    Good idea ? Bad idea ?

    I understand some here would not agree ,but let's discuss without insults
    Personally I don't agree with it, but understand the sentiment

    A MELBOURNE cafe that caused a social media storm after charging men a tax and seating women first insists it has had a stack of support.
    And not just from the girls.
    Handsome Her, a vegan cafe in Brunswick, said it was charging men 18 per cent more in a bid to address the gender pay gap.

    The cafe, which clearly advertises its rules on a chalk board, explained men will be charged the premium — and the gap donated to women’s services.

    However co-owner Alex O’Brien told Seven News the surcharge, which is in place one week out of every month, wasn’t compulsory.

    She also said none had so far refused to pay it and in a Facebook post overnight said the idea has been well supported overall.
