Woman denied haircut at men’s only barbershop in Westdale - filing human rights' complaint.

eDgEIN708 · 2013-08-26T21:02:32+00:00

If this goes through, I'm gonna have a field day filing a human rights complaint against Curves. They really need some sensitivity training too.

Perpetual_dissident · 2013-08-26T20:12:48+00:00

“There’s a barber out there who really needs some sensitivity,” she said, adding she’d like an apology and for the barber to undergo anti-oppression training. She also suggested he could offer free haircuts to women in need or make a donation to a sexual assault centre.

Jesus fucking christ.

Frankly_No · 2013-08-26T18:59:52+00:00

I thought the reason he gave was a little silly, and he should've at least compensated her for the voucher if he didn't offer her one, but she wants him to undergo "anti-oppression training"?! For fuck's sake, that sounds like a parody someone would come up with to make fun of SJWs.

narfig_agar · 2013-08-27T04:34:10+00:00

They went for a nice lunch, the barber explained that he only cuts mens hair because he's really bad at women's hair and he didn't want to do a bad job of it.

Last I heard she had dropped the complaint.

Everything_Is_Rape · 2013-08-26T20:25:34+00:00

a haircut denied is a haircut raped.

SteveHanJobs · 2013-08-26T19:28:33+00:00

At some barber schools men train professionally to only cut men's hair, it is not like all barbers are trained on how to do weaves/perms/highlighting for women, or even work with women's hair in much any way for that matter.

blazinganj · 2013-08-26T22:13:14+00:00

Google this woman and the entire issue becomes crystal clear. This twat was looking to start shit and she has. Now I guarantee this small business owner is going to have to deal with a huge shitstorm, all because this stupid cunt needed to stroke her ego. Fuck her. I wish every bad thing on her and anyone like her.

kelsoATX · 2013-08-26T22:26:51+00:00

He should have just given her a 30 second buzz cut. You want a men's cut at a men's barbershop you'll get one.

2013-08-26T22:13:20+00:00

I thought I'd seen this story here before, but this one from Nov 2012 is another lesbian in another Canadian barbershop. Evidently there's a haircut crisis in the community. The UN should be arranging an airlift of scissors.

I don't believe for a second that she wanted the haircut in the first place, not with her political credentials. This is all about destroying a male space and teaching those uppity men a lesson.

manak69 · 2013-08-26T22:59:15+00:00

Pretty sure the barber is allowed to refuse service to a costumer without needing proper explanation. If this matter became somewhat of a gender issue he can always rely on the fact the that he is ill experienced in cutting women's hair and he was only trained to cut mens. I don't know where or how she could win in this argument and it is more likely just a hindrance to the court system.

cwalk · 2013-08-26T23:31:24+00:00

I almost sided with her until I read "Angemi said men come from Westland, Toronto and Ottawa to get their hair cut at his shop, and they anticipate a women-free atmosphere". Cutting her hair would likely hurt his core business so he made a wise decision (even if it is contentious).

JaxPrat · 2013-08-26T20:12:06+00:00

I think it's a little more than interesting to find women vying to compete in men's professional sports.

I wonder how that would work in reversed roles.

So if I walk into a women only hair salon and am denied service, I can file a human rights complaint?

JaxPrat · 2013-08-27T01:41:41+00:00

OH COME ON.

Walk into Outback Steakhouse.

"Yes, I'm looking to buy a new pair of sneakers."

"Ma'am, this is a fucking restaurant."

"I'M BEING OPPRESSED JUST BECAUSE I WANT SHOES! YOU NEED TO GIVE OUT FREE SHOES TO THE SHOELESS OR MAKE A DONATION TO AFRICA BECAUSE YOU ARE SO INSENSITIVE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT SHOES."

She's literally just attacking a space that is woman-free, for no other reason to be a complete heel or to get some money out of them for fucking nothing.

JaxPrat · 2013-08-27T00:16:55+00:00

It's bitches like this who make the LGBTQ movement look bad.

2013-08-27T18:54:05+00:00

She's got a more man-style haircut, so the excuses about women's hair taking longer to cut just don't fly. I think she's right on a basic level, though she goes over the top about it.

In the US, if you're a business that's open to the public, you generally cannot discriminate against customers based on gender, religion, age, etc without a good reason. I would think that CA has similar laws.

Dude what the fuck ?

Theres no discrimination, theres no oppression and frankly she targeted a male only barbershop. Fucking feminists i swear to god

Clauderoughly · 2013-08-26T21:31:45+00:00

Oh look, a fat angry definitely lesbian feminist SJW.

Who'd have thunk it ?

Now watch as every other fucking mangina throws that store under the bus, to appease the feminist.

Sean Gibson, president of the Ontario Barber Association, said “As an association, we don’t condone such behaviour.”

Yup... This is why we can't have nice things

Roro-Squandering · 2013-08-26T20:50:09+00:00

Why would she even think she'd get a half-decent girl haircut at a man-only barber shop? To me barber shops is where men with low-maintenance 'dos go to get a trim. So unless she was there to get a mushroom cut I feel she just went in there specifically to push buttons.

giegerwasright · 2013-08-26T22:04:41+00:00

If she ever walks spends a single dime or a single moment at a "Curves" or any other women only business or attends a single other women only event or group, she should be levied with 10x what she cost this guy.

2013-08-27T00:18:11+00:00

God, typical idiot. She just has the look and all. These people are out to make a scene, to try and shout oppression at every opportunity they can. A private business has all the right in the world to deny anyone they please from purchasing or having their service. What is she going to do, get women to protest and not get hair cuts there? lol ohwait.

A barbershop is a 'safe space' for men.

JaxPrat · 2013-08-26T18:50:37+00:00

I think if I were the barber and this bitch came in telling me who's hair I can and cannot cut, I would agree to do the haircut. Then, I'd fuck it up so badly she'd need to wear a wig for a year.

But that's me...

(Ewww...you're gonna rot in hell for that one, Jax.)

2013-08-27T06:03:27+00:00

Typical Torontonian feminists, they're like rats here. Fat, short-hair, and a bleeding heart egalitarian. It's a such a shame, Canada back a hundred years ago is where men used to be men. Now men cannot even have their own barber shop, I am ashamed of what Canadians have turned into.

Funcuz · 2013-08-27T09:35:16+00:00

Well it's too late to put a stop to what are going to be some obvious misconceptions here but here's a little clarity either way.

Technically , you can't deny any service to anybody based on their sex as per Canadian law. That means you can walk right into a Curves , Fitness for Women and sign up if you want to. They can't deny you a membership and can't do anything to discourage you from putting your cash down and joining in on the activities.

The point is that you can tailor your business to whomever you choose but you can't deny anybody access to it based on their sex , race , religion , and whatever else we usually throw in there.

This lady was flatly refused service which is against Canadian law. Like it or not , she's right. Do with that information whatever you like but it's the law.

As to sensitivity training and all that other shit...well , what else would we expect from a modern , progressive type ? I mean , she classifies this as "oppression" which belies a deep misunderstanding of what that word actually means but then again , all "progressive" types share her definition so it's hardly a surprise.

Anyway , well , the law is clear and it's off to the Star Chamber for that barber.

2013-08-27T13:57:29+00:00

Maybe I should go into a Curves gym (a women's only gym) and demand to work out ... and when they try to expel me, I should sue them for human's rights violations.

Fight fire with fire.

2013-08-26T23:57:10+00:00

If this woman makes the barber do anything, I think it sets a precedence that women can exclude men from whatever they want but men can't. If this goes to court I hope the judge has some sense about that.

999papercranes · 2013-08-26T18:35:49+00:00

If she had a gift certificate for a men's haircut and wanted a men's haircut, what's the big deal?

cuteman · 2013-08-27T06:42:50+00:00

Should have given her a dude haircut.

Kate150 · 2013-08-26T22:10:44+00:00

She bought a voucher. If it didn't say on the voucher "men only" then he should have cut her hair. If it did, then he shouldn't. Simple.

blazinganj · 2013-08-26T21:44:58+00:00

This was wrong. She wanted a mans haircut, it's not like she wanted Goldilocks curls or some shit. This is an obvious case of sexist discrimination.
