Free beer for men at Bills' restaurant

I didn't get a response from Bill's after a week so decided to ring my local branch, the woman (the manager?) I spoke to told me that they have men's and women's toilets rather than unisex.

I asked what would they do if there was a man in the women’s toilet and she said that it was company policy to contact the police if there was an issue with patrons causing trouble in the restaurant and staff were not to approach them, I asked her what would happen if a man wearing a dress was in the women's toilet not causing trouble but women found them offensive and she didn't really understand what I was talking about and repeated that if it became an issue and escalated then the police would be called.

I honestly don't have any faith that Bill's are interested in women and children's safety and will not be eating there.

No. Sarcasm probably isn't your thing. "Misogynistic" or "internalised misogyny" is such a knee jerk response on here.

This is ridiculous. Restaurant offers free drinks to men and the OP's first reaction is "what about trans men???"

"The OP and this thread is making the gender critical cause look ridiculous. It isn't raising issues."

"Dismissing another woman's opinion"

So we're in agreement, your first comment was misogynistic.

Dismissing another woman's opinion with the catchall gotcha of "misogynistic" sounds , well pretty misogynistic to me.

Telling women they're not raising awareness correctly sounds pretty misogynistic to me.

The OP and this thread is making the gender critical cause look ridiculous. It isn't raising issues.

Why the fuck are you targetting Bills?

Bills aren't writing documents for the health service where they remove the 'women'. They're not harping on about menstruating or chestfeeding. They're not an elected MP who's opening prison cells in a women's prison to men, suggesting that men can grow a cervix or stating that women have penises. They're not sending death threats to JKR or organising pile ons to Rosie Duffield.

So of course, you choose to pick a fight with them.

Use your nugget and think about the following questions.

Do you really think this is a way to get people on your side?

Do you sound any less batshit than the blue haired TRAs?

The answer to both questions is 'No'.

Is OP "targetting Bill's" or is OP considering taking an opportunity to raise issues in the hope that by raising issues issues are raised?

I honestly think that when companies make an offer for men or women is is worth asking them eactly that they mean. It might even help them anticipate a problem and they might be grateful. It might simply educate the person who has to deal with the query.

I think you sound somewhat batshit for thinking that it is batshit to make sure that - in a very confused world - people (making decisions at Bills) are not confused.

This is so easy to solve. Just show Bills your child or a copy of the Birthcert of your child and your ID.
If you look like a man free beer on Father's , if you look like a woman, free Mother's Day drink, if your the step parent you would need to be with the child.
I don't care how you dress , but in your heart you know the truth.....

OP: "My desired outcome is to bring to the fore front the stupidity of the new self identifying regulations."

Also OP: "If you re read you will see I did not use the word new"

It's the dishonesty I can't stand. I'm out.

And Bills and free beer is the best way to make your point OP?

I have been deleted for saying this thread is so ridiculous that I thought it was a put up job to make the women who post on here look ridiculous.

I’m guessing the OP is turning around what would happen if the bar said they were giving our free beer to mums on Mother’s Day (as did happen ‘not all mothers are female’ etc) and the capitulation of companies at the first whiff of protest.

Use your nugget and think about the following questions.

The answer to both questions is 'No'.

I'm out! You are bonkers, Op 😂

What's with all the policing how women protest in this thread?

Have we been infiltrated by TRAs?

What law?

My desired outcome is to bring to the fore front the stupidity of the new self identifying regulations

Which new regulations do you mean?

Screenshots have been taken you say? Here is my surprised face. 🙄

People never fail to surprise me in their sheer dedication to utter jobless behaviour.

Yup, I wasn't going with "It would be brilliant" - just "Reminds me of".

Actually I agree, it's a bad idea :) the sun must have gotten to me today!
