Seems like the “officially approved” version of sexual prejudice and harassment.

Gee, loving liberals don’t hate much, do they?

Only if you aren't allowed to to identify as a woman at the time of purchase. Gender binaries are so 2008.

Men shouldn’t shop there anymore

I wonder if they can stay in business if they automatically lost half of their business?

Retail depends on the numbers

I guess they can put whatever charges they want to on purchases. One restaurant added a charge for what they pay waitstaff’s health insurance. I don’t expect this pharmacy to stay in business much longer with that policy.

Let’s get some photos of the men who continue to buy from this place.

You’ll see what a real metrosexual looks like

It meets the definition of sex/gender discrimination. But it is “fighting” gender inequality and a ‘dangerous’ Republican, thus is “politically correct” & with liberal judges probably legal.

Very much illegal.

Time to slap this place with a “going out of business” tax.

In a high tax state and city like New York that will not go down well and the Legality of that is in serious doubt. Sounds like a good lawsuit and of course business loss will be a factor. Pharmacies are a dime a dozen in this world and you can bet their competitors will offer a lot to change over.

Interesting question. Can a business tax different groups/categories at a whim?

Manipulation. Women will flock to the store even after it’s declared illegal. I’ve seen it done in S.F. with IRA’s 20 years ago. Women got a better rate. Translated into a lot of deposits. Men ended up with the same rate after women ate it up.
