I'm one of those people who thinks that private enterprise should not be restricted from discriminating based on the concept of the right to freely associate. The free market will take care of abusive discrimination and nature will dictate where it is appropriate. Cuz, like it or not, men and women are different and culturally they have different roles. And business owners know that the way to get men to spend money is to have women there.

Of course, my views are different when it comes to the law or government organizations.

I dunno, this stuff all seems like common sense to me. Follow your natural instincts and you will know what is right and wrong in any situation. I have the right to allow who I want to enter my home, regardless of gender, race, religion...whatever. I have the right to discriminate in my own home. Why wouldn't this right extend to a business that I own?

and again, businesses that do decide to discriminate abusively will be given a clear message from the "market" as to whether or not it is acceptable.
