This video has been disproven, it's quite embarrassing that it got uploaded again.
I wonder if the feminine products sell more. Could be supply and demand. This is a "joke" news channel. I'd look for other factors before taking it at face value.
It's very inaccurate, watch a video by "run don't walk". About this segment.
Most people in this comment section don't understand how a free market works
Making less and paying more. Ah, to be a woman.
Isn't this a reupload.. Btw this segment has been DEBUNKED.
One of the tags is throwback.
What’s stopping woman for buying men’s items? U didn’t answer the response
I work for a toy company that makes pink versions of our popular toys, they are identical in every single way, not one difference just the coloration, we do however sell them at the exact same COST and retail price on our own websites and amazon, however retailers mark up the pink products. Here's another fun fact: we sell more of the pink versions. when we decided to go gender neutral, we got backlash from moms online, sales plumeted. we brought the pink back. they sell like hot cakes. at high prices. at retailers. So I blame consumers. STOP BUYING PINK PRODUCTS. JUST STOP! GENDER IS A CONSTRUCT TEAR IT APART!
I hope nobody actually believes this.
I love Desi. Cracks me up every time
It wouldn't work if women were smart enough to stop falling for it.
I stop buy pink years ago. I came across one woman's review over a men razor/shaver that she used. I was floor to hear about a pink tax just for women. She told the rep. don't make one for women. Keep everything the same. She explained in her review about the pink tax. Today I walk in men's shoes. Men this or that. If is produce for men am buy it. I sew the boxers into boy short. Okay. I find away around it.
Bruh, women just don't get a break.

Worth the watch!!!
Excepted clubs and drinks
But you ladies live longer so f- you
She's my favourite in the show. 😂
I believe that this phenomenon was debunked by “Don’t Walk, Run Production’s” video. It thoroughly explains why the framing shown in this video is ludicrous.
Wasn't this debunked a while ago? Like, google Pink Tax debunked.
I always wondered why women pay more, yet get paid less.
First time i heard about gendered diapers. America is a whacko place
So are you still falling for it?
If women on average get less pay than men, and if products for women on average cost more than for men, then who is actually paying for those products? It has to be men, otherwise we have to assume that women on average use less products, which I don't think is the case.
If you want to know what the pink tax is ask Bill Burr..🤣 it's a surcharge for getting saved with the kids while the men get to go down with the ship and keep . Run into a burning building to save your dog, push your car, put out the trash, confront an armed burglar at 2am while you hide under the bed with the kids..😂😂😅😅 that's what pink tax is..
If women want the market to charge equal prices for any color, stop paying more for pink. You say it yourself, buy the male's version
Wow, I noticed every time I got by razors and soap, but I didn't know it was an actual thing. I usually buy mens for those unless I have coupons or it's on sale for women. Pink is my favorite color...
If it’s the same product why don’t women just buy the cheaper one? Ohhhh you mean to tell me it’s actually not the same product and that female’s products contain additional features that make them more expensive to manufacture and that women are actually willing to pay extra for these additional features as evidenced by them continuing to buy the products? Funny.
The haircut thing is silly, of course it costs more . The cut for men takes only half an hour at the most and ladies' takes hours n hours. But yes just because certain items are pink it shouldn't cost more.
Pink is my favorite color! 🌸Why do women have to stop buying pink girl items and buy cheaper men's items? Why can't the prices just be equal and why don't they stop over charging women? 🤷

I agree that for essentially the exact same product it would be fair if the price was the same. It would be difficult to force price controls in a free economy. It’s more likely that a new company could beat out an older company by offering lower prices (or a better product at the same price). Certain things like haircuts though are probably based on the time and complexity of the service. I welcome the opportunity to be corrected and would love to hear what you think.

Men's razors are too rough and meant for more coarse hair. The rest of the stuff is prolly true, though.

Throwback..... can you say what year? Plz Google search says 5 years old..... could have been 40
Pretty funny and definitely something to be addressed. One thing that makes you go hmmm is, of women pay more than men 42% of the time would that mean men pay more than women 58% of the time? As a man, I am looking forward to men's clothing to become cheaper, like women's clothing. :‐P

2:04 "Women are making 80 cents for every dollar earned by a man to do the same job." That's false. Women make 98 cents for every dollar a man makes to do the SAME job. The 80 cents refers to the 20 cent difference in median incomes across all jobs.

Gender is a social construct... to rip people off!
Why do we need companies to stop doing this, just boycott the products you don't like..they'll just follow suit once they realize no one buys their overprized pink products anymore
@akorede akeem no thank you

If this happened in my country, we would gladly buy blue and use men's products.
Well... frankly, if there's identical item available with less pink and it's cheaper... get the less pink one... Though... there are items that don't have the less pink version cheaper... so I give you that...
I wonder if the purple razor for transfolk costs more ?
Delusional!
So we're even brainwashing everyone to believe that pink is a feminine colour and blue is a masculine one? I'm sorry but this video was a joke if it meant to highlight women difficulties when it comes to equal pay. Terrible joke too
Okay at this point just call everything equal and say a man is a woman and a woman is a man 🤦 how can you ask for equality when everyone is clearly NOT Equal?
"Pink tax" is a bit misleading. It's not like the government is forcing these manufacturers to overcharge women. At the end of the day, if you want the government to protect your interests, you're a socialist. Don't see it as an insult, recognize that federal oversight is what keeps companies from charge $6000 a razor and what we have right now isn't federal oversight. That's why these companies are allowed to do this legally.
Men pay 100 percent more than women when dating. If you need equality, make it equal for everyone and everything.
This is why I like unisex clothing
This maybe odd but occasionally i buy men’s sport shoe. I have wide feet and regular women’s shoes are too tight so found out that men’s shoes are wide and cheap 😀😀😀
If anything women should side with everyone that's not a white male. Clearly the discrimination is coming from them
Why do we need to buy razors and shampo at the supermarket anyway?? I would rather onyl buy food at the supermarkets
Now imagine the black tax...
From going through our monthly to hot flashes during menopause. If men had to give birth I wonder if the human race would survive. They should give us a discount
The steady llama isely dare because hair methodologically undress beyond a victorious car. bewildered, eatable confirmation
My sister used to buy unscented men’s deodorant because they’re bigger and cheaper. Now the unscented kind is more expensive than the scented ones even though they should be less expensive to make. Scam!
Economic violence justifies physical self defense.
excellent job desi! with the bit and the running man @ 5:21
Yeah, but don't be a "Karen," heaven forbid.
If you think about your savings you will buy the cheapest of the 2, Who gives a f*ck if it's pink? It's a normal question about demand... If we, women, don't buy it they will stop selling it
cool maybe her next project will be period poverty
Regarding Haircuts, Men get their hair cut more often than women. I had this conversation with a group of friends, and women will go 3-4 months without a haircut, men will go every 2-3 weeks. I did a little Googling, and on average it's $34 for men and $45 for women, but when you count the frequency men get their hair cut, say conservatively every 3 weeks in a 3 month period (4 weeks per month), a man will have spent $34x4, which equals $136. Bill Burr said it best, (paraphrasing) Women make less money than men as an insurance policy... If a ship is sinking, Women and children first, Men last. If a building is burning, women and children first while the guy is left holding the door with his pant leg on fire. All joking aside, tell your legislature to push for a ban on "Pay Secrecy" within companies. While it doesn't need to be a public record, you should be allowed to go to your HR and ask to compare your salary to those who do the same job as you. Keep in mind the years of experience, education, and tenure one has at a company all come into play; you cannot expect Jane Doe fresh out of college to be making as much as anyone regardless of gender who has 20 years of experience and 10 years at that same job.
Why are there no women in construction zone ?
And pockets! Where the frug are pockets in women's clothing?!?! Real pockets too, not sewn-shut pockets or pockets the size of a tic-tac.
Oooh, let’s make car insurance rates equal too!
As a 21-year-old cishet woman I've been wearing men's shoes and clothes since high school because I'm cheap af. It's not a statement, not a quiet rebellion, I'm Mister Krabs in human form
But you find cute stuff on the pink...
Why are all of these products gender coded anyways? Just buy a regular razer, not a men's or women's razer. It sounds like the problem is that the consumer wants a pink razer.
My fav colour is Blue and I'm a girl. 💙 (Even before watching this video.)
Men should be outraged about this too, bearing in mind that they often earn the bacon that their wives get to spend.🤪
I don’t know if someone came across this, but women’s jogging pants are twice as expensive as men jogging pants. So I decided to buy men’s, and they are so comfortable, men’s jogging have big pockets and so much roomy!
Jav women are paid 10x the men lol
Haha i know you guys are trying to spread awareness and what not but that made me take the pink tax even less seriously now haha
All this is who's fault ?
Then just buy the blue one if it's the same product?
BUT aMERICA WHATS THIS
There is a similiar tax on men .. its called the gamer-tax.
This is basic economics, women on average have more disposable income and willingness to buy then men. Obviously business are going to take advantage of this even if it's unethical.
Ah, first world problems...when you are so secure in life you need to INVENT problems. Here let me fix these for you... Hmm, video shows razors, drugs, diapers, etc for men are EXACTLY the same as those for women. SOLUTION: Buy the men's product. You're welcome. Imaginary problem fixed. Let me clue you in on advertising, you DON'T have to buy what they tell you to buy. Shocking :o
Was the Lisa(blackpink) raspberry(pinked) pepsi a little smaller and cost more in US too??
I watched a video about boy’s and girl’s toys. They were the same price, but the boy’s had more options.
Wasnt this video debunked before?
the keyword was similiar for most cases
The thing is, that when It comes to those things men don't care. They will get the cheapest thing possible. Go to a clothing store. why is the women's section 5 time the size of the men's section? Go to a bar or a dance club, there's no men's night where men get in free and women pay full price. It's not discrimination, it consumerism. Think before you buy. The men's version is just the no frills generic version. It's like you're saying women can't read, research, and choose. That's sexist.
I brought my daughter a pink desk for home and cost $109. The boys desk in blue was $89. Pay us less and charge us more.
I'm not a big fan of the color pink anyway, so I've been saving money for a while.
Just gotta love Desi
Why would you even want to pay more for pink 😂 I dont even like the color.
Is there pink tax for cosmetics?
Women are paying for more choices, for example in the pharmacy, there are only 5 brands of men shampoo but 50 for women.
Well its lie
Pro-tip: always shop at Costco.
I guess this is why I've always hated the color pink since I was a preteen. It was instinctual 🤣
Wow body flexibility
Shiet... I have been using women's deodorant since I was an adolescent because some cute girls told me they like the way I smell. If I had been buying Axe this whole time, I'd be a billionaire!!!
Great. More of this. Ugh. I think that's the thing I love about the pandemic...fat pants, slippers, no makeup, no bras. I wore the same 3 sweat shirts all year...like a guy. $6. a shirt Amazon. A new guy bathrobe $17. half of the women's and nicer too.
The pink tax is very surprising, but the solution is not to create a law or call corporate, that is ridiculous. They take advantage of it because there is a market for pink products. The market is created and sustained by the consumers. There are whole industries sustained just by women: make up, clothing, shoes, accessories, handbags, hair/nail/skin care, plastic surgery, fashion, etc. They exist because there is a strong demand that is more than willing to pay the extra charge. In fact the higher price is linked to status so is part of the attraction. The solution, individually, is easy: do not to buy the more expensive products. But globally is impossible, you would need to change women's culture.
If the difference is really in the colour, why not buy the mens’ and vote with your dollar. Or does pink = women? And since when are you expecting marketing to be ethical? XD Also, why only look at women, there are plenty of products that tend to be more expensive for men, e.g. car insurance (not everywhere, but in many places), work clothing, sports equipment, etc. where’s the outrage? Why only pink tax?
"Just buy the men's razor/painkiller...lol"😂😂😂😂
Women/girls, stop buying the expensive version and buy the cheaper one. The market will adjust.
#DeathBy "same active ingredient"... Coke???
I use men's deodorant all the time
The pink dye is very expensive.
