Laws have been passed in CA and other parts of the country disallowing bars from having ladies nights because its discriminatory. Do you think McDonalds could get away with giving away free hamburgers to women only?

LOL
I had to go look that one up - i had heard about it recently and assumed it was a joke. Ladies nights generally have a huge cover charge for men just so they can let ladies in for free ... we aren't talking about penalizing men, just offering a different package for women - generally they end up spending the same, its just presented differently.
the 'merits' of women members is that they chat more, they fill message boards and generally make a site more active.
every single case of marketing could be twisted to fit the definition of discrimination - anything that is *for* a particular target audience is against everyone who isn't that audience.
i don't care what's happening in californian 'lets get some press for free' law. besides, its only discrimination if someone gets hurt or complains!!
