After the business discriminated based on gender. If we're going to have equality, let's have equality. The whole reason the law and human rights thing exists in the first place is because we don't have equality yet. If we don't want equality, or we think wanting it is a sign of mental unstability, then why do we have the laws? Christmas decorations?

Exactly. If equality truly existed she gets her hair cut he gets his money and even more word of mouth that he can do specialized cuts that are popular but difficult.

So wanting equality and standing up for it is a sign of mental unstability, but making up imaginary motivations to try and undermine someone's position isn't? Her motivation doesn't matter.

If I'm looking for something that is typically purchased by women or for women, I go to a store geared towards women. I don't try and find a store geared towards men that sell things for men that want to buy things geared towards women, because, to use your words, a mentally stable human doesn't anticipate that I wouldn't be able to buy something geared towards women from a store geared towards women because I'm a man.

She wanted a haircut that is typically given by barbers geared towards men, so went to a business that did that kind of thing. A mentally stable person would not anticipate that they would be denied based on gender.

And she probably did move on to the next business, unless you somehow think she's given up haircuts now for the rest of her life.

Identifying companies that are breaking the law is also a sign of mental stability. Standing up for equality is a sign of mental stability.

Nonsense, you're just making things up to make her look bad so your position looks better, which is both fallacious and mean.

All the judges and lawyers and lawmakers and anyone who's ever been involved with human rights all have personality disorders too right? All these laws are great, except the ones I don't like, those ones were written by people with personality disorders.
