Vegan cafe charges male customers 18 percent ‘man tax’

[William Tell]

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.

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

Oh, and btw...

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?

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.

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

you know that is about all a herbivore does all day long, right? Stupid animals is what you aspire to...no Internet for you, haha.

They would end up like this


Not where I want to end up.

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.

I'll take your word on that.

go to your local zoo, check it out, its a sight worth seeing.

Riight. Shouldn't you be checking the ph levels in your swim pool now before going to bed?

Yes, cats are carnivores. I'm not sure what your point is though...humans are not obligate carnivores. Why bring up kitties?

[specsaregood]

already did, just got out of it. its currently up at hottub temperature. thanks for checking.

Yep. Well, it was a little boring around here earlier so I can understand someone wanting to stir the pot, ha ha.

Man is not an ox either, he is an omnivore like a bear.

I suppose.


Anyway. It's getting late. Come on...

The tree hugging granola crowd will be looking to ban cats and dogs soon because climate change.

[lilymc]

I suppose.

Ok.

[euphemia]

I guess now that gender is fluid, I guess a man can say, "Wow, you shouldn't judge by appearances. I don't self-identify that way."

[Anti Federalist]

I'll take your word on that.

[fedupinmo]

Yeah. The manliest ones who do only do it to get the vegan chicks.
