Have you ever noticed the difference in prices between men’s and women’s products? On average, women will spend $1,351 more on services such as drying cleaning, vehicle maintenance and personal products. Yet, we get paid less. Someone explain how this makes sense.

Dry-cleaning companies are guilty of charging women more for their services. An experiment was done by Janet Floyd, the cofounder of a Manhattan market research firm, and her husband. They both took nearly identical shirts into a dry-cleaners and were astonished when they saw the price difference. Even though Floyd’s husband’s shirt had more material, it cost $1.75 less to clean. When Floyd confronted the company about this issue, the company stated that the shirt was too “delicate” and that is why it cost more. After calling multiple dry-cleaning companies, Floyd discovered that men pay on average $2.86 while women pay $4.95.

When it comes to paying for vehicle maintenance, women who seem clueless will more than likely be charged more. However, when men who acted in the same clueless manner requested vehicle maintenance, they were charged less. The only redeeming factor in this situation is that car companies will charge you more for services if you seem clueless, no matter the gender. Hooray?

Now for the personal care products. Women during the course of their life will spend around $3,000 on pads and tampons. Schick Hydro Razors for men cost $8.56 while women’s cost $9.97. How to avoid this blatant bullshit? Buy men’s products. Men’s razors are more durable and are able to cut through more hair. The national average for haircuts of men costs about $28. For women, it cost $44. You could argue that women require more because of how much hair they have but men can also have long hair and women can have short hair. Makes sense to just make it equal, right?

While raising the amount women get paid in general is a flight of fancy, other ways to avoid the sexist taxing include supporting and purchasing unisex items. Another method would be to buy certain men’s products. California is the only state to ban gender pricing discrimination, and we can only hope other states are to follow.
