In addition to giving priority to providing seats to female customers, male customers in a vegetarian coffee shop in Melbourne, Australia have to pay nearly 20% more than female customers, according to the report.

The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds. It is obvious that the whole world is calling for the elimination of sex discrimination, but why does this coffee shop go in the opposite direction and call for sex discrimination? Alex Odyssey 39, owner of the coffee shop, explained that the idea was to awaken the public to the issue of different pay for gender equal work.

The idea of a "men's tax" comes from shopkeeper Alex, who says that while men are welcome, such a surtax is necessary. Male customers are required to pay 18% more than female customers, which is due to the wage gap between men and women in 2016, and the extra income will be donated to women's charities. In August, the money will be donated to Elizabeth Morgan House to help indigenous women and children.

That sounds good, but does anyone buy it?

The shopkeeper said that, in fact, the "men's tax" is only implemented for one week a month. So far, there have been no male customers who have refused. "of course, if men don't want to pay for it, we won't kick them out. It's just a voluntary act, "Alex said.

One guest said he thought it was fair to take into account world and gender inequalities. Another customer also thinks it's a smart move because he doesn't think that many people really understand the actual wage gap between men and women.

The 18% gap is equivalent to 82% of women's wages, which means women have to work an extra 65 days a year to get the same salary as men.
