The feminist vegan owner of Handsome Her eatery in Melbourne, Australia, is
making them pay an 18 per cent “man tax” as well as giving women priority over
seating.

Trevor...is your real name Alex O’Brien?

If you're offended by this, don't go. If you support the cause, go. It's not brain surgery, you misogynistic cunt.

Scottie was energized by Sessions launching a crusade against the
oppression of Affirmative Action at private universities. White power!

**What the fuck are you banging on about? Here in Australia, we don't
have compulsory attendance at cafes or restaurants. We can choose where
and when we eat. If we decide that the owners of a particular eatery
have a point about wage inequity in this country, then we can support
that cause. Or not.

If you refused to seat based on gender you'd be discriminating in the US.
Are you discriminatory down under?

Any 'man' being a vegan deserves to be taxed for it. Real men eat meat.

**Of all the banal things you say, this ranks right up there with one of
the most banal.

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/89/5/1627S.full

"Vegan diets are usually higher in dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid,
vitamins C and E, iron, and phytochemicals, and they tend to be lower in
calories, saturated fat and cholesterol, long-chain n–3 (omega-3) fatty
acids, vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and vitamin B-12 (8). In general,
vegetarians typically enjoy a lower risk of cardiovascular disease
(CVD), obesity, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers (3). A vegan diet
appears to be useful for increasing the intake of protective nutrients
and phytochemicals and for minimizing the intake of dietary factors
implicated in several chronic diseases (9). In a recent report (10),
different plant food groups were rated with respect to their
metabolic-epidemiologic evidence for influencing chronic disease
reduction. According to the evidence criteria of the World Health
Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization (WHO/FAO), cancer
risk reduction associated with a high intake of fruit and vegetables was
assessed as probable or possible, risk of CVD reduction as convincing,
whereas lower risk of osteoporosis was assessed as probable (10). The
evidence for a risk-reducing effect of consuming whole grains was
assessed as possible for colorectal cancer and probable for type 2
diabetes and CVD. The evidence for a risk-reducing effect of consuming
nuts was assessed as probable for CVD (10)."

And so on. Claiming that "real men eat meat" makes about as much sense
as claiming that real men smoke 40 a day, or down a dozen beers a day.

Do you get a version of Faux Nooz? In the U.S., the Fauxsies
proclaimed the "end of racism" in 2009. The Scotties were oh so
relieved at that, let me tell you.

Uh-oh. Scottie's SuperStoopid™ IKYABWAI sprayer has died a miserable
death. Better crank up the nonsequitur generator.

Whew! At least that device is working. God™ forbid Scottie can't
participate in his beloved "discussions" because of a mechanical
failure.

Real men don't worry about that shit. Real men eat fun foods. Metrosexual vegan wimps worry about long term health but get run over by a truck the next day and die young.

The extra 18% is added on once a week and is voluntary, it is not a compulsory charge.

they really should be spending time understanding why the pay gap is not the result of discrimination by anybody other than the women who choose to go into whatever careers they choose. Women choose differently than men in choosing a career, but whatever job they do it is the law that they have to be paid the same regardless. Women also have babies and take time off for that as well that men do not do as often or as much.

Saying there is a gender pay gap because of anything other than the choices of the gender in question is just nonsense. The facts do not corroborate the claim.

Not according to the Sun or the comments from the cafe owner or the picture of
the Cafe "Rules" posted at the door.
