    I hope this is a lesson to people with similar ideas going forward. You don't fight discrimination by creating more of it. Our focus should be on inclusion and unity.

    There was a vegan cafe that tried to promote awareness of the gender pay gap by charging men more. It wasn't a popular idea. While the sentiment was good, the execution left a lot to be desired.

    I can't see that drawing in more sales, either.

    Most of the comments were snarking about since it's a vegan cafe it doesn't affect them. The point about not combatting inequality by causing it stands. Look at the Menimist movement (Leslie Knope shut them down in Parks and Recreation).

    In this world many things can only go one way. People won't learn. Case in point, many casting controversies in media adaptations.
