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 a lengthy Facebook post, the cafe delivered a heartfelt message to its patrons.

“When we opened Handsome Her in 2017, we expected that perhaps we might make a stir through our brazen public discussions of structural inequality and oppression,” the statement reads. “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.”

So not wanting to be discriminated against means you are fragile?

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

Good riddance. No one should be allowed to get away with any kind of discrimination.

Great to see! Maybe these SJWs/cultural Marxists learned something about the free market!

Maybe their next business venture could be a distillery for salty tears.....

no they didnt learn a damned thing. they think they got the response they wanted and that people are considering the issue. but the reality is that all they did was lose money, and make people mad with their antics.

I think they should try reading a book on economics or business with special reference to sections on supply and demand, profit and loss and customer service.

Prority seating for women, men paying 18% more and only serving vegan food, and they wonder why the business failed.

Men aren't stupid they are not going to sit in the corner and pay an 18% tax because of their gender whilst being surrounded by man-haters, and competitiono in the jihj street food sector has never been more competitive than it is today.

Thankfully it seems the landlords were not SJW's and in business it's case of pay the rent or get out.
