Do they actually call it a 'ladies' menu'?

Yup

 

”On business reviews-and-ratings platform Dianping (in Chinese), China’s equivalent of Yelp, Da Vittorio Shanghai boasts a score of 4.94 out of 5, with the average price for a meal hovering around 2,125 yuan ($330) per person. Many patrons praised the expensive restaurant for its “attention to detail” and “emphasis on the traditional etiquette of fine dining,” saying that its “ladies’ menu” made them feel respected and at ease.”

Wow.

It belongs in a different age but I sometimes wonder if we women would be quite as anxious to toss overboard the very old-fashioned idea of women (and children) first. Sex discrimination with respect to survivors of the Titanic disaster. Food for thought?
