Re: GTA is Full of Them - Another "My Rights Are More Impor

said by dragonfly:

Nah, it's an interesting question. If a bull wants a man's haircut, why shouldn't she be able to get one?

I'm sure she can... somewhere else. If a place has a business owner or employee that won't serve someone, simply go somewhere else. When I receive rude service, I take my business elsewhere; I don't make a big stink about it or go to some 'rights' tribunal.

Hah, I figured it was a bunch of Italian barbers until I clicked on the link and saw it was people of the Islamic faith.

Nevermind their religious faith, I support any business owner that doesn't want to serve someone for whatever reason. A business owner has rights as well. What tribunal does our society offer to them, to cost others money?

People need to stick up for their rights, otherwise they wouldn't have any. It's messy and inconvenient but necessary.

A business owner does not have the right to discriminate in the offering of services on the basis of certain prohibited grounds, including gender.

However, in this case I don't see it as a matter of discrimination on the basis of gender, rather discrimination against the business owner on the basis of religion -- an equally protected right.

I believe she is being unreasonable, and may need to find a hobby.

Wish the same would be said for Goodlife Fitness for Women. Or Curves.

Both arguably permissible under the Human Rights Code.
