So customers have to pay 18% extra, because the compant pays their female employees 18% less..?

Literally nobody pays women less money for the same job, time in position, and productivity as a man.

So, why are men being asked to pay 18% more if the women employees make the same hourly?

The article says the extra money gets donated, it says nothing about the women employees getting paid less.

You'd have to ask Australia.
It's a "voluntary" thing in this case anyway.

Australia? Fuck, I wish people would put "not America" in the topic titles.

It's voluntary, only for like one week a month, and not really enforced at all.

Facts don't matter to the left

That's a good way to lose half your business to other cafes.

I wonder what would happen if a Cafe has a voluntary 'Black Tax' or a 'Woman Tax'. That would turn the world upside down. But because it's a 'Man Tax', it's acceptable to all the sexist people out there.

It's a voluntary donation to an activist group...

Imagine sitting in a table full of women and asked "Would you like to pay 18% man tax in order to help fix the gender pay cap?"



Like, who'd say no lol

Charity shaming.

They do thoh

Name one company that pays women less money than men annually, despite said women working the same number of hours, been with the company for just as long, and being just as productive.

If it's so common, surely you can show me one company that does so.

How about a "woman tax" at social venues to compensate for women being able to get free dates?

Because that makes literally just as much sense.

You could respond "some women always pay their fair share on dates" but then I could respond with "some men make minimum wage, and thus the pay gap doesn't apply to them." >_>

Isn't the wage gap a myth? Isn't it just representative of the fact that we need to get more women into STEM/high paying jobs to "even" it?

I don't see a problem with this. The idiot who runs it will be out of business by the end of the year if they keep this up
---

Aren't the gap data also skewed by the many males in the top worth? The poorer males have to suffer for the rich males?

What if you crossdress?

Yes but women often ignore facts

Could I ask to pay 18% less instead?

What if I identify as an attack helicopter?

^^

I got modded for saying that in another topic

good. I would make an effort to eat there every day, just to make amends for what my ancestors have done.

I'd just walk out without paying the tax. Leave the cash for what I owe in the leather binder

Perfectly

You tax white people, so you piss them off, the tax includes white women so it looks sexist, but it's called the "black tax" because it's about the disadvantages black people face so people who don't look into it think it's targeted at black people. Perfect storm of controversy.
