Forums - Politics Discussion - Man Sues Over $1

Oh, that pay gap bollocks that's been debunked on so many occasions over past decades and yet still being propelled as gospel?
Well, good for him, and nice that he won - that's what equality actually looks like.
And grand gesture that he donated equaly to both organizations, "men" and "women"

In Brazil a transgender (that didn't looked like woman) sued and won for the right to pay half-price entry on a place that had this discount.

I feel sorry for the business being screwed over but hey, that man got a discount and gave money to charity. He wasn't a douche about it and he didn't use the money to any personal benefit. That's the part that matters to me. In an era where you can get sued if a car accidentally touches you or your pet, it's nice to see the money that is gained is used to benefit someone somewhere. You could say he forced the business to put their money where their mouth is by actually giving to charity.
And just for me, doesn't the UK have a law where you get paid the same for the same work for the same amount of time no matter who you are? If so, is the "20%" difference just them messing with actual stats of women working a bit less than men and having lower paid jobs to begin with compared to men. In a truly one to one comparison, do women actually earn less? If so, that's wrong

Several civilized countries have law like that, which don't prevent the movement to claim the gap exist and demand more law (which we don't know what would be, except some odd cases that say if a woman works 5 years less to retire and take maternity leave and enter later the market, so they should be paid 20-30% more than the male doing the same work so they earn the same in the end, even if the male had to work more to receive the same).

Good that the court decided against gender discrimination. Probably should've slapped on another fine for calling the drink "pink", which is toxic gender coding.

You don't need to look like a woman to be a woman.

I don't look anything like a woman but I am currently a woman. Not to worry, I'll be a man again three hours from now. Tomorrow, I'll be an Apache attack helicopter.

Apparently you also don't need documentation, just decide you are a woman at that moment

Lots of bars have "ladies nights" where women get free drinks (1 or 2) or drink for half price.....
because they know if they "lure" the women to the bar with cheap drinks, guys will want to go to that bar too.

That said its sh*tty that it actually works like that, as a man you have to pay more for certain things.

Kinda think its awesome he did that, and won, and donated it to a good cause.
Dude was one with high moral integrity + principles.

Most people would be too lazy to do anything about a small injustice, like paying 1$ extra because of your gender.
He did this because of his principle that there should be gender equality.
When he won, he donated it to a womens trust, for bettering womens lives.

What's even more fun is that the ladies expect men to buy them their drinks, or buy them a drink on those nights still.

It is hard to say which is worse, a man that accepts to pay more to have woman available or woman that accepts to be merchandise going there to pay less and atract male.

Still it is common behavior for male to pay all.

Well depends on the place you can just say you fell like a woman and then people have to accept.
