job because you're a white male with better qualifications than the person who did ? Too bad, you should have done something about the last 300 years of discrimination."

They don't want equality for all, or the law applied equally either, they want to 'turn the tables', and that means punishing those who were born with the 'wrong' gender and color in order to correct some injustice the victim had nothing to do with.

its open to the public.

Of course what they did was illegal. They banned people from attending a viewing of a movie simple because of their sex.

Not sure if it's illegal, but public vs private at issue here is not based on ownership. They are definitely privately owned, but there are different laws for businesses "open to the public" vs membership clubs.

So you're saying women started this with spiteful and childish behavior? How progressive of you.
 
Sounds like the Alamo Draft House got a bunch of free publicity by thumbing their noses at conservative SJWs.

Oh yes, disregarding linear time, here we go. How is that relevant? My great grandfather was shot by the french in ww1, does that mean I can hold a grudge against the French today because of what happened 100 years ago? Bullshit.

Can we just watch a movie these days without it becoming some kind of social movement? First you have Ghostbusters, which was divided into two camps; one camp had a bunch of neckbeards hating on the movie they had never seen simply because it had a female cast, and the other side had a bunch of SJWs that praised a movie that, by all accounts, was terrible, simply because it had a female cast. Now you have Wonder Woman, which by all accounts I've heard is quite good and I intend to see as a result, and having a "woman director" and a "woman lead" doesn't affect my decision making whatsoever. If it's a good movie, see the movie, like the movie. Is this ok with everyone? Why does it have to become some kind of social statement?

Lots of people still blame others for things that happened years ago. Try slavery. The Civil War. Does it make sense? No, not really, but the hatred is still there and still passed down from generation to generation.

I say let the women have their night out. They get fucked over enough in daily life as it is by a system that always puts men first.

Personal attacks aside, none of these men are being prevented from seeing the film. These are extremely limited special events for women only, which allows men at every other showing.

I would have no problem with "men-only" showings, either, though I don't really see why men would actually want that. The only time this concept is ever really brought up is due to outrage over shit like this.

LOL That''s exaclty my point. It is stupid in any sense, including slavery. Slavery was abolished centuries ago anyone dredging it up today is a mental case. You can't right a wrong from 300 years ago by punishing / subsidizing people living in the now. It only creates more racism, and more hatred.

What system puts men first? Point at one example. Just one, where women have a disadvantage. Sure in Saudi Arabia there is. Why not try to fight for that cause? Oh yes that'd actually take some doing, while taunting people with gender segregated movie theatres in countries that already have gender equality is so easy.

This is exactly what I meant when I said in the other topic that sjws will not stop at equality of outcome, they'll push on beyond that. This is a clear example of that mentality. When almost all the men only clubs have been finally deconstructed they try to create a women only club? And women only safe spaces?

Slavery ended in the US 150 years ago, not 300. Segregation laws ended about 60 years ago. You either don't know jack shit about history or intentionally doubled the timeline to make your point make sense.

Regardless, this theater would have been better off banning assholes. That would have resulted in the same gain, a group of like-minded women not having to sit around a bunch of assholes like so many people posting in this thread. I suppose it's simply coincidence that you happen to be men, but every time you see a group of women having a "girl's night" translate it into "asshole free night" because that's what they're really trying to accomplish.

Well a theater is actually a public venue, government or privately own isn't the same as public or private venue. That being said I don't think men are a protected class concerning the law so it doesn't matter. More interesting is irrc sexuality isn't protected class under those same laws so you can be kicked out of places for being gay, ofc my knowledge of that subject is several years old.

Its really just about double-standards, that's all.

I don't have the link, but hilariously the exact same movie critics website that lauded a women's only showing as "progressive" created a major shitstorm about how sexist and patriarchal it was when the guys said, "cool, lets have a guys only movie night". Was hilarious seeing the hypocrisy in the headline screenshots side-by-side.

Its like here in Sugar Land they had an Indian-only event, where I don't think they physically prevented non-Indians from attending, but made it clear that people of other races were not wanted. There were no complaints and the event went off just fine. But here's the thing, what if someone tried to orchestrate an event for white people next door? It would likely get national attention and the ACLU and mayor involved, and you would hear nothing else on CNN for the next three weeks.

So its not unreasonable to just ask for consistent rules.

If gender segregation is OK, then it needs to be OK for both. I don't have a problem with a ladies night, but ladies shouldn't be allowed to get guys night cancelled.

If no-whites "safe spaces" are allowed, then it needs to be OK for white-only spaces too.

You just can't have both.
