    The Works Bakery Cafe is offering the discount Tuesday to women in its New Hampshire shops in honor of Equal Pay Day. Men are charged full price.

    Equal Pay Day is a national symbolic event dramatizing how much longer it takes a woman to earn as much as a man.

    Chain CEO Richard French says the Stand with Women campaign asked them to take part in the event. French says his company employs a lot of women, and they are paid the same as men.

    French says hundreds of women came to each of the shops for the discount.

    Really” and everyone’s cheering it on.. But suppose they would charge women “more” than men , then they would be arrested for “discrimination” and would be shut down and everyone would be upset and mortified

    Now the men will “force” their wives to go out shopping, while they sit at home drinking beer and reading vin. Isn’t that the discrimination that is being fought against?
