does anyone know how legal it is to offer a service to both men and women freely, but give women many many extras things for free, and make the men have to pay for those extras? and those extras benefit the women

this would be very easy to prove.

for instance lets say flying on a plane is free for all to do, however aisle seats are a paid extra for men but for women are free, and first seating with snacks midflight also free to women, but men must pay for these?

If it's illegal, what can someone do about it? would you have to go to a certain type of lawyer and explain the situation and they'd see to take it on? if so what type would i be looking for?

why don't you just have a sex change to get said benefits if you want them so badly?

far easier than arguing it in court. cheaper too.

Can you not say the situation.


Vause it will depend heavily on the situation.

For instance a swingers club could be free or a fiver for a woman, tenner for couple but like 50 quid for a single male.

But private members club so exempt for discrimination laws.
What exactly is it thats annoyed you?

This can't be answered in the general case, only in the specific. In your plane example, almost certainly not legal. It's discrimination. But other cases might have legitimate reasons for a double-standard. Even there though, it needs to be a pretty strong reason because even things like different insurance premiums (women are statistically safer drivers) aren't sufficient to apply a double-standard. It has to be things where the service has a significant basis in gender, e.g. women free for a nightclub example others have posted.

ok thanks it's very similar to the plane situation, and not the club situation as people have posted. I agree with that even if it's some sort of discrimination, as a heterosexual male i'm all for more girls in clubs.

so anyone know what type of lawyer it would be worth approaching?

One that understands the situation better than you're able to explain it, hopefully.
