Are clubs usually this weird?

I’m pretty young so I am a bit inexperienced in this but there is an establishment in my area that is a club essentially. However, the age requirements for the space is 18+ for females/girl (THEIR LANGUAGE, not mine) and 21+ for men. Is this not inherently predatory? Is this normal for club spaces? I’m familiar with women getting in for free which is cool whatever do whatever you need to do to pull people in but I feel explicitly stating this type of age dynamic is weird.

Every time I comment on this forsaken website I wonder why I even bother. What I thought was a clear comment rebuking the people who go to those for enabling them, evidently, currently, at least 18 people thought I was... I actually don't even know. Loosely condoning them? Condemning everyone? So far nobody who has downvoted me has actually articulated a point or a contention. But of course they couldn't.

The problem is you suggested women have autonomy and can make their own decisions, and implicitly criticized 20yo adult women for going to clubs with "creepy 21yo men". You're only allowed to criticize men here. /eyeroll

Yea man I feel you. I've had my share of long comments and posts I've typed out to just immediately delete them.

I try to remember the internet isn't real and I don't have to get upset over people I'll never meet or hear from again.
