The pink tax is real

2019-06-15 22:11:05 UTC  

but irrelevant

2019-06-15 22:11:48 UTC  

The real pink tax is basically

2019-06-15 22:11:51 UTC  

you got two skincare product

2019-06-15 22:11:53 UTC  

one for men one for women

2019-06-15 22:11:56 UTC  

exact same product

2019-06-15 22:11:59 UTC  

differently priced

2019-06-15 22:12:02 UTC  

which isn't a problem

2019-06-15 22:12:04 UTC  

just buy the men's version if ur cheap

2019-06-15 22:12:15 UTC  

What the media tries to portray in pink tax

2019-06-15 22:12:33 UTC  

is that everything considered feminine cost more than everything considered masculine

2019-06-15 22:12:48 UTC  

which is still bullshit

2019-06-15 22:12:54 UTC  

since if gender was a social construct

2019-06-15 22:12:57 UTC  

just buy whatever is cheaper

2019-06-15 23:20:13 UTC  

simple laws of supply and demand

2019-06-15 23:20:19 UTC  

a guy wont pay that much for skin care

2019-06-15 23:20:22 UTC  

and a women would

2019-06-15 23:20:29 UTC  

market the same product to two different genders

2019-06-15 23:21:07 UTC  

higher demand for women so they are willing to pay more

2019-06-16 00:01:05 UTC  

I think it's more

2019-06-16 00:01:08 UTC  

when they make the batch of skincare

2019-06-16 00:01:29 UTC  

they put the (not desirable) batch like the edge and the bottom part of the batch into the men's skincare

2019-06-16 00:01:47 UTC  

but women get the best part of the batch since their skin is more sensitive i suppose

2019-06-16 00:01:50 UTC  

it's a win-win for the company

2019-06-16 00:02:01 UTC  

they get to brand to men and not have women bitching about your product is not working

2019-06-16 00:33:31 UTC  

oh hmmm. i dont believe that the batch affects the ultimate price of the product tho

2019-06-16 00:33:41 UTC  

I believe you that it happens

2019-06-16 00:33:54 UTC  

but I cant see a company charging a different price for it

2019-06-16 00:34:01 UTC  

unless they just use that as justification

2019-06-16 00:34:16 UTC  

I still believe that to be supply and demand

2019-06-16 00:54:16 UTC  

no that's basically the ultimate price of the product

2019-06-16 00:54:19 UTC  

you could be selling it for $20

2019-06-16 00:54:26 UTC  

but instead you sell it as $18 (for men)

2019-06-16 00:54:35 UTC  

since the batch in the men isn't as good as the women

2019-06-16 01:23:31 UTC  

oh interesting

2019-06-16 01:23:33 UTC  

what company is thi

2019-06-16 01:23:34 UTC  

s

2019-06-16 01:32:51 UTC  

olay lol

2019-06-16 02:03:59 UTC  

FUCK

2019-06-16 07:52:07 UTC  

you guys are also forgetting that men and women have different skin

2019-06-16 07:52:35 UTC  

women's skin is softer and therefore requires a different careproducts
