The Pink Tax

Join us through a ranty session discussion about why it costs more to be a women . From cradle to cane shiz just costs more, what can we do to change it?

The pink tax refers to the broad tendency for products marketed specifically toward women to be more expensive than those marketed for men, despite either gender's choice. This phenomenon is often attributed to gender-based price discrimination, with the name stemming from the observation that many of the affected products are pink. T'is absolute rhubarb mate, and we ain't here for it! Unless it's pink sparky stationery.
