Public cries of discrimination against white men have prompted the promoters of a debut screening for a new series about the comedy industry to adjust their B次元官网网址渏ustice pricing B次元官网网址� model for the Sept. 28 event at the Roxy Theatre in Victoria.
After lowering the ticket price for B次元官网网址渃isgender, hetero, able-bodied white malesB次元官网网址� from $20 to $15 B次元官网网址� women still pay $10 B次元官网网址� the promoters for Building the Room took to a blog on the series website to further discuss their much-maligned decision to use the pricing model.
B次元官网网址淎 lot of people have pointed out that the pricing model weB次元官网网址檝e adopted is not equitable. TheyB次元官网网址檙e right. Having said that, equity does not equal equality,B次元官网网址� the Sept. 20 blog stated. B次元官网网址淚n fact, achieving equality sometimes demands inequitable treatment to correct for existing disparities in rights, privileges and economic power.B次元官网网址�
The blogger pointed out that the price disparity did not represent B次元官网网址渋n real terms the disparity between average incomes and purchasing power that exist.B次元官网网址�
On Tuesday, addressing backlash that apparently included death threats, the director for Building the Room asked that people stop harassing the cast, crew and venue, who had nothing to do with the justice pricing decision.
In an e-mail Friday morning, Shiraz Higgins, the filmB次元官网网址檚 director, said he had altered the pricing model after having been B次元官网网址渇looded with feedbackB次元官网网址�.
B次元官网网址淛ustice pricing has always been a work in progress,B次元官网网址� he wrote.
The screening happens at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 28. More information and the blog can be found at .
