Bid to Eradicate ‘Ladies Nights’ Fails at 2nd Circuit

September 3, 2010

A one-man campaign against "Ladies Nights" did not get far. The 2nd Circuit has rejected Roy Den Hollander's claim that the Copacabana Nightclub and other establishments were "state actors" who violated the U.S. Constitution by charging men more for admission and drinks than women. Hollander had argued that "Ladies Nights" stem from "40 years of lobbying and intimidation, [by] the special interest group called 'Feminism' [which] has succeeded in creating a customary practice ... of invidious discrimination against men."
