avelanch Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Please don't compare a Ferrari dealership to equal rights. He's not doing them cause "it's against his religious principles". I'm not denying that maybe she went there for a fight. That's not the point. He refused service because of gender - that's not right in this country.

Heretic Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 an OBGYN once refused to take a look at my junk because I'm not a female. Should I sue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 but he offers a service, one that could be critical and lifesaving (unlike that of a haircut), why is he not held to the same "equal rights" standards that a barber shop is? how about "curves fitness" refusing to give me a membership to their gym? should they be sued too? Or is this simply because his religion prevents him from cutting the hair of a non-related female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmployeeoftheMonth Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Its ridiculous from a practical standpoint. However, their religion forbids this, and as nuts as it sounds she should respect his right to believe whatever he wants . She doesnt have to respect HIM for his arcane belief system. I certainly wouldnt. But to SUE the guy over it? Where does all this end? Sue everyone for everything . Sue feminist groups for not allowing men. Sue the black caucus or refusing white people. Sue Chinese people for not teaching everyone else Cantonese for free. They teach their children Cantonese for free. At some point we have to call it what it is. An excuse to try to feel important via victimization for any reason whether it be reasonable or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift-4 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 So she is complaining because she can't get her haircut by someone who obviously doesn't have a lot of experience cutting women's hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmployeeoftheMonth Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 there's reasonable expectation for a men's only barbershop to cut women's hair? that's news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 No it was my bad I don't know why I formed it as a question rather than clarifying that what DB was talking about was reasonable expectation. I missed my own damn point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks_dynasty Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sorry...I don't believe a female would go to a barbershop for a haircut. She went there to prove a point. This lawsuit should be thrown out just like that man wanting join a female only gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The real question is: Why is a man opening a barber shop when he can't cut womens hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Ed Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 In Canada women have the same rights as men. I suggest this 'barber' move back to a Muslim country rather than force the will of his own culture onto ours. Oh and we should ban the burka too like France did.

TOMapleLaughs Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 This case is sweet because it involves racism, sexism, religious intolerance, gay rights, and human rights issues all at once. All this could've been solved by the realization of the obviousness that males-only barbershops have the right to only serve males. This has been well-established over quite a few decades and honestly, she never had any intention of frequenting the establishment. It is quite clear that Faith MacGregor is an attention-grabbing troll who is serving nobody but herself while attempting to ruin the classic tradition of the male barbershop. I hope she goes to hell.

Special Ed Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 She's defending a basic civil right that makes our culture great. Canadians should not have their rights imposed upon by Muslims. Next thing you know we are bending over and dressing our women in burkas. Maybe stoning them too? I hope she wins the case and the barbaric barber is shut down. Don't try and drag us back to the Stone Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
