You cannot under Danish law base a price difference simply on gender, there needs to be an objective criterion. On average women have longer hair than men, but that's no reason to charge all women a  higher price.
If you don't like the equal treatment principle - or think the government should mind its own business - you can call it a "joke law", but the court was simply doing its job interpreting the law. No other outcome was really possible in this case. So you cant reasonably call it a joke court.

Denmark is certainly a joke. However, maybe they can create a new export industry with the byproduct of all this:  Viking testicles.

The idea that treating men and women equally emasculates men is quite ridiculous.
