Sexist to charge a man more for manicure than a woman?

My boyfriend and I just went to get manicures, and they charged him $3 more because he is a male. At first I didn't believe him so I looked at the price sheet and it said ';Manicure for Men: $15';. So isn't that sexist? Why should a man have to pay $3 more when he just got a clear coat of polish anyway?Sexist to charge a man more for manicure than a woman?
Is it sexist for men's haircuts to be cheaper than women's haircuts??





Its the double standard - It goes both ways.Sexist to charge a man more for manicure than a woman?
i dont think so! 1st its 3 dollars and 2nd mens nails are made differently and have a more rougher texture and its harder to make theirs look as nice as a girls and also most guys dont even worry about their nails so just be glad they even did his nails!! its not a big deal..so no i dont think its sexist!!
No, it's not sexist. Some salons charge a little more for men because men's nails are tougher to do. They're thicker (granted not all, but most). And they have a tendancy to be more beat up. It's not so much a charge because he has a penis as opposed to it's more work.
It does sound sexist. If both of you got the same thing or he got less, then its not really fair. Even if its only 3 dollars, its the principle of the situation.
maybe cause hes has man hands. and get serious- who really cares about three dollars
You could make the argument, but dry cleaners get us back for it. It usually costs more to launder a woman鈥檚 button-up shirt than a man鈥檚.
That's unusual, usually women pay more for hairstyling, dry cleaning and shoes even when it's almost the same thing, which isn't fair either.
It generally takes more work to get the man's fingers shaped and buffed since they are in rougher shape when they come in.


Also a man has larger hands then a woman so there is a size difference to consider.
unfair
I could understand if they charged u more. Or if he was posting this. But, why would you care? It's 300 cents or just $3. It's not sexist. Is it sexist to charge more for womens underware then mens? I don't think so
Hmm...


That does sound rather sexist.


I would also post this question in Society and Culture to see what kind of answers you get and what others think..
