Urgent: Women are UNSAFE at The Standard brand of hotels

Dujour magazine ran an ad in its summer issue for The Standard hotels clearly meant to warn women to steer clear of the hotel or face violence and/or death. 
At least, that's what I assume the ad means.


Considering The Standard Hotels also apparently doesn't provide basic maternity leave or support for their female staff, it seems obvious that they don't want the business of women.  Right?

Let's thank Dujour CEO Jason Binn for publishing this public service announcement letting women know they aren't welcome at The Standard brand of hotel.  You can Tweet at him here or let him know on the Dujour Facebook page.  And, of course, let's also express our appreciation to The Standard hotels' owner Andres Balazs for forewarning us to stay away.

If you would prefer to send them hard copy thank you notes, you can do so here:
