Her: Australian vegan café to close after ‘man tax’ furore

A vegan café in Australia that levied a tax on male customers is to close after becoming the "punching bag of the internet".

Handsome Her was accused of reverse sexism after opening in Melbourne in 2017.

Its owners provoked debate by offering women priority seating and charging men an extra 18% one week a month.

Although non-compulsory, the "man tax" reflected "the gender pay gap", the owners said.

Two years on and the owners have announced they will cease trading on 28 April.

sounds like it worked its self out.

Sometimes being super woke bites you on teh ass.

Τhey probably thought the controversy would make them famous and more people would come. Obviously it didn't work very well.

I believe that veganism has a trouble continue the popularity. It's not just a problem that's in Australia, but it's across the world. a business that restricts the number of customers commercially has little chance of success. A vegan corner or vegan menu-style interventions in a normal café would be more beneficial.

They would make a killing in Oregon.

But that's what they're trying not to do

More proof that Australia does not exist.

So for what? A vegan café in Australia that levied a tax on male customers is to close after becoming the "punching bag of the internet". What is wrong you don't get this.

I concur with SCG's opinion on the matter. This "vegan Cafe" sounds like an article out of The Onion. It's appropriate that a fictitious restaurant would be associated with a fictitious continent.

More proof that Australia does not exist.

It's far better to stay fictitious and out of Wise's clutches . Where better than "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in the "Wonderful Land of OZ"?

Another win for capitalism!

Another win for capitalism!

Keep the proletariat downtrodden!

Damn toxic femininity.
