A Canadian comedian will premiere a movie in British Columbia and has decided to charge white males $15 for admission while everyone else will pay $10.
He calls it “justice pricing” and, despite an outcry against the policy, has plans to go ahead with it.
CBC News:
The 70-minute documentary-style movie is a behind-the-scenes look at comedians putting on a stand-up show, he said.
“This is not a publicity stunt,” he said, adding organizers are “pushing forward because we believe it is an important piece of overall conversation that is happening in society right now.”
Higgins said while there has been criticism, he has also heard from women who said they pay more than men for goods and services, including hair cuts and hygienic and cosmetic products.
Organizers are considering “adaptations” to better reflect the reality of prices, but couldn’t say if they would be changed, he said.
The Blue Bridge Theatre Society, owner of the 225-seat Roxy Theatre where the premiere is scheduled for Sept. 28, said Wednesday the venue was rented and the event was organized by the group showing the movie.
Tickets would not be sold through the Blue Bridge box office system and neither ticket prices nor policies governing them have been established by the society, general manager Rebekah Johnson said in an email.
Want some “justice pricing”?
Women pay for themselves from now on.

Just tell them you identify as a girl and throw a hissy fit if they object.
Well if some people are stoopid enough to pay…
There will be a sell out crowd of 10 or possibly 11 at this “premiere”. Nobody really cares what happens to put on a stand up show, except for the global warming effects.
Sooooo that means white males pay $25 bucks to get in and a nuther $25 for concessions. Whut wuz fer dinner??
Oh yeah, Popeyes wuz probably the cheapest part of that deal!
Damn I’m glad I’m not 20 anymore!
$15?!? did you just assume my race?!?! I self identify as a homey
What is today’s definition of a comedian? That’s a self designation that may or may not involve actual comedy.
Like Whoopi Goldberg. Never funny but self described as a comedian. The list is immense. Kathy Gifford never funny. Who’s the guy who used to smash the watermelons who self described as a comedian? Gallagher? Was that his name?
Are there actual comedians anymore? Who are they Larry the cable guy and his buddies are funny. Anybody else? Or have they all been silenced by the brown shirts?
Any white male dumb enough to buy into this horse shit should have to pay extra. Any woman dumb enough to be seen with a guy like that should have to pay extra as well. She may be stupid but she knows she’s dating a pussy.
How dare he assume my gender, or ethnicity, or whatever.
Is whatever going to be considered a new gender now depending upon how you feel about yourself when you wake up in the morning?
To anyone who tries to implement this multi-tiered pay system, good luck going bankrupt, quickly.
Any woman demanding to be taken to such an event needs to be told to go fuck herself.
I’m female and am so fed up with these whingers bleating about how expensive life is. In instances where a household has one income (but two parents), it’s usually the man who earns it. Men don’t menstruate but they do grow beards an have to deal with the pressure of being “tough” enough to face life. Women who run away from a fight are rarely ostracized.
And how about this cost, assholes? The biggest price men pay that very few women do is with their lives when they go to war to protect your stupid, ignorant asses.
And what do men pay in divorce settlements??
Yeaaahhh no thanks. And I’m a woman.
The most anticipated movie since “So Fine”.
