Night life is a meat market


Free drinks for ladies all night! No cover for girls before midnight! 18+ for ladies, 21+ for guys. Who Has not seen these advertisements for clubs?
After reading How Bars Exploit Underage Women as Commodities, I was shocked that I had never thought about this. Basically women are being prostituted. When we (women) get let in the clubs for free and it is advertised, it lets men know that there are a bunch of women in the bar. The clubs are using us to lure men. Having men pay to get in and buy us drinks' since we get them for free on ladies night this means that all the profit is made from the guys buying drinks.
I do not know if it is consciously or subconsciously but men are attracted to these clubs. They know that they will find women in there, who will be more willing to have sex since they are enabled by all the free or cheap alcohol.
Do these ladies nights lead to more women being raped? "July 2006. In a second homicide that summer in the city involving a young woman who had been drinking to excess, 18-year-old Jennifer Moore left one of the city's most exclusive lounges intoxicated. Walking alone in the early morning hours along the city's West Side Highway, she was abducted and raped. Two days later she was found disemboweled in a dumpster in Weehawken, N.J."(How Bars Exploit Underage Women as Commodities, By Liz Funk, Women's eNews. Posted January 2, 2007.)
So what can we do about this? Some might wonder why should we care about sleazy women? We could try to force bars to keep underage women out of the clubs. We could try and educate America's youth better.
As to why we should care, it is simple. Many young women feel the only way they can find a partner is exploit themselves. They do this by wearing promiscuous clothes and trying to party "as hard as the boys can". If society didn't expect women to look a certain way or to be with a boyfriend then perhaps women wouldn't feel the need to put themselves in dangerous situations like this.
I am not saying that all women should boycott clubs. What I am saying is women should be safe when they go out. Clubs should not provide an atmosphere where a woman is hunted, but instead be a safe and fun experience for anyone who attends.
