Men charged 10% more for coffee

Law School. These are our future public defenders who will be defending men in court.

Anyone else find it ironic how they try to raise awareness of the "pay gap" by actively discrimination against men?

I mean really, how blind are these people to not see this?

Also known as: Let's use political topics as an excuse to charge people more and be congratulated for it.

No, really, I'm impressed. Whoever pitched this idea is probably getting all manner of high-fives from their company. It has the whole package, mo' money, mo' praise. I respect how devious it is.

Now if they could find a way to go about this without being shitty and dishonest, that would be even better. I mean, the logic behind the story of this is dismal, it really is. Charging men more to highlight an issue that women allegedly face makes sense of men are the ones responsible for their salary, otherwise this scenario is targeting the wrong people and is just a trivial excuse to charge more money. However, if this is true and men are responsible for their salary, then women are as well, and so it's their own problem that they're being paid less.

There is some truth to both of these things. Also some bullshit.

Men already pay 70% of taxes in the US and definitely don't get that much back in benefits (some of which they have to sign up for the draft to get while women get it for free). Kiss my ass.

Wow, what a load of sexist horseshit. It's amazing how truly toxic feminist rhetoric is. The pay gap has been LONG debunked and we still have people like this going around literally discriminating because of it. What next, do we charge more for female coffins to "raise awareness" to the 94% workplace death rate of men? I hope this sexist garbage gets boycotted to bankrupcy.

There are a great many women (22..40%) who meet all diagnostic criteria for A.D.D. (attention deficit disorder primarily innate native sub-type) both for genetic & simply gender reasons. Caffeine is a stimulant drug, although not the best choice because of side effects (combine impulse dis regulation with irritable & jittery). It does help so give the cows their cup of joe cheaper.

That's discrimination. You would think a law student would be able to recognize this suit. Is this not illegal?

Funny, but when a bunch of college students stage a protest by doing the same thing (but to raise awareness for discrimination against white and/or men in admissions) it is heavily frowned upon. As long as you are discussing the politically correct topics, it's perfectly fine.

aka, the cart you have a female friend buy the coffee for you. I do this at bars all the time on ladies nights. What are they going to do, not sell to women? Don't make me laugh.

Female models make way more than male models, so should women be charged more to buy magazines?

Who's the idiot that thought this was a good idea? Protesting (supposed) discrimination by.... discriminating against others. Pure stupid.

2012-11-29T06:18:52+00:00

This has officially pissed me off. I'm gonna go study now and try not to feel too enraged.

This is illegal under NZ anti-discrimination law.

"Ms Fedyszyn said the coffee cart had also featured in Auckland, where many men had resorted to getting their wives or girlfriends to buy their coffees for them. " - Go figure, same thing happens when men buy things for their girlfriend/wife.

This is nothing new. The campus activist bake sale phenomena is SO common on campuses in the US. Often it revolves around black people paying like .75 to the dollar, and asians like .8, hispanics some other fraction, and women the oft-quoted .78.

I hate it. It embodies everything I hate about college, namely the circle jerk that goes on between these student activists and their shitty professors that encourage this feminist, social justice crap. I mean, I can see how things are worse for minorities in America. But charging them less for stuff, like a form of AA, isn't the answer. And doing something wrong for the sake of sparking discussion is shameful.

But at the end of the day, it isn't very effective. Most people either boycott it or they just get around it by having a girl do it. Ladies night is different, because they do that because they know people dont go to bars that are sausage fests, so they act of preferentially treating women helps their business. The effect sucks, because women get all entitled and shit. But if they get free drinks, then I guess the poor saps there arent buying
