quote:

Handsome Her, which opened as a “space for women, by women,” received backlash for what critics called reverse sexism.


[img]The café asked male patrons upon checkout if they wanted to pay an optional surcharge meant to represent the gender pay gap and offered female patrons priority seating.[/img]

quote:

co-owner Alexandra O’Brien said the Handsome Her team will continue to pursue its mission to drive change with “hands-on” work across Australia.


quote:

O'Brien said allegations of sexism only proved “how fragile masculinity is” and confirmed the need to “confront and dismantle patriarchy.”


quote:

Handsome Her conducted business for the last time on April 14 but will hold one final day of “story-telling, dancing, singing, eating and drinking” on Sunday.



Seems like the co-owner can't make up her mind if she wants to run a business or a nonprofit charity.

So we've learned that subpar treatment of roughly half your clientele is a bad business model.


I wonder if anybody got all offended when they assumed his gender.

This is why any business should be able to do wtf they want.

In the end, let the free market decide if their decision makes sense financially.

I don't get the term reverse-sexism... If it's sexist then it's sexist doesn't matter if it's man or woman

Same goes for reverse-racism too

Sure, but if you're running a business, the goal is to profit, not to signal your virtue, or teach your customer base a lesson.

For instance, if I walked into a restaurant and the first words out my server's mouth were "Prejudice is prejudice is wrong", I'd probably leave and go to a place where the server told me about the specials.

I wonder how many women this place hired when they were moving their equipment in, setting up plumbing, electrical, ventilation, I wonder how many women farmers raised the crops they sold, I wonder how many women were working in the water and sanitation department to keep their water flowing,...could the answer be none?

The pay gap is a myth. The death gap is real. What are they planning to do to get woman to die as quickly as men?

Feminists only point out the "patriarchy" when life is against them. When they benefit from the patriarchy, it's usually not mentioned out of convenience.

Politics and religion is never good for business unless you are Chikfila. If you are a mom and pop you need to appeal to as large a swath of the population as is possible.

No such thing as reverse racism. It’s just racism.

Good.

SJW liberals are true scum of the earth. They’re just one notch below CNN and ISIS.
