I think V is much closer to the mark when he says it's all about maintaining a "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" boys' club atmosphere. If that is indeed the case, I have absolutely zero sympathy for the business owner and the sexist clientele who would seek out such an establishment. I'd expect that kind of attitude to exist in places like Saudi Arabia but certainly not 21st century Canada.

I don't think either of us know for sure exactly what the purpose is for wanting to promote a gender specific clientele, so my pitchfork is out but still unsharpened.
Maybe he should set it up like club with membership criteria instead. I am pretty sure that it still allows for discrimination that way.
