Places not on my bucket list
« on: August 06, 2017, 09:23:53 PM »
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4176712/men-tax-pay-more-melbourne-cafe/

Cafe in Australia charges males an 18% "man tax" to [purportedly] compensate for the wage inequality and to remind them of their "male privilege." They also give women seating priority.

If this place were anywhere near me I'd have to go there once, just to give me standing to sue for gender discrimination. I'm still trying to figure out how overcharging me by 18% in any way conveys the idea that I'm privileged. Seems more like a notice that I'm being discriminated against.

At least it wasn't a different thread that you started then forgot about...

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

White cis-male privilege means you can start your own damn threads, heedless of any similar threads that may already be present.
