Legal question about clubbing
last Friday, I went clubbing. As my CF was sitting in my lap, a group of 3 women entered the club and a few minutes later I noticed that a guy appeared to be apart of their group
I told my CF that I’ve noticed that when you do see females in a strip club as a customer, they always seem to be with a guy. Out of curiousity, I asked her why is that. She said something along the lines of her club doesn’t allow females in without being accompanied by a guy because “they could potentially be prostitues and proceed to solicit the customers”. Now perhaps that’s common knowledge among many of you, but I didn’t know that. Is the answer that she gave me seem true/legit?
I’m no brainiac or expert on the law, but isn’t it illegal to not allow a female in a strip club as a customer—whether she’s alone or with a group of ONLY females? How can clubs have this rule? Skibum and John Smith you two better start explaining lol :-)

About 2 years ago it was posted here on TUSCL that a popular SoCal club (Paradise) was being sued by a lesbian custy that was denied entry b/c she was not escorted by a guy - and lopaw confirmed that that club would not let her in when she had visited, not sure what the result of the lawsuit was but I would think the club lost.
"but isn’t it illegal to not allow a female in a strip club as a customer—whether she’s alone or with a group of ONLY females?"
Quite possibly. But I wonder about the number of civilian women who would be willing to make it a matter of public record that they were denied entry to a titty bar.
I think that almost all women go to a strip club with a guy or two because they don't want to be perceived as a hooker or off-duty dancer. Nothing to do with club rules.
Nothing stops a prostitute from going to a club with her pimp in those cases. The only real recourse is the club policing behavior while in the club.
I was in a club a month or two ago and overheard club staff explaining the "you might be prostitutes" thing to a couple of lesbian-looking obvious civvies. In that case the club let them in anyway after hassling them a bit. At the bar, a pimp/prostitute couple (or possibly robbers) were there.
The woman of the couple was trying to flirt with me and after I walked off with my drink, I saw her do the same with another guy. The man of the couple was getting touchy-feely with the bartender and waitress. Club staff was complaining about them after they left, but I'm not sure if they were actually kicked out or left on their own. If they weren't kicked out, it was obviously heading in that direction.
I think there was an old bar in the village (McSorleys) that didn’t allow women until the 1980’s. I’m sure that rule was challenged at times too.
I believe that they may have changed that policy since then because the last time i was in that club there was a civie female sitting at the bar drinking by herself.
And there's nothing wrong w/ a woman visiting a club alone just as guys do - she could be a lesbian; bi-sexual; just curious what a strip-club is like or maybe just enjoys the show; or a dancer wanting to scout SCs to potentially dance at.

Below is the text from the article:
"... LOS ANGELES – A lesbian and a strip club have settled the woman’s civil rights lawsuit alleging she was denied access to the Industry establishment because she was not accompanied by a man.
Tamara Yatkin of El Segundo filed the suit against Paradise Showgirls in Los Angeles Superior Court last June, seeking unspecified damages as well as an injunction preventing the club from requiring females to be with men before they are allowed inside.
But on April 7, her attorney filed court papers stating that the case was resolved. No terms were divulged. Trial had been scheduled May 18.
According to the lawsuit, Yatkin, 54, went to the club on Valley Blvd. in June 2013 on the recommendation of a longtime customer. She asked the doorman about the cover charge and whether discounts from other clubs were accepted there, the suit states.
“The man told plaintiff the price and asked (her) if she was alone,” the suit states. “Plaintiff responded yes and the man told (her) she had to be accompanied by a man to enter the club.”
An “incredulous” Yatkin asked if he was joking, but the man replied, “it is policy,” the suit states. He said the establishment “had problems with women entering the club and causing problems,” according to the complaint.
“Plaintiff reassured the man that she was not a problem, that she was a lesbian who wanted to spend money and have a good time,” the suit states.
After Yatkin asked to see the manager, the man stated that he was the manager, the suit states.
Yatkin called Paradise Showgirls during the next two weeks for an explanation of their policy and was told they “could not be bothered,” the suit states. ..."

Our Mexican bars don't seem to care, and I suspect the ones on International Blvd in Oakland don't care either.
But other times they get in. Usually they lead with "Buy me a drink." This might be a factor in why they are allowed in.
At the Sunnyvale Brass Rail, usually a bunch come in under the cover of the amateur / wet t-shirt contest.
Today, so many lesbian customers, things might be changing. Never seen any of them run off, only hookers.

But I know plenty of dancers scope out clubs as customers first, eitger with a guy friend or a wingwoman
Elaborate
Of course, there might be some amount of sampling error involved, since clubs tend to discourage female custies in general unless they're in a mixed group.
