Fedoras for equality. Pub chain apologises after threatened with discrimination case for ordering man to take his hat off.

I don't think hats should be worn indoors and many bars will ask you to take them off.

However, there were apparently women in that pub wearing hats and they weren't asked to remove them. Gotta be consistent with your policies.

He should have went elsewhere for a drink, Slug & Lettuce is shit.

We do not discriminate against any of our customers and I was saddened to read you felt this way.

Except that they DID discriminate as a matter of policy so casually they didn't even realize they were doing it...and "saddened you felt this way" is not an apology. It's a backhanded way of saying "it's your fault, not ours".

“I can only apologise for this. We have taken learnings from this going forward.”

Ugh. What a lot of wank.

Helen Charlesworth did a very impressive job handling the situation, very impressive in deed. Fair even handed, and respectful, but with an eye to practicality as well.

Never throw a hat on the bed.

Good. As I've said before we need a range of approaches and methods to tackle men's rights and stop feminism from grinding us into the dirt. Legal methods and highlighting double standards that are unacceptable are one of many important things.

I understand the etiquette nonsense, but is also proper etiquette that an establishment provide proper climate control so a man doesn't freeze his buns off whilst removing said hat. I'll only take it off if it's not ice cold.
