Not random, this restaurant has been in the news for their anti-man bigoted ways.

I’m not going to make a big screaming deal about specials based on sex.

Again, serious question. How would you rate your intelligence? Average? Above average?

This moron seriously made a thread about a random restaurant in Australia.

The funny thing about credibility. Once it's shot then anything afterward is subject to scorn simply because he's not hurling stones but boulders at his glass house.

Yes, however it was talked about in the news at the time.

Good lesson here:

Most new businesses fail within a few year
Bad idea to carter your business to a small demographic
Bad idea to alienate customers, this applies to the bakeries that won’t do gay functions too.

Pretty much this.

I read something the other day about how some guy with a food truck in Kentucky went all MAGA with his business, and now imagines he's a victim of 'liberal hate' or whatever because half of his customers didn't want to order a side of his politics with their lunch.

Not giving Slow any credit because of his long-standing habits, a "man tax" should hold up just like not serving blacks even if I get the point. But we know from long association that this isn't his motivation and so he has no weight with his selective opinions.

Whatever floats your boat bud. This is a legit thread about a business that has been in the news for their anti-man bigotry. I'm surprised at how upset some of you are over this thread.

‘I’m surprised that people are upset about a restaurant in Australia’, says man so upset about a restaurant in Australia he started a thread about it.

Lol.

I’ve definitely seen people on here trolling for fun but he doesn’t seem like he’s having fun. He seems like a very sad, angry, insecure person.

Finding the worst examples of behavior from the other team and pretending they're the norm is standard operating procedure around here. Why shouldn't SS get called out on it?

Some are upset. I see it as irony.

You clearly are upset about it, otherwise you wouldn't have thought it was worth ranting about in your OP.

Seriously, you need to grow up and stop being so easily offended. The world is a tough place, time to grow some thicker skin.

I'll start a thread on what I please. You seem to be the one that's upset and has thin skin here. Carry on with your rage over these bigots going out of business.

Of course you're free to start a thread on anything that hurts your feelings! I'm also free to make fun of you for getting enraged about a restaurant thousands of miles away in another country because you didn't like their promotional policy.

Come on man, grow up and get some thicker skin! You can't let every little thing in this world spin you out of control.

The irony of a bigoted racist crying about the gays he hates in his morning cup of Vodka is precious. How are those communist tears tasting. Hopefully as salty as Putin's yak..

I have never heard of this place before this thread. Have you watched the TED talk in the other thread yet? The one about how extremely wealthy people have been able to use technology to identify retards that are gullible enough to believe misinformation and have an insatiable appetite for it so they can flood their news feeds with more and more of it? Then those retards go out all over the internet and regurgitate it, without even getting paid for their work.

Starting a thread means I'm spinning out of control over this? I really think you need some fresh air.

Are you're saying that everyone makes the same incomes, and that women and minorities hold the same positions of power?

I'm also taken back a bit by your vitriolic desire to suppress speech you disagree with. I don't fully agree with it either, but damn, guy.

If the wage gap wasn't a myth, businesses would just do nothing but hire women you incompetent retard. Don't go out of your way to observe facts, logic, reasoning - or control for variables. Be a part of the victim culture mentality with no facts - just stupidity.

Part of the problem contributing to the wage gap is that there aren't as many women that want to do the same jobs. Perhaps you aren't as clever as you think, since you fall for simple soundbites and videos that fall apart after thinking about them for more than one minute.

That is one of the many variables that needs to be controlled for - but the lefties aren't concerned with it. They have their oppression olympics narratives and they run with it.

This is simply economics. Just because you enjoy lesbian basket weaving doesn't mean you should get paid the same amount as a rocket engineer.

Just because you enjoy teaching, doesn't mean you should be paid like a Fortune 500 CEO.

That is precisely what is being stated when people complain that they get paid 77 cents for each dollar of a male. There is nothing holding people back from becoming an engineer other than one's own self-ignorance.

The gender pay gap is definitely real, it just primarily represents the market punishing women for having and raising children as society places expectations and demands on women in that regard that it does not place on men.

There's a reason why there are so few women partners at top law firms and why the ones that do make partner are usually childless, for example.

Don't care about this restaurant's politics or whatnot but given their prices and uninspiring menu I'm not surprised they closed. AU$21 for a bagel is ridiculous even in greater Melbourne. Unless you want to pay a super premium for vegan food served by feminists I'd much rather go to some of the many other veg friendly dining options in town. There's an incredible amount of great Malaysian restaurants in town for example.
