A sign in the window of the Wild Horse Saloon in downtown Durango reads, “Life's too short to dance with ugly men.”
If a business publicly displayed the phrase “Life's too short to dance with ugly women,” there would be immediate backlash. That is exactly why this deserves attention. Public sexism is still sexism, even when it is framed as humor and aimed at men.
Durango presents itself as a community that values respect and inclusion. It seems fair to ask why a local business gets a pass for publicly mocking an entire gender.
