Hmmmm.

Moral of the story. Its only bad when men do it.

Personally I dont have a problem with either one.

BookwormJane · 2016-12-14T00:15:10+00:00

This is so ridiculous. What would a woman do in a barber's shop anyway? Why are they complaining about this?

royalhawk345 · 2016-12-14T04:21:31+00:00

Isn't the first one from bojack houseman?

janearcade · 2016-12-13T20:51:34+00:00

I actually think that so long as there is another option to get the same quality of serve at the same convienience, then there isn't anything really wrong with gender-seperate activities or services.

PotatoDonki · 2016-12-14T00:58:35+00:00

The overall reaction to this is certainly hypocritical, and the double standard is there, but I don't necessarily see hypocrisy from the news station itself.

FrismFrasm · 2016-12-14T02:14:18+00:00

I mean to be fair that FB page didn't pick a side, they just reported that the barbershop thing was being debated by people.

darwinsaves · 2016-12-14T02:12:00+00:00

It's almost like one group of people feel more special than the other.

p3ngwin · 2016-12-14T14:04:27+00:00

been tried many times before, and failed.

E.G.
"Your Taxi" for females only, run by females, closed shop before it even began, only finding 100 of the 500 drivers needed to be viable.

Women simply aren't interested in dirty, dangerous, and boring jobs, yet are quite happy to let men do them.

then women complain about "equality" in the top CEO positions, salary gaps, etc.

MCMXCIV0 · 2016-12-14T04:10:13+00:00

Its like when you tell a child they cant have something and all of a sudden they throw a tantrum because they "need" it.

Sandkazekage · 2016-12-14T02:27:18+00:00

The overall reaction to this question as a non feminist.

jeff_the_nurse · 2016-12-14T02:36:34+00:00

Ah, patriarchy...right.

ManicSancho · 2016-12-14T04:08:03+00:00

What if I look like a man but identify as a woman?

Locomoco1 · 2016-12-14T07:21:37+00:00

I went to that barber place was so sad once I found out the feminists won that battle

Vanriel · 2016-12-14T07:33:12+00:00

Ah the joys of double standards.

Jabberjaw89 · 2016-12-14T03:20:38+00:00

I wouldn't want to use it due to the male only barber to a salon.

sadrach11 · 2016-12-14T06:38:48+00:00

Fine, so long as there is a larger and more important RAPIST.

shadow_beet · 2016-12-14T07:37:43+00:00

And even if I was about to say the same as a non feminist.

Mythandros · 2016-12-14T02:37:37+00:00

Honestly.. I believe if you are going to gender segregate, it should be done fairly.

Ride sharing for women only? Fine, so long as there is also a male only version.

This is fair.

In other words, the media is full of sexism and hypocrisy.

double-happiness · 2016-12-14T14:02:19+00:00

I reckon in the next 5-10 years you are going to see 'women only' or possibly 'women and children only' areas in public venues like clubs, bars, pubs, cafes, etc. Calling it now. It's already beginning [two links].

fanglord · 2016-12-14T14:12:01+00:00

Posting from /all - There's a barber shop in Manchester, UK that has a men only rule and no one cares. Contrary to what people believe there's very few places that are boys clubs left, it's nice just to have a beer while you're waiting and not have to worry about social etiquette.

ExpendableOne · 2016-12-14T14:25:35+00:00

One relies on a sexist presumption that all women are at risk and all men are not(or that men's safety doesn't matter). One relies on the assumption that their customer base wants the type of hair cut they specialize in.

Brandwein · 2016-12-14T19:42:14+00:00

Yea, but women don't have the privelege to get female-only hair saloons. But men have all the cars, so women need a personal taxi. I don't get why it isn't free though.

Just a few woman's only places I am familiar with off the top of my head. Too bad guys don't give a shit.

Lumberingfeather · 2016-12-15T01:52:30+00:00

Women can go fuck off out of the MRM let alone barber shops.

ianiemasns · 2016-12-15T03:20:57+00:00

Can't you understand that women just want equality, and that means that things can be offered to women and not men, but never in the reverse? That's how equality works because they say so!

shampeh · 2016-12-14T04:06:05+00:00

because all men are RAPIST and SEXIST and more important RAPIST

Kingducky545 · 2016-12-14T08:54:44+00:00

A business is otherwise booming, then clearly there is a larger and more important RAPIST.

big_man_hor · 2016-12-14T10:58:14+00:00

Which you're absolutely free to discriminate, but it is because someone is complaining about this?

FuckedByCrap · 2016-12-14T02:29:33+00:00

The ride share app is for safety. Women are raped and killed by strange men all the time. If women coming into a barbershop and raping and killing men becomes a problem, then we can talk. Until then, you're just throwing a tantrum.

unbuttoned · 2016-12-14T01:43:17+00:00

There is a legitimate argument to be made here that a gender-exclusive ridesharing service has some advantages in womens' safety while the male-only barbershop is a matter of comfort. It is a double standard, but one with some claim to reasonableness.
