A vegan feminist cafe in Australia that imposed an 18 per cent “gender surcharge” on men and gave women priority seating has closed down.
The Handsome Her cafe, which only opened a few years ago and was located in inner city Melbourne, described itself as “by women, for women”.
The venue attracted headlines in 2017 for challenging the “gender pay gap” (which doesn’t exist) by charging men extra.
At the time, the cafe’s management claimed the attention left them “jam-packed with customers showing their support”.
Not anymore.
A notice on the cafe’s website says it’s closing for good on April 28.
The cafe attracted numerous negative reviews on Trip Advisor, with one man saying he had to deal with an “aggressive and irate woman” who called him a “vile beast” because he said he was dissatisfied with his meal.
Perhaps if the staff had focused on providing a good service for everyone and not discriminating against men, it might have been more profitable.

Too bad it didn’t last long enough for some guy to challenge their idiocy by claiming to be a transgender woman.
The market has spoken. This is the beauty of free enterprise.
Way to run a business ladies. You are supposed to use your head to make business decisions not your genitals.
Sad. They’ll never get to make me a sammich.
oops, correction: I mean Surcharge...

She needs an 18% gender discharge.
The 18% is more of a “stupid tax.”
Winning?
I guess that would really be more of a SirCharge.
Much like the Panera “Utopia” that asked customers to pay whatever they felt was fair to bring awareness of “food insecurity”.

I guess enough food insecure people took them up on their generosity.
What a great business plan.
"First, we aren't going to serve half the population.
Second, we will only serve raging feminist women.
Third, we are strictly vegan.
Fourth, we'll only hire surly and rude wait staff.Would you like to invest in us? It's a guaranteed, sure-fire win. Can't lose!"
I LOVE a Happy Ending! :)
They were served a big dish of crow.
Sexism just doesn’t sell.
Which one is the woman?

Excellent business plan. Start by alienating a cross section of would be customers with open hostility toward them.
