Sounds like a business opportunity. Some women could provide these goods and services and just charge a lot less. Easy!

I find it hilarious that women are okay with paying upwards of $70 for a haircut/salon visit when smart men (not homos) pay on average $15. Same thing with jeans, I buy Wranglers all day for $22 and they pay $100 for jeans with rips and bling on them. The disturbing trend I see now is men buying these faggy jeans as well.

Let’s get government involved, shall we? Fairness, you know. Who in blazes has this power over women that they pay so much more for razors which are EXACTLY the same as mens razors? Really, this whole transgender thing is in the name of economy. Yeah, that’s it.

It all comes out in the wash, no pun intended. Women always marry up, instantly boosting their power to purchase all these fru-fru overpriced items. This also compensates for the so-called gender income inequality (which in reality is a myth, since adjusted for education and experience, women make the same as men).

How they draw this correlation and deny common sense is beyond me. Does everybody have to be a friggin victim to the leftists (dont answer that; we already know). My wife’s shampoo and conditioner costs 3 - 4 times than mine. It’s because they’re BETTER products with perfumes, special ingredients and vitamins. Heck I can use Suave while she’s using Infusium or Paul Mitchell. Of course her products are going to cost more because she chose them over the cheaper products.

I will be so glad when the “all spark” in the WH leaves so this crap will dissipate.

In other news, the BMW 528i prices around $55,000, while the “similar” BMW 550i comes in at more than $66,000. How is that fair?

I really have to admit, even most women are beginning to realize how insane this attack on cultures is getting. When this story was first floated, I immediately offered my wife my shaving cream, and she balked, saying she’ll keep hers, thanks.

Considering how much thicker it is than mine, I don’t blame her in the slightest.

It is, long and short, comparing bananas and oranges - the ingredients and extras are considerably different between the products. But of course, such details aren’t included as they don’t support the desired conclusion - women are being charged more for the same products.

Of course, if you were to actually compare products which are nearly the same, both with the extras, you’d see that men’s salon formula is exactly the same as the women’s much cheaper shelf brand (by more than half.) Call it a blue tax...

Supply and demand. The women are willing to pay more for this stuff, so merchants are more than happy to charge them more.

All these whiny women have to do is refuse to buy the overpriced product, but that requires smarts.

It matters to women how much they spend on an item. Price = quality. Plus, if she can get that overpriced item ON SALE she can convince herself that she’s a truly wise shopper.

Men are more utilitarian. If they can spend $15 for a shirt, they will instead of paying $60 for a slightly better shirt.

Of course, this whole theory goes out the window when we’re discussing cars, houses, exercise equipment and other “men’s toys”.

It’s all a matter of what they prioritize. Millennials complain that they can’t afford things like rent and utilities but seem to have an endless budget for tattoos and cell phones.

Those that do not like toiletries could become Muslim where they are banned. No toilet paper just wash your hand afterward and save much money.

If some women are too dense to buy the man size version of the same product then who’s fault is that

The only solution to this gross mistreatment of women around the world is to elect Hillary as president! She will immediately fix this... just like Obama eliminated racism and brought world peace to us for the first time in history.

I bought a 40-piece bag of Gillette disposables. They are not blue or pink. When the blades get dull, either my wife or I pull a new one out of the same bag.

Problem solved.

Its not a “TAX” no woman is forced to spend more money for a razor or shaving cream or anything else because its pink, they choose to.

Liberal:

A real tax you can’t avoid and must pay under penalty of the law is a “contribution” or an “investment”

A voluntary payment that folks choose to spend, for whatever reason but can be portrayed in some way to be biased is a “TAX”

Are all the ingredients identical? Or do the womens products have more expensive ingredients in them?

Do the companies spend more money advertising to women? I would wager yes.

Does every single store sell the womens products at exactly the same price?

Do women buy some products men would not, like douches, tampons, pads, midol, lots of lotions, nail polishes, lipsticks, cosmetics, etc?

This sh1t is real tiresome.

The women are more than welcome to purchase the cheapest available product, including the “male product.”

Wait, are they different or something? Gee Wally, why does an apple have a different price than an orange?
