A woman walks into your bar. You can refuse to solve her because you don’t like the way she does her hair, or the color of her clothes. You can’t refuse to serve her because she’s a woman.
- KennyBlanken 3y agoThe standards and burdens are different in civil cases, and judges are not born-yesterday, gullible idiots who fall for such contrived nonsense? The bar owner would face substantial incredulity from a judge if they claimed that they were turning down business because of how someone's hair looked. That said, the plaintiffs could strengthen their case showing a significant number of women were being denied service, or evidence the owner was misogynistic.

- clipsy 3y agoThere is virtually zero chance that a bar would be found guilty of illegal discrimination for banning an individual woman unless there were witnesses or recordings establishing that they did so specifically on the basis of gender. Proving discrimination, even by the lower standards of civil court, generally requires either a well-documented pattern of behavior or (as mentioned above) evidence that the customer was banned due specifically to their gender.
