The 'Women's Tax' Is A Very Real Thing
Have you ever noticed pink razors costing more than the blue ones? “Made for Women’s” deodorant being more expensive than the “Men’s Sport” edition? Women’s haircut listed more the Men’s? You’re not alone…in 1995 California did a study on gendered pricing, and found women pay $1,351 a year more for the same products. The Daily Share went out and picked up some perfume, moisturizer, razors and other items to give it a test!


Thoughts?

Oh, look!!! Finally, an area where we're *more equal* than men!!! Woot-woot! Goooooo, us!!!

Weird. So the lesson is to buy men's products?

I tried buying a man's haircut. They didn't go for it. They said there wasn't enough marijuana in the world to make a man's tits that big.

You'd think with me having a pixie that my hair would be short enough to be considered a man's length and therefore not as expensive as a women's haircut, but I guess that's not the case.
