should pubs be allowed to refuse to serve women? how can you enjoy a pint with a load of twittering women?

Of course they should be allowed to refuse to serve women.

By the same token however, they should also be allowed to refuse to serve men.

It is neither sexist nor discriminatory. Any bar can pander to any particular group. If this were not true then there wouldn't be such a thing as a 'gay' bar or a 'singles' bar, there would just be bars.

You could, if you wished, create a bar that only served women 31-35 who owned Dalmatians and drove green ford escorts. You'd probably go out of business, but you could do it.

Should pubs be allowed to refuse to serve women? Pubs (or any other business) can refuse service to anyone right now. Any business that wants to remain in business though is very careful about applying that rule however.

I heard of a restaurant that, if your child(ren) start crying/screaming or generally getting out of hand, they will come and pack up your food to go. No questions asked, no second chances. There is another that I've personally been to that has a sign up that says flat out, no children under 12. Period. And that if your kids get out of hand even once you're already out the door.

I think that if you had just asked the first part of your question, and not asked if you can enjoy a pint with a "load of twittering women" then you'd be getting more reasonable answers (and not just commentary by women who like to drink and smash men with bar stools). Personally I enjoy the company of women and currently I can not conceive of a situation where I would prefer to not have any women about. Almost all places I can think of would be better off for the inclusion of women.
