>So in the country you live in, a shop owner is free to kick out women from his phone store, simply for being a woman

But why would anybody do such a crazy thing? Such things just don't happen, unless it's a gynaecologist office, where men are generally not admitted.

Moreover, we have thousands of shops available. If a shop refuses a customer, they just lose money.

>Even if a white person wanted to offer housing to black people, the white person was discriminated against.

Again, we just don't have such a thing. Don't project your social issues upon us. You can rent or not rent out your flat out to anyone you want, nobody else's business.

>Collective private action used to reinforce a white supremacist social structure.

This is clearly illegal. But I don't see licensing as an answer to this. Just a decent police service is needed.

>It's also clear in places like licensing, where someone cannot simply say "I am a medical doctor"

Because in such cases a concluded transaction can cause non-financial damage to the sides of the said transaction.

It has nothing to do with the bargaining process.

If there is no transaction, there is nothing to discuss.
