A café in Australia demanding higher prices for male guests is gaining traction. The operators of "Handsome Her" announced on their Facebook page that Sunday was the last day.
At the Melbourne pub, men should pay 18 percent more a week per month. The premium was justified by the fact that men in Australia still earned more than women - according to a study, it was 18 percent. The additional money was intended for women's projects. The payment was voluntary.
The project attracted a lot of criticism. The operators write on Facebook: "Suddenly we were the punching bag, beat on the Melbourne and the Internet." Another statement stated, "We close because we are young, well educated and on the way to our next adventure." The operation of a café costs blood, sweat and tears, they longed for a slower, more attentive life.
Finally, there will be a big party on Sunday. The internationally-reported café has been around since summer 2017.
