After reading articles like these, I have to remind myself – repeatedly – that I support free speech/press.
Snippets…
A local attorney named Todd Phillips is a major proponent of enforcing equal pricing laws. He argues that charging men higher prices is discriminatory. Phillips has several successful law suits under his belt, many of which employ rhetoric of gender discrimination to challenge pricing discrepancies.
We’re good so far.
On the surface, Phillips’ cause appears valiant. Who doesn’t support the eradication of inequality?
Ooh, ooh, let me guess. You.
Even more embarrassing is the fact that Phillips’ case was the first in Nevada to challenge a supposedly sexist business policy, on behalf of men.
What’s my prize?
If Phillips truly wanted to challenge economic inequality, why not tackle the gender wage gap? Women might get into night clubs for free, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are underpaid for equal work.

I had trouble quoting directly from this article because it was so grammatically incorrect. Nice to know that even college newspaper editors can’t construct a sentence these days. Be sure to check out more grammatically-incorrect goodies from Marisa Christensen.
