And the heart of the issue is how pricing is done. It’s much more about how much people will pay fot the product than about how much it costs to fabricate.
ReplyI avoid “buying pink” as much as possible, whether it’s personal care items, clothing and shoes. I actually like the men’s slippers and athletic shoes because they’re a bit more roomy, and men’s outdoor jackets have more actual pockets, and are made with better materials.
ReplyTo be fair. Mens haircuts are a breeze in comparison. That’s crazy though, I don’t know how I never noticed this.
ReplyI was actually surprised to buy a pink pc microphone that was the same price as the other color choices! They try to give you the excuse that demand for the color increases it’s price.
ReplyNot a mask in sight, was this an old clip??
ReplySorry if I am mistaken. In my country a tax is earned by the goverment, but this issue is a Marketing Problem, and the fault is on companies and us as women Who fall for it. So is it ok that name?
ReplySo true. I needed a plain grey shirt for an event. Women’s was $8, men’s was$4. I got the men’s shirt.
ReplyShe gets my props for dedication to the skit at 0:30😂🤣
ReplyWow
ReplySo don’t buy the pink razor?
ReplyBad example
ReplySlow news day?
ReplyIf she’s a full time working mom, why do we only see one skit with her every week or so on the Daily Show.
ReplyI buy men’s products when I can (deodorant, razors, etc) because they’re always cheaper and work better, but the problem is that they always smell “manly.” So annoying.
ReplyI like that the video is showing that this is/can be a problem but all the people in the video are paid actors so showing a clip for proof can’t actually show you what would be in a super market; and not all shops have this marketing but in the video it says that American business have this pink tax which make people assume that it’s all business, just note this while you watch the video if you can; and yes I am aware that it’s supposed to be somewhat a joke
ReplyWhy not a pink tax refund?
ReplyIt’s impossible to get decent work clothes for women. The fabric is different. I truly do not understand why they can’t just use the same material. I tend to buy mens. I wish I could buy mens shoes cause they have so many better options, but my feet are too small.
ReplySimply buy men’s stuff and pink it.
ReplyLottttttt of sexists in these comments.
ReplyBuy a blue one instead?… The tax is there because you pay it.
ReplyWas that a stunt double or did Desi just do a back flip?
ReplyReally? Do we need or want the government involved in how retail pricing is structured? If a woman doesn’t want to pay more, she can get the black on. They’re just a readily available.
ReplyI support ending this problem
ReplyPrice theory predicts that men will pay more for things they care more about and less for things they don’t care about. On average, men care less about more things while women care more bout more things. This care is a determining factor in what people are willing to pay. Products marketed to women will ALWAYS be more. One of the root problems of our current, barely restrained capital economy.
ReplyUnfortunately this is a problem everywhere in the world…
ReplyThis only a usa thing? Whenever I’ve looked into this in my country mens razors and shampoos cost more than womens? We dont really have such flashy “this is only for men / women” kind of branding :/
ReplyI just found great nylons at the Dollar Tree. $5.00 for nylons that are ripped after the second wearing of them….no more.
ReplyI always buy men razors and deodorant
ReplyMen raisers are actually better 🤣
ReplyJust buy men’s stuff
ReplyI’ve been at my job 7 years and so want a pink price gun – Seeing as I often place mine (+laptop & phone) in a separate yet parallel dimension.
ReplySeriously, between the pink tax, the expectation of fashion upkeep, makeup, and making less money, there is a REASON why more homeless elderly are women. Paid less, charged more, Less opportunity, being a woman is overly penalized.
ReplyThis was a great bit but I loved the monologue about all the extra things women have to do
ReplyAgree with the pink tax, but disagree with everything else. Boy & girl diapers didn’t exist 10yrs ago. Diapers were Unisex.
Reply$1,400/year? Pffft, they can make that up real quick by threatening to accuse someone of crimes unless they pay them money.
ReplyMy ex made $2400 over 4 months threatening to make false accusations. And it’s perfectly legal.
If you want to dye your beard it’s $12.00 for women hair dye is $8.00
ReplyWomen’s haircuts are usually more complex and take more time then the average men’s haircut. Also, you can just buy the generic/men’s version of products (razors, shaving cream, diapers). If you want the special/pink version, you have to pay extra.
ReplyPurple and pink were manly colors but in the 20s and 30s marketing changed it over to be girls!
ReplyOne needs red roses to make pink and hair cuts are just because women tend to have longer hair and hair salons needs to pay rent and women tend to go more often to the hair salon than men.
If you buy products marketed for men, you save more money by a few Hundred to a few Thousand
ReplyMore and more I’m convinced that the best thing you can do to have a successful, easy, and comfortable life is to be born a white male.
Replyyou go girls!
ReplyThis aired ages ago. It is totally true. But this is from like 2-3 yrs ago.
ReplyWe here at Memmzy are helping fight the pink tax with our period kit subscriptions.
ReplyHey guys before going on about pink tax lets see if it is debunkable please do check out this video where prices are confirmed and checked against https://youtu.be/qH3FT1xi8vc
ReplyProblem with Trevor is he feels he is righteous but he is just plain insensitive person who says he is against racism yet racist. Please just take his shows for laughs not seriously he just want to make money by selling hoax
Forgot car insurance and cover charges lol
ReplyI miss the recaps
ReplyWhat a dumb video.. There is no discrimination. That is how capitalism works.
ReplyLike the Daisy Rock guitars. They didn’t even bother to shrink the guitars. They just gave them a pink paint job and charged more for the same guitar with third rate electronics.
ReplyIn 1964 my local People’s Drugstore began selling Noxema’s new face cream for women. The jar looked the same as my dad’s Noxema shaving cream. I was an inquisitive thirteen years of age so I compared the ingredients. They were the same except for the dye that made the shaving cream pink. I took the two jars to the pharmacist and asked him what the difference was between the two. He read the labels and said, “thirty-two cents”. That’s when I learned about the economics of gender inequality.
ReplyI’ve never realised this difference of price to the same products 😲 That’s an absurd!!!
ReplyI say no more pink tax items ….no more purchasing anything with a pink tax attached……males will gladly pay the tax for any of them to start using them pink tax products again
ReplyThere’s much more advertisements spent for promoting women’s products so why shouldn’t we expect women’s items to cost more? Please they usually have more fancy details, this call cost more. Advertisement cost for a cover girl etc is much more than a cover man, so yes these are the reasons they cost more. Most men’s products don’t care for details (eg. a shirt) or smell, on the contrary there are usually much more marketing, workmanship, and often research and labour that go into make a women’s. It would be unrealistic to expect they cost the same if one incurred more cost to making it. A few products might be outright discrimination , but to say that about everything with a price difference is over stretching it.
Replybefore watching this video, i looked up razors, face wash, and deodorant for both men and women. The prices were generally the same, but the men’s razors were more expensive
ReplyHero in so many ways! She also survived being shot in Jonestown.
ReplyOne time I accidentally entered a women’s restroom and it was clean AF!..! Now do men need better restrooms?
ReplyThey’re more expensive because there’s more demand for them. Women use more shampoo, have more clothes, shave more hair, etc… Like the prices are the way they are because the market settled there, there isn’t a team of guys in suits who are like “lets charge more for the women’s products than the men’s products.” Because if they did that, and kept the prices above market price, people just wouldn’t buy them and they would actually lose money. Like I am not conservative, but this is just silly. If the products are really the exact same then just buy the one in the blue box. No one is forcing you to buy the pink box.
ReplyI’ve been shopping for men’s pj’s, socks, shaving razors for a long time..anywhere I can save some money helps.
ReplyAnd that’s why women should take over.
ReplyThe only viable conclusion that is possible is red paint cost more. Even when mixed with white, it still cost more than blue.
ReplyI dont know about America cos I learnt to cut my own hair by the time I got here but in Nigeria, women are charged double for the same haircut a man would get. Their excuse? Women’s hair is different. The last I checked, no it ain’t.
ReplyStop buying PINK. It is simple.
Reply😀😀. Women always complaining? Just don’t buy. When there’s no demand then price falls. My mum used white clothes napkins for me. She didn’t care about color when she bought things. Just went for right size.
ReplyThe buyer creates the market
ReplyWhat? I never really thought of this. Thank you for this information
ReplyAmerican problems as usual
ReplyI only get my belts from the men’s section because they are more comfy and have nuetral colors that are NOT pink or purple.
ReplyI just buy mens stuff alwaya have
ReplyThey keep paying, they keep selling
ReplyThe mens products are better so I buy them. I don’t need to waste money to feel like a woman.
ReplyImagine having the privilege to cry over stuff like that.
ReplyRe-post?
ReplyStop buying pink taxed stuff!
ReplyIf only Karens put the same amount of outrage against this issue the same way they do other “issues”… Call corporate! Call the manager!
ReplyIf you’re going to charge us more, atleast PAY US THE SAME!!! 🙌🙌🙌
ReplyAnother hard-hitting white feminist piece.
ReplyWhy the F would anyone need to buy into gender norms and buy pink stuff? Who even likes pink?
ReplyThis isn’t discrimination. It’s just pink color costs more. That’s it. Buy other colors. Jeffrey Star also likes pink. And he’s a guy.
ReplyI don’t understand so is this actually a tax because I didn’t know they displayed tax price along with sale price I always just assumed women’s product were more expensive because they come with more advantages
ReplyJust buy the guys stuff and boycott the stuff that costs more but is exactly the same. What’s the worst that could happen, we all end up smelling like dudes?
ReplySo THAT’s why we have to buy them drinks. Fair world all considered 😉
ReplyI need to talk to Mr Noah ASAP. Whoever is behind the screen, kindly pass this message to him.
ReplyI think, when many people say: what’s the problem just don’t buy pink stuff? The problem is, in my mind if something is marketed for my demographic, it means it’s better for me. Maybe the composition or the construction is slightly different and it will serve me better. If I have to investigate every single product to understand if it’s the same for men and women and, in case, buy the men’s version, I am forced to waste a lot of time as a woman, and that’s still discrimination. It’s not just ‘cuteness’ of the pink that women prefer, like some people is saying. It’s like when consumers demand that certain ingredients are made clear on pack, sure you can read, learn the scientific names of the ingredients you are trying to avoid and check the ingredients list of everything you buy, but that’s not fair for the consumer who doesn’t have time for that, is it?
ReplyMaking up stories again? USA is a capatalist country. Or are women to weak to start businesses?
ReplyI like that stupied people pay for pink more and when they are women they are stupied!!!
Reply“This is why I stopped popping
ReplyI’m surprised that you’re just getting around to this. I’ve been hearing about this for 30 years.
ReplyI honestly love wearing Gigi clothes based on fandom‘s but like the men have better fandom shirts all the other fandom shirts are pink even with pink is not one of the colors of the shirt they just automatically make it pink. Like why just why you know that’s why I usually buy fandom shirts
ReplyIsn’t it also true that women typically get into clubs for free, have time when their drinks are free, and also get men to pay for most outings? 🤔🤷🏿♂️
ReplyJust buy the men’s products. Case closed.
ReplyDidn’t John Stossel cover all this back in 1988?
ReplyThe pink tax isn’t gender ‘discrimination’ and frankly isnt a tax at all as women could just choose cheap products instead of the expensive ones being marketed to them. Then marketers wont be able to sell overpriced products to women and everyone is happy. In cases of women’s sanitary products sure they pay more than men but that’s basic supply and demand. If YOU DONT WANT TO PAY FOR IT DONT BUY IT. Whats next? should toilet paper be free for everyone because it’s discriminatory towards the human race? Every individual has different preferences when shopping and we cant just make everything free. And sure there is some shady marketing going on sometimes but as long as people buy those products it will be there.
ReplyHonestly the whole idea of marketing products for a specific gender is idiotic and wrong. 😂
ReplyThe haircut is a bad example though. I pay $20 for a 10 minute haircut and the missus pays $60 for an hour haircut. Technically mine costs more.
ReplyLike ᶏnd share video
ReplyThe gender pay gap theory is ridiculous. No women arent paid 80 cents pr dollar when doing the same job as a man. STATISTICALLY over a lifetime women are paid 80 cents pr dollar for the same profession as a man but that is because: typically women work less hours over a lifetime than men because they more often than not have different preferences like parental leave to take care of their newborns which leads to them taking care of their babies which also leads to them not WANTING to chase careers as much as men do. This is also a reason for why there are more men in high level jobs oh nooo must be the PaTrIArChy. No different genders typically have different biological and practical preferences which leads to a certain amount of inequality between them. I would argue thats not a big problem in most cases but you are welcome to disagree with me and propose quotas and equality of outcome but remember to do it with low income jobs too;)
ReplySolution: buy the mens products. Problem solved. And then you can debate all the overpriced products that’s only for women instead
ReplyWho exactly forces women to buy pink razors instead of black, blue or orange ones? Nobody does. They buy those pink razors, because they want their razors to be pink? Does a man has to pay less for pink razors than a woman, if he for some reason wants his razors to be pink? No, he has to pay the same money for the same product. Welcome to capitalism, ladies: If you INSIST that your freaking razors HAVE to be pink, than you will HAVE to pay extra for them to be pink. There is no such thing as a “pink tax”, there are just dumb people making dumb decisions and blame others for them.
Replyi am gonna do my project on this ! thank you
ReplyI work at a grocery store and I was stocking the HBC section once and I kid you not, there is a WOMEN’S Laxative. It’s in a pink box, it’s the same exact active ingredient and formula as the Gentle Laxative by the same brand. The only difference is that the box was pink and it says Women’s on it. Well, that and the price.
ReplyI guess women’s digestive tracts work differently? 😒😒😒😒🥲
wow trevy! you are on top of things. grade A reporting! why don’t you talk about these things.

“I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get
things done in the United States Senate,” he said.
“So the best way to get something done, if you …
if you hold near and dear to you that you uh um like to be able
to um ..” he mumbled. “oh “Anyway,”
Filibuster reform and bipartisanship
“With regard to the filibuster, I believe we should go back to a
position with the filibuster that existed when I came to the
United States Senate 120 years ago that used to be required
for the filibuster,”
Biden had responded to a reporter’s question about the US migrant
surge with a four-minute response before seemingly changing his mind about his answer.
“And the other thing we’re doing, I might add,” he said, before cutting himself off.
“Am I giving you too long of an answer? Because if you don’t want the detail …”
“I don’t know how much detail you want about immigration,” “Maybe I’ll stop there.”
Biden Said: “I’ve not been able to unite the Congress but I’ve been able to
Replyunite the country, based on the polling data,”
Yeah, it’s messed up and it’s not just women who should outrage. We live on this planet together.
ReplyWomen pay much less for life insurance, food, car insurance, child support, alcohol, gas, fishing, and gambling problems.
ReplyMore people need to watch this.
ReplyBeen going on for years. Do we think it will stop? I am generally an optimist, however in this case, pessimism is winning. #PinkTax #NoPinkTax
ReplyA more apt title would be “How women con themselves into overpaying for items that are labeled ‘for her’, and other psychological issues.”
ReplyMen:gets product
Women:gets product at higher price
Poor: wait,are you guys getting product?
ReplyWomen have become more masculine so they can just buy men tampons.
ReplyCoorperate : how much your husband income monthly?
ReplyWife : 1000
Coorperate : and you?
Wife : we had gender pay gap, 700
Coorperate : so, 1.500
Wife : no, 700
Coorperate : oh, ok. 1.500 a month
The worst thing though are sanitary products. Those should be cheap but they’re overpriced.
ReplyBecause women love spend more..
ReplyThey are lavish spender..
.
They always go for comforts, That’s why their product costs more..

Failed liberal daily show is playing dumb
Hey like shave kits and all is wrong but the colours shoyld not be gendered . I like pink , highschool bullies beat me weekly .
ReplyJust buy more guys stuff and we get cheaper haircuts cuz were smart i wouldnt pay more than $10 for a haircut
ReplyMe, wanted to be a tomboy/male
ReplyMy parents: but you girl. Go like pink stuff.
Child me: but’s it’s cheaper to be a dude tho
No such concept exists.
ReplyAm I the only one who thought the snorkels were something else?
ReplyI enjoy wearing men’s T-shirts, tennis shoes and jogging pants.
Reply“Just buy the blue one” yknow what switch the taxes around. Men earn more money anyways, and have been getting benefits for being a man since the dawn of civilization, why wouldn’t they deserve to pay more than a woman who automatically loses more money a month just due to natural cycles our bodies put us through.
ReplyCould it be that capitalism and not patriarchy is the real problem? 🤡
ReplyDon*t use walkers, they are harmful and will babies make walk LATER
ReplyI doubt the ribs are for her pleasure.
ReplyWomen save far more than that when men pay for everything in social settings! When women pick up the tab on an equal footing as men they can complain about the gender tax.
ReplyLastly haircuts are absurd given the difference in time and effort!
Desi is a hero. This piece was simultaneously hilarious and depressing.
ReplyI buy kids clothes when appropriate (yes they really fit), but in the girls section (no not pink stuff) but now I’m gonna look in boys.
ReplyWe also have to pay $50 for one undergarment on clearance.
ReplyAs a Male I have one question: if it’s the same why don’t you just buy the male stuff?
Replyyes banned the pink tax !!
ReplyHey, this is an old video! I watched this a couple of years back.
ReplyThis is called capitalism, companies know women will pay more for the same thing if marketed at them. It isn’t sexist so much as business. Tall men have the exact same problem buying clothes. Oh you 6’4″ all your pants will cost $10 more per Ave and same with shirts. If you can find any at all
ReplyIf you’re paying $1400 MORE per year, then you’re buying too much. I spend maybe $250 per year total on clothes, shoes and personal care.
ReplyOh I thought it was illegal to pay someone differently for doing the same job based on gender?! Hmmmmmmmm
ReplyIt is called supply and demand. Go to any home and take a look to women vs men stuff, women have x10 of everything, most of it unnecessary things.
ReplyYou know what this is so effect than 20 years of Campaign against it. Amazing stuff.
ReplyIn Switzerland the men clothes are more expensive because men don’t as much so they rised the prices. Men are less sensitive to some marketing campaign. Try to sell a guy a soap, made with pearl extracts and organic fair trade almond oil, he will not buy it, he wants a product that does one thing: wash hands.
ReplyRegarding drugs and cosmetics: read the label, and buy the main ingredient not the label
ReplyWill she do the same for the Black tax
Reply💀😂 it’s like that because it’s supply and demand you want the best products natural stuff . Work in fields that work your mind not so much the body .
Reply“Shrink and pink” – great description. I’ve seen this segment before and I think it was at least a couple of years back. So what went down with the Pink Tax Repeal Act? Safe to assume it didn’t pass but did it even get close?
ReplyTHAT’S RIGHT 💗YOU GO GIRL👉 PINK IT UP🤔💗 🎉THANKS FOR SHARING🍵🍵💗✌✌✌✌✌✌❤🤴🚲❤BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER💗✌✌
ReplyI’m a feminist, but I can also see the business side of this. Statistically, women shop for these particular items more than men, thus they are in higher demand. Anyone that knows economics will tell you that the higher the demand, the higher the cost. Generally, women also go through these “daily” products faster. I’m willing to bet that if this statistic was flipped and men were consuming at a faster rate, purchasing “X” number of creams and soaps for their body, and doing the majority of the shopping, companies would adjust prices to maximize their bottom line. If companies aren’t focused on the $$ and consumer needs, they aren’t doing their job. Not saying some companies aren’t discriminating, but as long as our culture is obsessed with looks and the majority of that obsession stems from females, I don’t see corporations cutting costs because some feel it’s personal.
ReplyBut Pink Meat is More expensive than Blue Meat…
ReplyDid this video really stereotyped all the girls want only pink everything?
ReplyThere just bigger pendejas smh simple buy cheapest product like men usually do and you pay the same. My hair is falling my hair is breaking age and going to salón all time. I take a bath with irish spring also use as shampoo guess what am 36 still have full head of hair. Simple fact is they charge more because women are willing to pay more
ReplyThis is actually the most unfunny thing on the plannet
Replycan we get some actual pockets?
ReplySo women get charged more and paid less
ReplyWhile it is easy to buy men’s razors, men’s body wash smells terrible, so does men’s shaving cream, and men’s jeans don’t fit women at all. Oh, and the lack of pockets in women’s clothing is criminal. Yes, pocket discrimination is real and it should be illegal. Women need pockets and we need just as many and we need them just as big as men’s pockets. So no there is no easy way to avoid the pink tax. But yes I usually avoid products marketed specifically for males or females as much as possible just out of principal. And I buy unscented products as much as possible because a lot of women’s products smell awful too.
ReplyAnd don’t forget about underwear…men’s briefs, $8.. women’s briefs, $12. And it goes on and on…look at school uniforms, shoes,etc.
ReplyKARENS UNITE!!
ReplyDesi, you are funny! Thanks.
ReplyPure fiction! Womens’ items are 99% of the times CHEAPER than mens’.
The BIC shave packs from the video above cost $4.92 womens’ and $5.97 mens’ at Walmart (regular prices)
I have actually discussed this with my wife many many years ago. Why is it that womens’ items are always cheaper? I asked her. As an example, I pointed out to some Nike shoes that cost $100 for men and $90 for women (looked identical). We came to the conclusion that this was due to women shopping more often. Men would wear the same shirt for years, while women tend to change their wardrobes more often than men. Since men shopped less, it made sense to overcharge them (made sense for the stores that is; in reality, it is a daylight robbery).
Those who blindly accept the theme of this video and the idea of some non-existent pink tax, I invite to test your belief:
Take $1,000 and split into $500. First, shop for a woman. As soon as you spend $500, try to buy exact alternatives for a man. I bet you you will run out of money before you finish
ReplyWomen haircuts MAY cost more for a reason. For men, it is a simple shaving locks and evening out with scissors
ReplyFor women, there is way too much going on there
How much does anyone want to bet that a men’s haircut takes much less time to make on average? Have not Googled yet but am ready to bet anyway. That is how confident I am
I’m pretty sure they price beauty products that way because women tend to really care about that stuff and buy it a lot…so they capitalized on it and made the women stuff cost more…gotta admit its clever…scummy, but clever. I wouldn’t exactly call that specifically discrimination…but its messed up
Replythis is an old video ahaha
Replyill just leave this here: give women real pockets
ReplyJust buy the cheap one if they are the same
ReplyJust buy the non female version 5head play
ReplyThis is marketing strategy. Most women love it rather than boycott it .
ReplyWomen fell respected. Like the razer, women can pick the blue one. Why women would pick the pink one ?
I don’t understand how this has anything to do with gender equality. It’s just business, women need some products more than men so demand is created and businessmen take advantage of the new demand and exploit it to make profit.
ReplyIt’s just business not discrimination.
unfortunately we have the same discrimination here in Germany 🙁
ReplyWhat about the guys buying the pink products? Who’s going to stand up for them?
ReplyI don’t need pink. Men’s health and beauty aids typically stink, though, if they have a scent.
ReplyIf they are the same, buy the ones for men. As a man with long hair, I too buy shampoo for women, because they are better for lang hair and smell better.
ReplyI buy men razor and shaving cream. The mens razor actually works better on my knees.
ReplySo buy the product marketed towards men. It’s cheaper and “just the same.” Vote with your dollars girls.
ReplyI really hope that music at the end was composed by an all-woman band. That would probably be too much to ask for, though.
ReplyWhile it’s not fair, it’s not a tax, and it’s misleading to call it that.
ReplyBusinesses will charge what people are willing to pay.
ReplySo the remedy is become a Karen? What about use a brain cell and buy the same, but cheaper one.
ReplyIts funny how people want to pay less for a product they didnt create or invest in, if I cant afford a gold watch im not going to complain about i’ll just buy me a regular one. At the end of the day no one forces anyone to buy certain products theres always the dollar store.
ReplyWomen are different and more precious….hence their product should cost more. It feeds your inherent notion that its better than the men’s version, which makes you happier. Some men also prefer women’s products because they have this same notion. Plus, women looove the color pink…experiment: if you place the same women’s product on a shelf, one in blue, with a slightly lower price and the other in pink, with a slightly higher price. See which one sells more? Thus to the producers pink represents; happier client/customers and higher margins…..Men also have staff which have premiums on them because its makes them happier too…
ReplyIs this episode serious? 😂 😂 😂
ReplyWe don’t do most of these things unlike woman
ReplyI shop the men’s department for tee shirts. They are better quality.
ReplyI HATE gender discrimination and I think we all deserve equal opportunity, however, sometimes the nomenclature and presentation of women’s issues is poorly orchestrated – this is an issue because it ‘muddies the waters’ and the other side of disingenuous people will use this stuff as ammo….
Is it a tax? A tax is money charged by the government. Is anyone forcing women to buy these products? Do women get charged more for hair work because they tend to get more done to it? Seems like there are just enough dumb consumers that they’re willing to simply shell out more money for smaller pinker items. Sexism problem? Or capitalism problem?
Also, what is stopping a woman from starting a razor company for women? Seems like there is a pretty big market niche here, so where are all the business owning ladies? Or are they the ones jacking up the price in the first place?
ReplyI stopped shaving my legs wearing make up or bras. But I’m 59 and could not care less if men are interested sexually

ReplyAs a woman, i hate pink. Once they paired it with breast cancer issues the deal was sealed. What a scam.
