New York Pharmacy Takes a Stand by Introducing a "Man Tax" - it may be a few months old but still very relevant

"We want to bring awareness on how it feels to be a woman, so the men actually get to feel it."

93% of workplace injuries and fatalities affect men. How about some compassion for them? How about the men who don't get to spend time with their children because they work far from home, or the ones who work outdoors in any weather while women tend to work indoors?

Or do they prefer to cherry pick issues that conform to their particular bias?

Do they not consider that maybe the cost going into producing and marketing female porducts are actually higher? Looking at my razor compared to my wifes razor makes the obviously clear. Stupid practice too, considering women could just do the shoping here for the man's products that he needs. Way to fail.

Actually giving women a lower price as store policy surely infringes discrimination laws.

They could put the signs up to raise awareness of the practice but not actually charge men more / women less, and that would be just as effective.

Who gives a shit? Any man who sees this sign in the window will shop elsewhere. Problem solved.

Yes, it is a few months old. Are they still doing this? It's discriminatory as can be be, but it is against men, so who in government will care?

A neighboring bar or restaurant should introduce a "female tax" on drinks and meals. Except, of course, men would just end up paying it one way or another anyway.

What if I am one of the 55 other genders in New York.

Companies don't charge more because the product is for women, they charge more because either the production run is lower or demand is higher. In short they charge more whenever they have to recoup higher production costs and where people are willing to pay more. Same reason left-handed versions and xxxl versions of a lot of products cost more. It's not discrimination against left-handed people or larger people, it's just supply and demand.

I'll just say I identify as a woman, problem solved. Top kek

What about boys under 16? Since they probably don't have a job are they exempt? I know they enjoy changing the meaning of words and phrases so ALL MALES could mean only adults, if they aren't complete scum fucks, that is

Profligate spenders get charged more. Simple market principle. If they could get away with charging men more, you don't think they would?

I'd have loved the money I won from suing that store.

I believe what they're doing is entirely fine, but laws don't agree. I support people to have freedom of association unlimitedly, no matter who is offended. Unless laws are fixed, everyone has to play by the same stupid rules

Why the repost? What's the point?
