1) Why advertised this to the world to let everyone know what an "Owl Shot" is?
2) Isn't this sexist since it only in the woman's bathroom as it assume "a" man is making a woman uncomfortable.
3) How's this going to work in a Lesbian bar?

(CNN)College students who find themselves out on a date gone wrong at bars in southeastern Florida may be able to turn to the bartender for help.
Posters hanging in the restrooms of about a dozen bars and restaurants in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Jupiter give instructions to women about alerting bartenders if they're in danger or uncomfortable.
Why do they need a "secret way"? If they're in public, at a bar, the woman can just end the date.
That's what I was thinking.
I thought women were supposed to be "empowered"? If you're an adult, act like it. Take responsibility for yourself and your own safety. You don't have to play games and use code phrases.
Then there will be those who don't know what an "owl shot" is and they'll end up getting set up by their "friends" "hey, go order an owl shot with a lime!". I foresee a lot of drama.

Sometimes a guy won't take "this date is over" for an answer, especially if he's liquored up. Unfortunately I've seen this in action recently.

Reality is fond of piercing straight through the gender activist fantasy bull#*t, and sometimes that means a woman imminently needs the protection of a man or men from another man or men. Such times are not the occasion to glibly retort, "but aren't you empowered?"

Depends on if they have a follow-up plan. In the incident I mentioned above, once the bartender became aware of what was happening, the bouncers were alerted whereupon they surrounded, occupied, and distracted the guy long enough for the bartender to call the lady an Uber to get her out of there safely. Then once she was out of sight so he couldn't follow her, they kicked him out -- but not before scanning his ID and putting it in their "banned patrons" database.

My retort of "but aren't you empowered" was not glib at all. A lot of these SAME women are the same types of women who wear "MOMS DEMAND ACTION" tshirts and try to take away the right of OTHER women who take responsibility for their own safety. A lot of these same types of women disparage men on a regular basis but then when they suddenly need help from a man.... well their tune changes. Too much hypocrisy going on in the world. Women: Take responsibility for your OWN safety at ALL times. Stop depending on strangers to save you. Have a plan.
I want the bartender to make me drinks, not play chaperone.
