Melbourne cafe charges male customers a gender tax

A café in Melbourne, Australia, is giving its male customers a side of gender equity with their lattes.

At Handsome Her, men are asked to pay an 18% premium to "reflect the gender pay gap." Men earn an average 17.7% more than women for full-time work in Australia, a government report found. The difference is roughly the same in the United States.

The café, which opened its doors for the first time Thursday, is hoping to shine a spotlight on the issue.

Swingers bars have been charging a gender tax for years. Single women get in for 5 dollars, single men for 60, although there are nights they aren't allowed at all (thankfully).

They're just man-hating dykes. Don't give them any respect.
Misandrony is everywhere. If women were really treated like men most of them would be dead.
