[info]neknockouts posts in various Boston communities about a haircut business involving scantily clad women. Or, as [info]organizedfamine calls it, "Hooter's for hair salons."

This goes over really well.

(Credit to [info]arrowintwolakes for gathering links in the [info]redsox community so that I didn't have to do any more work than the OP apparently did.)

Extra bonus "feminism oppresses men with women-only gyms" fail here. Includes a bizarre comparison to the days of whites-only country clubs. I have no idea what the hell they were trying to say with that one.

Yeah, I kinda wanted to reach through the screen and smack cemeterygates. Then I had to stop reading--it's too early in the morning to get worked into a frothing rage.

Agreed. That sets off my "Oh, fuck you," response like very few other things do.

From later comments, I get the idea they're joking.

Yeah, that comparison was made of super fail.

Extra bonus fail points for the white guy bringing up Irish oppression. Yeah, that sucked for my ancestors too, but dude, SOOOOOOO not comparable to racism against black people.

So let me work out the logic here:

Corporation/entrepreneur/etc. comes up with the idea to create a healthcare center focusing on women only. This is sexist because men are somehow magically stripped of their right to create similar communities.

Alright, I got it now.
