Should clubs be allowed to dictate to women what they should wear?

Taboo Nightclub in Sandton tweeted its dress code for women - and South Africans are outraged.
Many clubs have a dress code that excludes sneakers and pumps, sometimes ripped jeans and short sleeves, too. Taboo posted a tweet recently stating that women who wear certain shoes to their club will not be allowed in. The rules include no kitten heels, no pumps, no slides, and sneakers.

Have a look at the tweet below and let us know what you think. Are these rules sexist?
