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."

Charging different prices for the same item is not illegal?
This sounds like a bargin to me. Charge me 100 and the girls 76 and I don’t have to go in the store and buy anything.
What, why not charge them less for items where the item has the desired message as an incentive to buy them?
Not if you’re a liberal, feminazi.
Sounds like the bookstore in Portlandia!
This must be said...If a guy tried this...
Why would a red blooded straight American male go into one of these feminists stores in the first place ?
>>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.
Cake bakers and wedding photographers: pay attention. Get some stats on how much more gays make than straight people and raise the prices accordingly.
The good news is that this is probably illegal, and hopefully a man sues this business for all its worth.
They think they might get laid without consequences?
I bet that a lot of metrosexual males will go in and buy things and ruffle their pretty feathers in support.
Men will vote in numbers and tell their wives to shop elsewhere, this will be a total failure, I hope it fails big time...
Besides this is considered price gouging, isn’t there laws on the books for merchants over charging consumers for their products ?
This business should be reported to the Better Business Burial..
Violates the public accommodation laws. File a civil rights complaint.
Guess what would happen to a store which charged higher prices to blacks.
REPORT THESE BUSINESS TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BURIAL FOR PRICE GOUGING and CHEATING THEIR COSTUMERS OF THEIR MONEY.
I’d like to go to work for this store. Using their liberal logic, they will pay me 13% more money than a woman would make for doing the same work.
I’ve no problem with that.
You mean like ? telling His wife or girlfriend how much he got cheated at that store by paying for her that dress and shoes ?
