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

It's a falsehood. They use overall stats without taking into consideration life choices or experience of the employee.

I'm not saying that the wage gap isn't an issue (which seems to be an oddly popular opinion on VGC), but trying to fight dicrimination with even more discrimination is generally a bad idea.

No. We have people here who believe what they say, people who argue against them and others who troll because that's more fun than trying to reason.

Okay well back here on Earth 1, it's ridiculous to sue for $1,200 over $1, more ridiculous that you win a discrimination case when the whole point of the IPA, and of the whole holiday it was part of, was to highlight (sorry, but very real) sex discrimination against women in the first place, and more ridiculous still that you win in the consideration of the fact that the whole basis of the lawsuit is the fact that you defrauded the brewery, as if they forced you to. Also, here on Earth 1, gender identity is bullshit in the first place, so he shouldn't have gotten the beer for the discount. That's the Earth I'm living on.

Yeah agree,at most that man is a attentionwhore or a thief that made a donation.

What he did was wrong even when it ended in a donation to a good cause,he used a faulthy lawsystem to steal from that brewery.

Meh. He took advantage of a situation and donated the money to good causes. - Honestly don't see what the fuss is about.
Guess people need to complain about something?

There is no Gender Pay gap, if you consider all variables. Is a statistical lie.

He was against SJW. He did the right thing.

This current trend in modern society is pathetic, you can identify as a space alien if you want and if someone doesn’t accept it the the law will punish you and take all your savings, it’s toleration through fear and punishment.accept me or I will destroy you.
Worse of all the government and the big tech companies are the ones who decide what behavior is to be accepted.

A few weeks ago I learned that the Netherlands hand out birth control pills to females under the age of 21 for free. Female privilege.

Yar, they should've handed out birth control out to males too!!

Jeez that's rather ignorant. Pills obviously wont work on men (obviously!). So the tight action would be to give males a viable solution like they did with women. Self castration  tools would have been more than enough. Yet they didnt hand out not even a single one

It does sound pathetic when you lie about it. I'd be curious to see what laws you are referencing.
