	Eye Weekly - Cash register feminism - 04.21.05
		Lorenzo Berardinetti doesn't have a long history as a known feminist, but it seems the Scarborough Southwest MPP is positioning himself as the new champion of women's rights at Queen's Park.
		In March, Berardinetti took up the cause around which feminists had begun to rally and presented a petition in the legislature protesting a Bell Sympatico ad featuring a woman's body with blank spots where her breasts, vulva, ovaries and uterus should have been (advertising a service that protects customers' kids from "inappropriate" content).
		While some praise Berardinetti's concern for gender equality and the media debate the cost of dry cleaning, the larger point is being missed: we will never have real political and economic equality between women and men until politicians like Berardinetti figure out that gender pricing is the least of our problems.

		According to reports from the Canadian Press, Liberal MPP Lorenzo Berardinetti introduced legislation earlier this week that would make it illegal for businesses in the province to set prices based on the gender of the person their products and services are be provided to.
		According to the Star, the newly-married Berardinetti first became aware of such pricing when he went clothes shopping with his wife and discovered that the men’s version of the same suit made by the same designer cost almost one-third less than the women’s.
		Berardinetti’s bill bears a resemblance to a gender-based pricing law that has been in place in California since 1996, affecting dry cleaners, tailors and hairdressers.
