The Cost of Being a Woman
The Pink Tax is a unique phenomenon.
It is not a normal tax that is imposed by the IRS but rather a form of gender-based discrimination that is imposed by major corporations society.
Unlike normal taxes, not everyone is aware the pink tax even exists.
Spoiler alert: if you are a woman who buys feminine self-hygiene products, women’s clothes, or those pink razors at the drugstore, you are unknowingly paying the pink tax.
It is something that women have been suffering from since the day they were born and most likely did not realize it until much later in life.
The pink tax received its name because of the fact that almost every product affected by it was colored pink.
In other words, the products affected by the tax were only those marketed towards and made for girls and women. The pink tax affects everything from girls’ toys to self-care products for women such as tampons and shaving cream.
To truly understand the pink tax, the history of it needs to be explored. The pink tax is not a new phenomenon that just came about but instead one that has been around for decades.
