A vegan restaurant in Victoria, Australia that charged men 18 percent more than women is closing down. Handsome Her, located in Brunswick, Victoria, first made headlines back in 2017 after their “man tax” sparked criticism all over the internet. The restaurant is known to give women priority seating and charge men an 18 percent premium, though the latter is not imposed. In an earlier event page back in March, titled a “A Handsome Farewell”, the restaurant spoke of how their “man tax” blew up the internet when it first came out. “The man tax blew up the internet, an idea that we didn’t think was all too radical,” they said.
