By Tyler Durden: The owner of a Melbourne vegan cafe that hit men with an 18% surcharge to highlight the gender wage gap has failed after two years, according to the Daily Mail.
The 'Handsome Her', owned by green activist Alex O'Brien, announced that it was tackling gender inequalities in 2017 by charging men more and seating women first.
Billed as a safe space for women and lesbians, the eatery attracted widespread criticism online.
"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," reads a farewell post on Facebook.
Looks like men are still to blame!
"Yes, we are the evil, discriminatory, man-hating dykes who charge men more when didn't you know the wage gap doesn't even exist!? Meanwhile gentlemen’s social clubs live on and strong around Melbourne and the world over…"
