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."

Speaking of...
Jeb Bush is a maggot.
Just go in and identify yourself as a person of female gender identity. If the clerk doesn’t accept that, then just say that they are a hater because they don’t accept my notion of gender.
Because all the guys I know always shop at the feminist run stores. Some even seek them out. /s
How much are they charging blacks, gays and Hillary?
Blacks don’t get a break, they just get smiles and a pat on the back because they figure they’ll think it’s a deal from white liberals.
Gays and Hitlery are free.
Sounds like a discrimination lawsuit to me.
This is illegal and they will get shut down as soon as someone complains. Then they will use that as a soapbox on thr news which is all this is about in the first place.
[I predict all men in the area will shop there.]
Without the sarc, I think you have it SAM.
Guys go into the store, take a lot of things to the register and when informed they will be paying the higher price, they just make an appropriately nice comment and then walk out without buying anything.
So a Christian store can charge homosexuals a premium?
Or a men’s store can charge women 125% on an item for dealing with them?
I’d love someone to sure the pants off the beotches.
Harumph. If I’m going to be overcharged for my reusable menstrual cup, I shall take my business elsewhere!
Do they charge more for a Dildo? It’s modeled after a man.
Walk in wearing an "I Love the NRA" shirt, your oldest most comfortable jeans, boots and a cowboy hat. Then tell them you self-identify as a woman and demand the women's prices.
Use their tactics against them. Let hilarity ensue.
That’s great! I’d love to screw with them and tell them I’m 17% Native American, and adjust the price accordingly. See how long that takes!
Just like Muslim refusal to deal with homosexuals isn't an issue because they're not Christians...
The gender pay gap affects all women, but for women of color the pay shortfall is worse. Asian American women’s salaries show the smallest gender pay gap, at 90 percent of white men’s earnings. Hispanic women’s salaries show the largest gap, at 54 percent of white men’s earnings. White men are used as a benchmark because they make up the largest demographic group in the labor force.
If they wanted to describe the gender gap for minorities, they should obviously have compared black women to black men, not white men. But that would probably have shown black women earning more than black men, putting a serious dint in their claim of gender gap.
Amazing.
