I'm conflicted. A Men's haircut is like $15 where as a Women's haircut is more like $25+

However women's hair takes much longer to cut and style than a Man's. I can justify this.

In this case a nail is a nail and a toe is a toe. So it seems wrong.

This guy took his date to get manicures and pedicures. Huh???? Isn't that what you do before the date?

"Hey baby, let's go watch each other get our callouses scraped off."

Just...no. I mean, go ahead and get your nails done on the level, but don't start calling it the Rosa Parks of manicure rights. Sheesh...

I have no problem with this. The beauticians gets used to a process which would be different for men's style. They have to put emphasis on the buffing because men's styles don't allow for polish to cover it up. They have to cut slightly differently than they usually do to avoid having nails look effeminate, this also takes more time on their part as they beautician is not used to this. In general men's feet (and hands to a lesser extent) need more work as they do not visit pedicures and manicures as frequently. There is also the sanitary issue. The real issue that is worth noting is that we make the women feel uncomfortable with our mere presence. Attacking industry like this does nothing to remedy that situation.

Ultimately I have not problem with gender specific aimed businesses Barbers charge ALOT more for women and some refuse to even work on women, salons charge more for women.

If they have a strong social aspect I might even prefer gender exclusivity. I want strip clubs women can only work at, and bars, and GYMS oh my god I used to go to a men's only gym it was AWESOME. There were pictures of naked women on the walls near the lifting equipment. This for some reason pushed me to work out harder. Watching hot women work out has the same effect, but then they treat me like a pervert for watching them when they are "vulnerable". When are they doing ANYTHING that doesn't make them "vulnerable"?
