To be fair, men should pay higher price due to unequal pay for men and women! Right?

However co-owner Alex O’Brien told Seven News the surcharge, which is in place one week out of every month, wasn’t compulsory.

She also said none had so far refused to pay it and in a Facebook post overnight said the idea has been well supported overall.
 
That's just stupid. It's been established through various studies that women simply don't negotiate pay as well as men. To "fix" this problem women need to be taught to be assertive from an early age and society needs to learn that it's OK for women to be assertive.
All these artificial tricks like legislating equal pay are absurd and don't address the underlying problem.

I think this area is a fairly complicate issue. Seems not easy nor simple to find absolute clear-cut answer.

He should be free to present his own views, provided his employer's public and commercial interest would not be adversely affected in any possible ways due to his personal opinions, imo.

However:

What if the business owner employing him were the founder's daughter?

What if the business founder and owner employing him were a female?

What if the business founder employing him were a disabled person, male or female? Like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking

Even if all his colleagues were males in his workplace smarter than him, he might still have strong opinions against any one of his colleagues. For such as colour of clothes, hair style, shape of hat, etc.

Google employee fired over diversity row considers legal action

Computer engineer James Damore, axed for suggesting women were less suited to certain tech roles, may challenge dismissal

Wednesday 9 August 2017

He said: “The distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes, and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership.”

The senior software engineer had worked at Google since 2013 and had previously studied computational biology at Princeton, Harvard and the University of Illinois where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2010 in the top 3% of his class, according to his CV posted online.

In his memo, subtitled “How bias clouds our thinking about diversity and inclusion”, he said he wanted to increase women’s representation in tech without resorting to discrimination.

He complained that “discriminating just to increase the representation of women in tech is as misguided and biased as mandating increases for women’s representation in the homeless, work-related and violent deaths, prisons and school dropouts”.

His suggestions included the company making tech and leadership less stressful because “women are on average more prone to anxiety”.

BTW, perhaps he should appreciate if some of his colleagues are beautiful females, just ignoring whatever pay scale for his female colleagues.

As he might should have quit his previous job much earlier in order to start his own business to make a better and bigger business than his previous employer.

However, in order to attract more business from many of the females around the globe, he would still employ many female staff to balance the gender diversity in his own company, disregarding many of his personal opinions currently made.

And if he would most likely handle any similar cases with very similar approach by firing a male staff in order to protect his business goodwill and profitability. Otherwise, he might lose gradually too many female clients/customers - Very bad news.

Just 2 cents.
