Historically, "Ladies' Nights" have been great for business. The discounted drinks or meals tend to draw a large crowd of women, which in turn tends to draw more men — which then leads to packed bars and increased sales for the business. Have you ever been to or seen a business that offers discounted drinks on Ladies' Night?

A family-run restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area is shutting down this week because it can't afford to operate after it settled a "Ladies' Night" discrimination lawsuit, CNN affiliate KGO reported last week. John Marquez, the chef and owner of Lima Restaurant in Concord, told the outlet that it hasn't been able to bounce back after settling a lawsuit over a promotion that discounted drinks for women. It's not the first small business to be sued over a Ladies' Night promotion due to technicalities in discrimination laws in certain states. The Unruh Civil Rights Act, a California law that dates back to 1959, says businesses can't discriminate against religion, race and gender. A slew of lawsuits have since followed, and that has meant a sharp drop in the promotion. Do you agree that these promotions should be banned for discrimination?
