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).
