Impredicative Junkyard

давно собирался посмотреть, что будет, если вбить в Google "hooters waitress affirmative action". Вот что будет:

David Gillespie visited the Coastline Bar & Restaurant in Cherry Hill, NJ. It was Ladies' Night. David paid a $5 cover charge and full price for drinks. Women entered free and enjoyed discounts at the bar. Mr. Gillespie and the ACLU sued for gender discrimination. In response, the state of New Jersey has ruled Ladies' Nights unlawful. Courts in Washington and Illinois, however, have ruled that Ladies' Nights are permitted because, rather than discriminate, they merely encourage women to attend. Do you agree or disagree with New Jersey's ruling to end Ladies' Nights because of gender discrimination?

Но искал-то я не то совсем! Где судебный процесс, начатый против Hooters мужчиной, которого там не взяли на работу официантом, я спрашиваю? Все есть, даже марксистский анализ поведения Hooters, а вот на мой вопрос нет ответа ... как всегда, впрочем

Эврика!
And let's not forget the infamous Hooters litigation. The EEOC sued Hooters, which is known for its sexy, busty waitresses, for refusing to hire male waiters, and also for having a double entendre name that suggested that only women could work there. Hooters claimed that since it provides vicarious sexual recreation, female sexuality was a bona fide occupational qualification.
Following a clever public-relations campaign by Hooters, featuring a hairy, ugly "Hooters guy," the EEOC backed off, but not before extorting a $3.75 million settlement from Hooters, and requiring Hooters to create new gender- neutral positions.

Заодно узнал, что такое Double Entendré

And, coincidentially, a very good article Looks Do Matter - ethology, culture, what not.

Пусть будет, как будет,
ведь как-нибудь да будет,
никогда так не было,
чтобы никак не было.

Impredicative: Definitions about a set which depend on the entire set.

Если жизнь протекает хорошо,
значит, она дала трещину.

В действительности все совсем не так, как на самом деле.
