Feminist-owned vegan cafe that boasted charging 18% 'man tax' goes out of business
It's all the fault of the Patriarchy, apparently.
A lesbian-owned vegan cafe in Melbourne, Australia that charged an 18% “man tax” shuttered this week after less than two years in business (video below).
The Handsome Her restaurant made headlines in 2017 when it announced rules giving preferred seating to its female customers and began charging an 18% premium for men to “protest the gender pay gap.”
It's all the fault of the Patriarchy, apparently.
“When we opened Handsome Her in 2017, we expected that perhaps we might make a stir through our brazen public discussions of structural inequality and oppression.
The Man Tax blew up the internet — an idea that we didn’t think was all too radical. Yet the way the world responded showed us how fragile masculinity is and solidified the necessity for us to confront and dismantle patriarchy.
