Problem solved.
Nah, that will just attract blatant homosexuals who boasts of their sexual orientation every chance they get.

Edit: To Clarify Gamer Girls are people who thinks they deserve better treatment in video games just because they're girls. Girl Gamers are gamers who just happens to be a girl and behaves like a typical gamer. You won't notice she's a girl until she tells you.
Thank you so much! I am glad that you understand the problem and part of the point here!

Allowing discounts or free entry because of your gender is extremely sexist. Whenever something is on special I order the opposite in the name of justice and equality.

Aside from the fact that's kinda offensive (MLG ain't a club, guy), that's totally illogical. Do girls have a harder time paying like 20 bucks than guys? How do you know that the reason there aren't more girls is cause it's too pricey for them?? I think it's more likely that girls in general are simply less interested in SC2 than your average dood. No offense its not illogical, if mlg was cheaper more people would come from both sexes, cheaper for girls will affect their turnout rate, if only slightly. its offensive to pretty much everyone, but its not illogical. Really? So the assumption is that there are girls who want to come, but don't simply because it's too pricey. I call that un-parsimonious and not very rational
no, i said that there are people of all types and sexes and races who may be put off by price. im not gonna sit here in my house on my pc and pretend to know the finances on every person who loves to go to mlg. who are we to say that for some people 25 dollars isnt too much.

I think your onto something here. Naturally if you can get discounts with a group that group will be more likely to come. Also because your with your friends, your going to have a good time.

So what does different names have to do with actually treating people different beacuse of their sex, when it isn't necessary? To even bring handicap is just silly, and I hope you know it and is just trolling. Erm as it seems you toally don't get a bit of my references so why comment on it? And no I am not trolling, having a handicapped mother, i appreciate every institution which supports them. So why did I mention it? Because it is some mordern-retardness to claim discrimination because something/one gets treated different than you are. THERE IS a freakin right to do that if it has some based argument to do so. Or am I discriminated as a smoker because i need to smoke outside? Hell no. So explain in englis so we can understand then. And this is not retardness, it is really not necessay. Smoking is another bad example, as it is a danger to others. He argumented in "gendering" which is a practice of writing basically Doctor and "Doctoress" when referring to the job "Doctor". It's really retarded but apparently promotes equality.
Actually, it's fallen out of favour because it implies the opposite, that men and women doing the same job are not equal. I can't recall the last time I heard a female actor being called an actress.

Anyway, the reason they do that is to try and get men to want to spend more there getting the girls drunk.

i dont see whats wrong with this? everyone knows the reason that places run ladies nights and if you either arent interested in picking up a woman or already have one, i dont see what would be wrong in taking your business elsewhere. people turn away from places for their product choice, their ethics or a multitude of any other reason, if you believe that ladies night is sexist then thats up to you.

mlg should do this for pokemon as well!

The whole point behind "ladies night" in a club is b/c every night of the week there's a ration of 10-1 male to female. And then on ladies night it's 5-5 male to female. Doesn't that just make sense? to have an even male-female ration in a club where males and females are looking to hook up with each other (or at least dance with each other)

you just have to know where to go. there are an equal number of ladies and men out in most areas most nights, its just that the places men want to go dont exactly attract women. go to a micheal buble concert if you want to find out where all the single women went

they do this to bring in more girls to the bar, which will in turn bring in more guys. I dont think MLG has the mindset that if they bring in chicks to their events it will bring in more males hoping to score later that night.

I guess you will feel great when there are only males in the club...at least no one had to pay less than you which is what matters!
