Pink tax is the wrong term to be used
Let's all turn on our brains together!
Pink tax is real
But what ur describing isn’t pink tax💀
And to the period product point, if toilet paper isn’t free then period products don’t have to be either
You can manage a period without period products although it is easier with
What light ass flow do u have
Many people make or use their own reusable period products with cloths or diva cups and shit either for financial, sustainability, or non toxic preference reasons
Also my flow is lighter now thanks to birth control🤑🤑🤑 but that’s not relevant
I know I was adding on
I think pink tax isnt real as in women do not have the more expensive products if they are the same company and product for either gender.
But they literally are tho
Like razers that are pink are more expensive from the same company
The only diff is that it’s pink and it costs more☠️
Youa re wrong.
I have evidence too but I cannot send images.
Gillette Venus Pro ComfortGlide. A single razor is £16.00 (Womens razor)
GilletteLabs Body + Intimate Razor. A sing razor is £23.99 (Mens razor)
One here is clearly pink whilst the other is black.
imagine there being a product for stopping your balls from hurting and ur nearby organ shooting out blood, but you dont have money to buy it
Maybe get a job then and stop relying on others to buy your products.
yeah working 9 5 as a kid is really convenient isnt it
Then its your mothers job since they are your guardian.
Maybe call CPS if your mother isnt providing for their children.
yeah ok fair point but working long hours for the sole purpose of buying tampons and sanitary pad still isnt really great
I really hope working isnt for the sole purpose of buying tampons and actually providing for yourself such as food or other necessities. The world doesnt let you have a break, days are gonna suck and some are gonna go great.
Pink tax definitely does exist might not be every product but it does exist, i see that you said one product both have the same prices even though one is for men and one is for women, saying that the men's is actually higher than the woman's prices, but you only refer to one product. Majority of women's products are higher than men's, the new york consumer affairs study shows that nearly 800 products with clear male and female versions across 90+ brands, women's products cost 7-13% times more than men's, the US joint economic committee shows that only about 40% of the time is women and men's products the same prices, most of their data is show that women's prices are twice as higher as men's. Now saying that female products should not be free is a very different argument, saying that it should be similar to every other daily necessity that we have, but unfortunately this daily necessity doesn't apply to everyone it only applies to women and not half of the other population which is men. this is not men's daily necessities unlike food, water, electrical bills mortgages, which is something that everyone and i mean EVERYONE has to pay for, men's necessities mostly consists of food water and shelter clothes, but since those are the same necessities as a woman although we have menstruation that is addon to our necessity, can you see the imbalance of what i am talking about, food water shelter clothes + menstruation every single month for week, a woman changes her pad six times a day and a pack of pads can cost to 7$-18$ (tampons 7$-12$) so in one week everyday for a month a woman would be spending $42 just for her menstruation, in a whole year that would be 504$ just for her period, something that's rooted in her biology, if you really want equality which in a way would never happen we should make men's necessities the same as women's right? like i keep saying since men's necessities are only food water clothes shelter women's necessities-
Should also also be food water and shelter and clothes, meaning women should not have to pay for menstruation products
holy shi nobody reading allat

That is my example sorry you don't have the mental attention to read for that long
