A feminist activist has opened a store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that will charge men more than women to protest the "wage gap" she believes is badly hurting women in the United States.
The store, which will only be operating in Pittsburgh from April 1 until April 30, is called "76<100." According to its website, "<100 is a traveling pop-up shop for gender wage equality. Each installment of the project offers work from exceptional women artists, makers, and entrepreneurs from throughout the US, priced to reflect the wage gap in it’s respective location."
In Pittsburgh, men who enter the store will pay 100% of its cost. Women, in contrast, will only have to pay 76% of its cost.
The site explains, "Mirroring this inequality, male shoppers at this location will be charged 100% of the retail price of any item, while women and those who identify as women will be charged 76% of this price. Events held throughout the month will connect, empower, and promote local women and girls."

God bless the free market.
Lets see them try and charge black people more than whites.
You know, just to prove a point. See how long they get away with it.
In any event, this miserable experiment will fail. Miserably.
Men paying the stupid tax ? Stupid to shop there
Aren’t the feminists asking customers what gender they identify with before charging those who regard themselves as men the higher prices? /sarc
Charging different prices for the same item is not illegal?”
What about the person who goes in to shop that says he is “transitioning from male to female”,? whatever that means. Probably offer just the women a special rate if they “sign-up” for special deals, etc. Shops who do stuff like this don’t generally worry about legal or illegal as they think laws don’t apply to them.
Let ‘em have it. But I’m waiting for the ACLU to step in to protest discrimination against men. I won’t hold my breath.
What do they charge the transgendered?
Illegal. I’d like to go in and sue their Marxist man- hating a$$es off.
How can it not be a failure? It’s a store for women, and they are selling all merchandise at a near a huge discount to near 100% of their customers. (But they probably made a huge markup in the first place, so they are screwing their female customers)
“...pay 100% of its cost...”
Good business people, eh? Cost, not Price...
All a man has to say is that he's a girl and he pays only 76%.
As far as I'm concerned, ALL heterosexual men are lesbians. Think about it.
How much are they charging blacks, gays and Hillary?
Two things :
The market will whack this idiot witb a Clue by Fore
Equal protection under the law...
Why would a man be shopping in a “feminist store”?
Why would a man even ENTER a “feminist store”?
Well, that and the fact that feminists have notoriously loose morals and are easy game for predators who know the right buttons to push.
What about trans-gender?...do they “split the difference”
Gee, that sounds like a winning business strategy. /s
I predict all men in the area will shop there. /s
“...women and those who identify as women.....”
Needed a barf alert for just that phrase, IMHO.
Or muslims.
