Feminist vegan hopes the move will provoke people into discussing unfair treatment of women
A CAFE is making waves after it began charging blokes more money in a bid to close the gender pay gap.
The feminist vegan owner of Handsome Her eatery in Melbourne, Australia, is making them pay an 18 per cent “man tax” as well as giving women priority over seating.
Owner Alex O’Brien told Broadsheet website: “I do want people to think about it, because we’ve had this (pay discrepancy) for decades and decades and we’re bringing it to the forefront of people’s minds.
“I like that it is making men stop and question their privilege a little bit.”
Ms O’Brien says the response from her customers has been positive, with one man even donating $50 (£30) to the cause.
She said: “There’s been nothing but positivity from everyone, males and females.”
But the reaction on social media has been mixed, with some praising while others are outraged.
One Twitter user said: “This makes me sick. What the hell is wrong with these stupid women. Rules for men to enter?”
While Jack Saba tweeted: “Your “cafe” is sexist.”
The extra money will be donated to the Elizabeth Morgan House which supports Aboriginal women and children.
It comes as a row broke out over the gender pay gap after the salaries of top BBC earners were revealed.
The broadcaster published a full list of the 96 people who earn more than £150,000 exposing a huge disparity in wages, with just one woman – Claudia Winkleman – featuring in its top ten best-paid stars.
Prime Minister Theresa May was among those to blast the figures and call for the Beeb to pay men and women the same.
She said: “What has happened today is we have seen the way the BBC is paying women less for doing the same job as the men.”
“Do many alpha males hang out there?
Just wondering...”
“Feminist vegan “ should be a Drudge cherry light for any normal man.
If a steakhouse did this to women it would be sexual discrimination.
Nice find. I especially like #3: “Respect goes both ways.” No, it obviously does not.
Hopefully sued out of business. What MAN eats vegan anyway?
Yup. This is a clear case of sexual discrimination. Turn the tables on these leftists with a lawsuit.
These people are crazy. Going to the expense of opening a restaurant - bad enough it’s for vegans, only - and doing everything they can to repel at least 50% of their remaining, potential, clientele.
Do they not think that men will just find another place to eat?
She acts like all men are equal, she ought to charge by the inch to be fair.
Public accommodation... but not worth the lawsuit.
My attitude is that if she wants to discourage male customers , she should make the tax 100 or 200%
Prime rib...medium rare...baked potato (with lots of butter)...baby carrots and/or asparagus (with lots of butter)...carrot cake or strawberry shortcake.
And then just lounge in the afterglow....feeling very much like the afterglow of another activity.
Is she also gay?
My favourite skit show!
...Except rules 1 & 2.
Oops, Chaz Bono would have to pay extra.
If this were in the U.S., I would go there, have the meal but refuse to pay the additional 18%. This is disparae treament based on gender and likely unconstitutional.
Let em’ sue me. We’ll see who wins at the end of the day.
disparae=”disparate”.
I’m guessing that Paul Hogan, better known as Crocodile Dundee, won’t be seen there.
LOL, good question.
What if one identifies as woman?
