Vegan cafe charges male customers 18 percent ‘man tax’

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.”

She said that it was optional. They don't have to pay it if they don't want. Seems like she's respecting one's freedom of choice.

As far as seating ladies first, I dunno. What guy is gonna say 'no me first.' Ladies are always first. I even pull her chair out for her. It's how ya get laid nice and good, boys. lol.

Oh. Well, I don't go to the club alone so I look at it like they're saving me money by not making me pay her cover.

And I'll have you kow that my baby said my big watch looks masculine. :mad:
 
Real men shouldn't eat at vegan joints anyway.

There's nothing manly about eating meat. In fact, imo the opposite is true.

Oh, and btw...

Hm, maybe you are onto something. Perhaps Lions would be stronger if they cut out the middleman and ate grass as well.

Yeah, I'll be sure to tell the elephant and rhinoceros that they're not very strong, what with all that plant eating. :p

Why would I eat grass and become as dumb as an ox when I could eat a balanced diet and be as strong and smart as a bear?

But think how much healthier and stronger those bears would be if they gave up eating fish meat and honey and went vegan.

Did anybody say the Ox wasn't strong? He is strong. You often have pictures of cute kittens, so tell me, have you tried feeding them a vegan diet? How long do they live one one? The cat food with less meat used to make my cats unhealthy within a couple generations their kittens were dying at birth. there have been studies done on it.

not true, the other half of the day they are pooping. Ever seen a rhino take a dump? It is simply awe-inspiring. its like a giant blackhole opening up and watermelon sized turds dropping out by the dozen.

I'll take your word on that.
