Do blokes get free beer for taking their undies off? If not then I can see why some people might have a problem with it.
I fail to see what's wrong with it. Sounds like just a bit of bawdy fun participated freely in by adults. What's to not like?
The fact it's women only isn't sexist as mandrill seems to be suggesting. Women and men are different. There's little interest in men without their underwear, except on the gay scene. This is the market doing what individuals actually want from it, rather than what other people think they should want from it. That's what the free market is all about. To impose left-wing "fairness" on it (notional sexual equality) would in fact produce unfairness, since the men (presumably) actually want women without underwear whereas the women (probably) aren't much enthused by men without underwear. Which is socialism all over; everyone is made equal by ensuring nobody gets what they actually want.
What Ian B said. This is a *private* establishment. Melbourne is a big city. If you disapprove of what happens at the Saint Hotel (which, for the record, I think I probably do), find another fucking pub. If you don't like taking your underwear off in return for free drinks, then here's a thought - don't take your underwear off in return for free drinks. If you'd rather read quietly or wrestle a kangaroo, or attend a Women's Studies seminar; go and do that, and quit worrying about what other people do for fun.
Methinks Sue McLellan suffers from the thought disorder (puritanism) so pithily diagnosed by HL Mencken:
"The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy"
Do blokes get free beer for taking their undies off?If not, why can't we be thankful?
It's off, folks. Aussies or not, Nanny-Statism got its say there too.
Nothing the matter with it, Brian. the good ladies are not going to be asked to do anything else.
But , yeh, it's off anyway. The f*****g safety-Nazis have got their teeth into its ankle.
