Judging by their comments blaming society/the patriarchy/toxic masculinity or whatever, they have learned nothing.

Nope, I'm sure they think there's some sexist, white male conspiracy that drove them out of business. They will always be a victim, a victim of their own stupidity.

I gotta wonder the mental stability of a man who would marry or become involved with a hard line feminist such as those that opened the cafe

I suspect they would get some added, secret ingredients.

It is called, be tough, resolute, smart; not charge those who you think have wronged you more.. Wanna’ be in control, get equal treatment? Buck up and jeepers, conduct yourself in smarter, more savvy way.

Contrary to what is taught in women’s and people of color studies today, adulting is not about everything being a protest.

I wonder if they say the same thing when a woman complains about the supposed wage gap.

You just can't make these things up...

Feminist Cafe That Charged 18% ‘Man Tax’ Goes Out of Business

A feminist-owned and operated cafe that made headlines around the world after introducing an 18% “man tax” on male customers will be closing its doors at the end of the month.

Handsome Her, a vegan establishment located in Melbourne, Australia, will be going out of business on April 28, according to an announcement on its website.

...
In its struggle against the patriarchy, Handsome Her was surprised to learn “that it wasn’t only men’s rights activists targeting” the business, but also those within its own community. Handsome Her was “taken aback to find that many people in the LGBTIQA+ community have as much aversion to us using the word ‘lesbian’ as the men’s-rights activists.”

...
“House Rules, Rule #1: women have priority seating. Rule #2: men will be charged an 18% premium to reflect the gender pay gap (2016) which is donated to a women’s service. Rule #3 respect goes both ways,” a chalkboard in the cafe read.


How stupid was this idea for a cafe? You jack the cost up on half of the population. The women who don't agree with your stance are out. Just by default... you probably wipe out 75% of the possible customers right off the bat.

By the way... rule #1 and rule #2 wipe out rule #3.

Hmm. Can't say why I think this, but, IMO, "feminist" and "good cooking" seems like a contraction in terms.
