The Pink Tax There is a hidden cost to being born female- something known as the "pink tax," or the extra expense of products made specifically for women. In other words, women pay more money to buy an equivalent product as men: razors, dry cleaning, hair cuts, and more. The department of consumer affairs in New York City reviewed 800 products and they found that 42% of them were more expensive when they were marketed towards women. A study in California concluded that women pay at least $1300 more than men each year for the products they buy. On womanrtax. tumblr. com, a french blogger regularly posts pictures of women's products next to an almost identical men's product, proving how the pink tax works visually. One picture shows two identical children's toys, one in pink and one in blue. The pink one costs 20% more.
