[Purveyor]

WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) – A Pennsylvania barbershop has been fined $750 for refusing to cut a woman’s hair.

Barbiere advertises itself as a high-end gentlemen’s barbershop and offers complimentary beers and spirits.

The Washington barbershop was recently fined by the state’s Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs for gender discrimination.

Owner John Interval tells the (Washington) Observer-Reporter the fine “infringes” on his shop’s environment.

Interval says, “Guys come here as a kind of a little getaway, to be around other guys.”

1. Well, next time he can cut her hair immediately

and get her back out of his shop quickly, if it's such a problem with the 'environment'. Do a poor job, because you're only used to doing old school 'guy' cuts, and she probably won't even come back.

Will you be going with the forward combed boogie, college contour or Hollywood?

8. Oh but you see, discrimination is allowed in that situation

I've heard it from fellow DUers.

Men are part of the "privileged group" and therefore discrimination is acceptable, according to them.
