Get rid of the girl?
Asguard said:
When a bar goes to the antidescrimination tribunal to get an exemption to the act so that they can lawfully turn men away if they judge there wernt enough women in the bar.
What huh? There's an antidiscrimination
tribunal that argues over "ladies night" at the bar?
Really ... I seriously
don't know what to say to that.
Yes that happened to me, took my partner out on a date to a nightclub for her birthday and what happens oh sorry your GF can come in but not you.
Again, this might be a cultural difference between Australians and Americans, but my response would be twofold:
(1) Find another bar. If the girlfriend insists on this bar without you ...
(2) ... find another girlfriend. Better yet, don't°. Just dump her and move on with life.
Seriously, I may have gotten a wonderful daughter out of my last relationship, but that's
all I got out of it. And I will continue to pay a toll for that for the rest of my life. For instance, her mother wants to send her to a religious preschool. ("They don't preach Jesus. Well, only on Fridays." Do you know what else she said? "Better now than to send her to the high school you went to, when she won't be able to defend herself." Really! Seriously!)
So get out of those relationships
now, while you still have a chance. My daughter is a blessing, indeed. And her mother is a curse. And you know what? I'm one of the lucky ones.
So if your girlfriend thinks so little of you that she would enter the bar and leave you behind, leave
her behind. If she's cool with finding another place to drink because you're important to her birthday happiness, great. Good luck. I hope the relationship works out better than most. Just find another place to drink and start crossing certain bars off your list of places to go.
That's my personal advice. There are bars in town I can't get into. Because I'm not wearing latex, for instance. I generally don't worry about it. And there's a dyke bar in town that I wouldn't be welcome in even if I was a tranny. I generally don't worry about it. And my lesbian friends would
never ask me to go there.
Notes on edit:
What do you think would happen if for instance Orleander came to a bar i was the bouncer at and i said sorry your to fat to come in but if you fuck off your partner can come in"????
Definitely ditch the girlfriend if she goes into the bar at that point. But it doesn't sound like a particularly sexist standard. It sounds like a stupid aesthetic standard. And there are bars like that in Seattle. We tend to leave them for the retards who prefer that sort of setting. Look, there are some places that want to present themselves as some sort of mecca for the young and beautiful. They'll find any reason to turn people away at the door. There's a psychological disorder at play when it goes so far. Seriously, think about how one explains that: "
I started a business just so I could discriminate against people I think are ugly." What the
hell is wrong with those people? And their patrons?
I am loving this, i am watching (doctor phil), this woman is bitching because her husband spends as long as she does getting ready. She seariously came on doctor phil to winge that this guy uses foundation. Seriously (sorry slighly off topic)
Um ... it
is Doctor Phil. He's almost as messed up as the people on his show.
And, yes, think about how one explains
that: "
I started a television show so I could pretend to be a therapist while violating every rule of the practice. Mostly I think it'll get me rich."

Notes:
° Better yet, don't — I just saw, a few minutes ago, the topic about legalizing prostitution. While perusing that discussion, I came across Jozen-Bo's hilarious line, "Despite the temptation I haven't done any business, I'm married...so why pay anything?" Seriously, there's no honest response that doesn't sound just awful. But when people are confused that I have a child and am not married, I usually respond that "I was smart enough to not marry her." Sure, it sounds like a slam against the woman, and in this case, it is. But it's also a commentary on marriage in general. What, if anything, are these relationships working toward? I was happy when it was a friend I could hang out with and bang on a fairly regular basis and smoke pot with. If she'd been honest, years ago, about her expectations—that she wanted someone to treat like a husband—I would have stepped aside and let her go find that poor bastard.
