Melbourne cafe charges men more than women to offset "wage" gap

Don't fall for their attention seeking trap.

Should be a simple case for the AHRC... Sections 5 and 22 (1b) of the 1984 Sex Discrimination Act...

Section 5 is basically "by their sex or a characteristic perceived to be tied to their sex" (paraphrased)

22-1b is:

in the terms or conditions on which the first-mentioned person provides the other person with those goods or services or makes those facilities available to the other person; or

so.... the price (edit: also, the priority seating shown on the chalkboard)

Why... not just... pay their female employees the same amount as their male ones and be done with it?

Yeh, but what if a man goes in there and identifies as a woman??? Hmm

respect goes both ways

That word doesn't mean what she thinks it means.

I'm curious as to what kind of man would bother going there.

What's the gender workplace death gap these days? About 97% men is it? So how about we kill 3 in 100 female customers - sounds fair.

Are they still in business.

Ethics and legality aside, discriminating against the customers with the most money doesn't seem like a sound business practice.

Can't comment -- busy flying down to Melbourne to take a dump on that woman's head.

Ok then, just upsize the men's orders one; if they're going to pay more, then they should get more coffee since they worked harder in harder jobs to earn that money.

I really wonder why veganism has allied with the feminist movement so much... I mean, I get the whole idea that vegans are usually more "conscious" of what they think of as discrimination, but it's just so frustrating that many vegans are also spiritualists (i.e. believe in crazy esoteric shit that has no basis in science) and feminists (i.e. this example, which also has no basis in economic reality). It's sad to see how most vegans focus more on the part where their diet 'gives them more energy' and is 'kindness and happiness', and neglect the statistics and numbers. That kind of shit, where they care more about feelings, is probably why you have these batshit insane people that discriminate in the name of fairness. (Just like those that destroy property etc. when violent methods will literally only harm their cause.)

Same with environmentalists, really. Caring about the environment and trying to reduce your carbon footprint really shouldn't make you a crazy feminist and/or esoteric, but apparently those things go hand-in-hand. Sad thing, really, as global warming is one of the biggest issues but it's so clustered within these feminist/extreme left viewpoints where you are pretty much forced to accept these other ideologies.

I couldn’t imagine what the misinformed male cucks must look like who buy coffee here. This is the very definition of sexism, what a fucking joke.

What if you don't identify as a man. How dare they assume my gender!

MeEvilBob · 2017-12-25T23:52:33+00:00

You run your own business, you get to make the rules. I'm under no obligation to go to your business so I really don't care what the rules are at a business I won't go to. If this makes her some extra money from her normal clientel then good for her, a lot of places wouldn't be so honest about ripping off half their customers.
