nbblood 0 #7 April 1, 2004 QuoteHow do you justify that? Hey, I'm a man and I think it's a great idea. I'd gladly pay a little extra per jump to be at the DZ where the sky chicks are!! After all, it's $14 per jump, still a great deal!! I may have to visit this summer!!! In all seriousness, not that the above is not true, but I believe a business owner has the right to run the business as he/she sees fit. If you don't like it, you have the option to go elsewhere, that's how the consumer gets their say. Of course a smart business owner is wary of consumer opinion and takes that into account, but I don't think this is really out of line. Just my .02.

I am personally insulted by this nig-noggery. There is NO justification for charging someone a lower price for their jump ticket just because they are a female. Would it be acceptable to say something like $10 jump ticket for someone of one race and $14 ticket for someone of another race? No way! Everyone would agree that is outright racist. In much the same way there is NO excuse for charging a different price for men and women. Women, how would you feel if it was a cheaper ticket for men? Men, how would you feel if it was a cheaper ticket for you? I'm not just upset because it would cost me more. I would still have a problem if it was a cheaper ticket for guys.

Sounds like you've made your decision and won't be taking advantage of the $14 jump ticket on the plane full of women. Your choice. Hope you enjoy the $18 loads. Like I said, the business has choices and so does the consumer. I suppose you're offended by Ladies' Night at the clubs? I (somewhat) understand your opinion, but this is marketing. The business is choosing a marketing population and hoping that their strategy will bring in the consumer base their looking for. If you don't like it, go elsewhere. Personally, I bet it works!
