 I think Emily's point is that the women are allowed to play men. Of course,
that means the restaurant is required to allow them to do so.

     Maybe I'm missing something, but I'd thought that the case
concluded that the restaurant was *required* to let women play men, not
just that it was *allowed* to let women play men.

Seems a very historical move to allow women to play men.
SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE reminds us that our great canonical works
were premised on men playing women, so women playing men would
simply be a brilliant historical reference.

Any comments on the constitutional implications?

Restaurants' male-server policy loses in court
By Stacey Hartmann / Staff Writer
A federal jury has found Cock of the Walk restaurants discriminated
against

historical
figures who were the toughest fighters on riverboats.
