I wonder why the court thinks "ladies' nights" are any different from
any other Affirmative Action program.  My understanding is that the
usual reason for such affairs is to attempt to remedy the great
preponderance of men in these bars.  By giving women economic
incentives to visit the bar, they hope to remedy the sexual imbalance
in their establishment.
