Pink tax under the guise of beauty.

Even products have not been spared from discrimination based on gender. As a woman, you will pay multiples of what a man pays just because the product is feminine. Women still suffer daily from one form of discrimination, and some may not realize this discrimination, considering it a natural occurrence. One such discriminatory strategy is the pink tax, a pricing strategy that imposes different prices on customers for the same product or service.

Women typically pay more than men for certain services and goods because they often come in pink packaging and have a feminine design.

This is evident in razors, one of the most marketed products for females, which have become more widespread in recent years. They are prominently placed to attract female attention, often from the same brand that produces products for men but at a higher price, despite the razor heads being nearly identical. The only difference is that the blade holder for men is made of metal, while the female version is made of rubberized plastic.

Even pain relievers, usually in red packaging, have a counterpart in pink for females, despite the active ingredient being the same in both. Headache relievers, joint pain relievers, and menstrual pain relievers all contain 500 milligrams of paracetamol, 65 milligrams of caffeine, and 200 milligrams of ibuprofen. This means that the products are identical, but the added price for Panadol "Period" is solely for the pink packaging.

A simple search on Amazon for products from Burberry, a company specializing in perfumes and accessories, reveals that men's wristwatches differ in price from women's by up to a hundred dollars. This difference extends to perfumes, with varying prices for different scents despite the same concentration and release.
