    Cafe for woman, if men patronage they get slugged surcharge

    Wouldn't think this was legal in these days of anti discrimination, not that I would bother going there mid you.
    Melbourne cafe suggests 18pc 'gender pay gap' surcharge for male customers - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    I got no issues with with....paying 18%to be the only male amongst a bunch of chics might be a good thing for some blokes.

    Re: anti-discrimination, there are women only gyms, men only clubs, gender specific night clubs.......****ed if I know why this bothers people, if you cannot find other venues for entertainment or exercise than you ain't liking hard enough. These gender specific venues are generally found in capital cities where the market is flooded

    Sometimes I feel it easy for people to throw the discrimination flag in the air just like sueing in the states

    It's in he article. Goes to a charity.

    If that's what they want to do, that's what they want to do. I've just been browsing social media. I wouldn't have noticed it had Mario not posted.
    I would never have visited the café before I read the article. I will never visit the café now that I have read it. It is just not on my radar.

    I'd much rather go to the Chocolate Mill.

    It looks to me like the hairy armpit/legs brigade is having a "Hissy Fit" with that sign, Personally I would rather spend my extra 18% in pay on a counter meal at a Pub

    It's a protest at the average gender pay gap. And only applies once in every 4 weeks. And has been priceless advertising for the café. Storm in a teacup, Must be a slow day in Melbourne.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Yeah, I think so. Nothing else going on, although the sun is out which I'm sure will be a big talking point after yesterday.
