A Manhattan pharmacy has begun charging its male customers an extra 7 percent “man tax” as a protest against gender-based income inequality as well as a political move to promote Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.

Nope,read the story,owner is paying womens tax

That might be a nice try at a legal loophole, but bottom line is the pricing is purely discriminatory.

“Isn’t this illegal?”

No... just female logic at work.... </s>

Sorry, the antagonist in me couldn’t resist!

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

New Yorkers are not that bright, frankly.

Bet their pricing on birth control pills has a much smaller markup than Viagra!

They are most likely already putting it to men in their pricing of drugs...

But, well, NYC.

This is not sexist the way blacks cannot be racist. Of course it is sexist, and they can be racist, but we will be told 1000 ways why it’s impossible.

Laugh at anyone who whips that argument out. Loudly.

After reading the article I can't help but picture the bitter, man-hating lesbian bookstore owners on Portlandia as the owners of this pharmacy.

“If, in Manhattan, 99% of your clientele were women, what difference would a man tax make?”

Reminds me how businesses with 0% disabled customers must ALL configure their stores (at their own expense) to accommodate wheelchairs, blind, and deaf customers under the ADA. Or face a lawsuit.

If despite a lot of grousing, most American women still really like American men, this antic may well put this idiot out of business. The harridans on NOW & the Clinton campaign, really do not speak for all their sisters.

A lot more women are secretly for Trump than the Leftists imagine.

I don’t know about the legality but it’s not a tax. Only the govt can tax. What govt dept is receiving the “tax revenue”?

“Tell me again why any male would vote for Clinton?”

There is a term in the MGTOW community... white-knight mangina.

I suspect the majority of them will vote for Hillary.

It is frightening. The left is becoming more and more disconnected from this world with each passing day. You cannot reason with them because they live in an alternate reality.

In the name of fighting discrimination, they have become what they say they hate.

I think a group of male protesters should go in there, all claim to identify as women, and if a store employee gives them an argument, they should file complaints against the pharmacy under the New York City gender pronoun laws.

Isn’t that effectively cutting down your customers by 75% ?

50% because men won’t shop there...
and
25% because conservative women won’t shop there...
