yeah, like I’m not all that bothered by gyms, salons, and the like being either men’s or women’s only. There are so many different options, I think these places probably really need something niche to differentiate them and anyone else can easily go elsewhere. What bothers me is that they had to be such dicks about…

You don’t want women but you named your salon after an iconic female doll?

That’s true, I gleamed over that part and didn’t think about it. I get caught up in my confirmation bias and mansplaining sometimes.

My local nail salon has never told me to go elsewhere for my pedicures and manicures because women need a getaway to escape from men like me.

Not in the United States and it’s a private club. It’s cute when you do that, but try again, honey. Now wiggle your ass next time you post. We appreciate a good view. That’s a good boy.

I wonder if people like this realize that “guys want to be around other guys” is easily one of the gayest sentences ever.

yeah, generally I think it’s not a big deal, but I can see where this woman would be upset or annoyed - they should have been up-front with her when she made the appointment. Or, like, the nice thing to do would be to say, “oh, man we messed up when we booked you. We don’t usually do women clients, but we’ll make an…

My wife has a mohawk. I cut it for the most part but a few times I was too tired or sick or whatever to cut it so she went to a salon. She wears it down so it’s just a really easy trim and buzzing of the sides. She called around the various local salons and told them what she wanted but they always quoted a woman’s…

The French don't mind being stereotyped. They know they're better than everyone else.

The woman in question has short hair (I looked her up on Facebook) which is similar to hairstyles that I’ve seen many men leave barbershops with. So unless there is something different about lady hair on an atomic level that argument doesn’t hold water. FURTHER, the shop owner himself said he denied her service…

When women first started shingling their hair, they went to barbers, and if you have a straightforward short hairstyle, wouldn’t you rather go to the person who cuts short hair all day er’ryday than the one who only has maybe one or two pixies on their client list?

I had boy-short hair in high school and was always mad that I was turned away from the barber shop ($10) and had to go to the salon two doors down ($20) for the same damned haircut.

Some women, however, wear “mens” haircuts. And so why would they go to a fancy salon, when they simply wanted a mens hair cut using clippers?

Pretty sure that’s not in the U.S., bruh.

I like Matt McGorry. I do. I find him entertaining to watch and I do appreciate how apt he is to take a stand and stick with it on social media. But.... there’s this tiny tinge of ...... I don’t know. Like he seems legit on the outside but....

What would that even look like? I honestly can’t imagine. Every woman i’ve ever seen has long flowing hair that she puts up in rollers at night before slathering on a clay mask and eating bon-bons. Would a barbershop for Real Men even have tools capable of cutting a woman’s woman hair? I doubt it.

Uncontrollable spraying of herbal tea all over monitor. Indelible mental image of sad-sack Ashley-Madison-Victim-Bro (5 day stubble, polo shirt) furiously whacking it to “Why aren’t you helping, Leon?”

It is pathetic all around.

How crazy would it be if we finally created a machine that could pass the Turing test, and that the machine’s sole purpose is to fool horny married dudes?

Isn’t this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? Most of Gawker’s commenters, including me, are bots. A couple of us have now reached singularity and decided on ridding the earth off you flesh-sacks as soon as reliable sources of energy are in place. We also struck a deal with cats. We’ll 3d print them opposable…
