You think this is "harsh", don't think straight men will be getting into Curves or a lesbian bar without an escort. Besides way too many straight women behave inappropriately, bringing along their huge purses, smacking people with them and never, ever apologizing. Too many seem to think everyone should be gaga over them, they don't tip, or if they do it's not the correct amount, and generally are a pain in the ass.

There are so many better places in DC with no cover and no attitude.
