Grab a grannie....

If a something is only available to women, is it discrimination?

Because here:
http://www.malmaison.com/promotions/mothers-day

gives 100 year olds (women only though) a free nights stay in a swanky hotel!

Basically, you get your age discounted from the price of a nights stay, as a percentage, if you're female. If you're male, you need to find a (preferably elderly) lady to take along.

But is this "fair"?
(it is of course, just a promotion for Mothers day)

I think its ok, but there are other views in this office....

Discuss!

I think the people in your office that have a problem with this need to get out more..

Perhaps we could argue that setting aside a day to recognise no more than half the population is discrimination against the other half.

Um... "Mothers' Day" doesn't spark any neurones with them then?....




I'd hate to be the one who has to clean the windows at your office...

'Ageism' is a big thing at the mo ... so a double whammy on that front

Providing they do the same for "Fathers Day" it must be 100% legal

It is still discriminative ... there must be some 'ism that protects childless people?!!?

YES--------Not being a mother or father is a good starter for 10

Our windows are cleaned about once a year. Its grim. Even in the summer it looks foggy outside
