Isn't "Girls Night Out" SEXIST?

Question

Isn't "Girls Night Out" SEXIST?

Answer 1

Why? Many men have 'lads night out'. I personally do not segregate my friends like that, the same as hen and stag nights. A decent night out involved my friends, regardless on their s*x.

My hubby and I are best friends and we'll have a'girls night in' or a 'lads night out' togheter ;-) It's just a word that means girls night in = watch a spooky dvd, eat pizza and choclate, drink wine and snuggle up. lads night out = drink and be stupid, tell rude jokes and end up coming home and playing twister.

Answer 2

Feminsts say it is not.

Reasonable people say it is.

Answer 3

Of course not. People can go out with whomever they want.

Answer 4

OMG some women friends want to go out some evening just themselves!

Life is so rough for you boys isn't it?

Answer 5

Nope, neither is boy's night out. Inherently, they're just gatherings of folks who are friends. Sometimes I just need girl time. Mostly we talk about philosophy, religion, sustainability, gender, politics, biological hydrogen production, psychology, and international policy.

I guess, on the other hand, it would depend on what you do. If it's all about trolling for male or female attention then there could be some sexist mentality at work. You know, birds of a feather flock together. Shallow and stupid people of both sexes tend to hang together. Authentic, secure folks gravitate toward each other. If your girl's (or boy's) one-gender outings seem f'd up, you're probably choosing the wrong company. Change yourself, become a quality person and choose quality friends.

In general however, men understand men in a way that women don't and women understand women in a way that men don't. It's shared experiences. That's all.

Answer 6

No, explain to me how a women meeting up with female friends is sexist?

Men have their nights out with their male friends, why cant women have their nights out with their female friends?

Answer 7

wat no! u r sexist, alot of guys go out for a beer and drink the night away and no women are alowed. its just a little break from ur spouse and ur family so u and ur girl friends can have some fun.

Answer 8

I don't participate in them but it doesn't matter if others do it. These nights out have no effect on me personally.

Answer 9

Yes, it is, and I know we can count on you to be a very effective leader in the important fight to legislate against these scurrilous activities.

Answer 10

Mike T normally I love your questions and comments, but are  you starting to struggle for new material?

Girls night out is just a way to get your woman out of your hair for a while... enjoy it!!

Answer 11

Only a much as a "boys night out" is.  I think they are great- you go with your mates, I'll go with mine.  What's wrong with that?  And honestly, why would you want to come with us, anyway?  You can go out with ALL your friends (male and female) at another time.

Answer 12

It is in a way, because on dates, the man is always expected to pay just because he is usually supposed to earn more, but a girls night out is a shared bill. It isn't paid by 'whoever earns more'. On dates, the man has no choice, whether he earns more or less than the woman he is dating.

Other than that, I couldn't find any other way a girls night out is sexist. Unless you count the fact that our wives kill us if we come back later than promised.

Answer 13

No not really. It's just that men don't nag them to death about it like women do when men have a "guys night out"

Answer 14

Ok well then if thats sexist then we will stop! OH BUT no more Guys Night Out, or going for a drink with the Guys, or "Oh Im just watching the game with the guys!" Is that ok with you cause if it is then we'll stop and you cna spend 24/7 with your girlfriend  or wife!

Answer 15

No.  It's perfectly healthy to have bonding time w/ a group of people of your own gender.  So long as the woman that is part of a girl's night out doesn't say significant other isn't allowed to go out w/ his guy friends.

Answer 16

Yes u are

Answer 17

Not sure why a guy would even want to join in.  All they do is go around and see how many guys buy them drinks and give them attention.  It's just an ego booster for insecure women.

I wouldn't say it's sexist.  More like sad.

Glad my girl isn't into that.  Though, if she did do such things then she probably wouldn't be my girl anymore.

Answer 18

Not when you consider how often men have "Guys' Night Out", or go to the bar-- "just the guys"-- for a beer.
