answer the following question – Read the following dialogue carefully. Then determine which opinion on the issue is more reasonable. Be sure to base your decision on evidence rather than mere preference. Background note: ARochester, New York, lawyer issued a court challenge to the practice of charging women half price for drinks during ladies nights at bars. He argued that the practice is a form of sex discrimination against men.20 Henrietta:That lawyer must be making a joke against feminism. He cant be serious. Burt:Why not? Its clearly a case of discrimination. Henrietta:Look, we both know why ladies nights are scheduled in bars: as a gimmick to attract customers. The women flock to the bars to get cheap drinks, and the men flock there because the women are there. Its no different from other gimmicks, such as mud-wrestling contests and two for the price of one cocktail hours. Burt:Sorry. Its very different from two-for-one cocktail hours, where a person of either sex can buy a cocktail at the same price. Ladies nights set a double standard based on sex and that’s sex discrimination, pure and simple. Henrietta:So now you’re a great foe of discrimination. How come you’re not complaining that men haven’t got an equal opportunity to participate half naked in mud-wrestling contests? And why aren’t you protesting the fact that women are paid less for doing the same jobs men do? You’re a phony, Burt, and you make me sick. Burt:Name-calling is not a sign of a strong intellect. And why you should get so emotional over some lawyers protest, I cant imagine. I guess it goes to show that women are more emotional than men.
