How the Pink Tax Is Ripping Off Women | The Daily Show 

But now when you buy pink you support breast cancer awareness and research.

@@kuntamdc - That’s one of the things you have to be aware of. Sometimes, you may think that your purchase supports breast cancer awareness and research, but it all depends on the organization which is participating in the “buy pink” campaign, and just how much of the profits from “buying pink” products are actually going towards breast cancer awareness and research.

Wow, so you mean you are not forced to do it by the patriarchy?.

@@cristianproust - If I purchase something, it’s because I need it. I’m not exactly sure what the patriarchy has to do with that, so I’m a bit baffled by your comment.

@@MsSissiePooh Men buy the cheapest, the appearance is irrelevant, that is why doing the same function or having the same active substance, you would make the dumbest choice. You just saw it. Men don't dream with a 2000 bag. A car can be resold, that bag is a massive depreciation in the waiting. Is not discrimination, is rationalizing dumb choices.

But they need you to buy that designer bag.

In tight jeans pockets doesn't make much practical sense regardless. Im a boy but wore skinny fit through all last decade, and I never leave the house without some kind of shoulder/crossbody bag, because there is just nowhere to put the phone(it barely fits and wants to jump out all the time), all the keys, cards and passports without badly bending them, etc.

Amazing 🤩

That is an IQ test. Not gender inequality.

Pink dye is expensive, just so everyone knows...

@@TwoDogsBigYard If the demand is lower, then the price should be too.

@@TwoDogsBigYard That's exactly how MASS production works. If you produce in mass you have an abundant supply. If there is no demand for your abundant supply, then you have to lower the price until someone is willing to buy it at that amount. If you never find that price, you go out of business and this is how you fail at being an entrepreneur. This isn't how exclusive production works, however. BUT to be an exclusive production company (AKA luxury production) you typically need a strong brand name behind it... like Ferrari, or Rolex. That, or have an obscenely desired product right off the bat in terms of quality and value.

That was my favorite too

@@dw999 truth. Societal expectations of what women have to do.

Yeah, all the things she said, I really felt that too

My husband and I have rain jackets from the same company and his has a loop at the back of the neck for hanging, mine doesn’t. Then I started to notice this was a trend in outwear. Women want to hang up their jackets on hooks just like men do! I’d buy men’s clothing but they’re too big; they have better colors too.

Its true I did start shoppin in the mens dept before the pandemic

I do too. I like having the option of mire pockets.

@@meowyimeow regarding the colors, I noticed this with Nike where I had a ton of different color schemes to choose from but then when I wanted to get my mother the exact same shoe, all of the women's color schemes had to be pink. There was way less options

It's an outdoor jacket they don't come in man and woman....just different models! The store can put one in the male aisle and one in the female aisle, this doesn't change the fact that they are just still jackets without any particular difference in cut and shape!

And male razors tend to do a better job!

I think the men's razors work better. I have to keep going back over my legs so many times with those lady razors. I end up with 5 nicks per leg and still missed strips of hair

You gotta admit though... the gel ring around the razor for moisture is pretty cool. I used my wife’s once but the blades aren’t as sharp.

@@Chris-rg6nm I hope you're kidding, because what you are saying is pretty disrespectful. I mean, "disposable" income? What the heck? Women are working as doctors, lawyers and other high income jobs, too. And women want to own stuff too. I definetly want to make my own living and be independent. I don't want to be a housewife. And I think many other women feel the same way. PS: I don't know where you are living, but I have never in my life gotten a drink for free at a bar. Sure, friends of mine have bought me drinks several times. But I have paid for their drinks just as often.

Men want the cheapest, women put cuteness first. Nobody forces anybody to do it that way, nobody watches you at home. This is the most ridiculous first world drama

I get that the smell is unpleasant to you. But as long as you can chose "blue" just boycott expensive counterpart-products for women.

I do exactly the same and more and have found a man's deodorant that smells great.

@@thomaskoning3985 Flip the situation in your mind. Would you boycott your products and only use things that smell "girly"?

A lot of products have a scent less option, that might be helpful!

@@linda_monroe Yeah, I’d go that route, because men’s scents are almost exclusively foul. What is their goal with some of these? To make men smell like they’ve been rolling in compost after wrestling a skunk?

One word: f*cking POCKETS OK, I needed two words

Because women want a new one every couple weeks.

I mean when you barely have any on

Wong Tik Ki I wear scrubs because they're comfortable. My daughter gave me several sets that her mother-in-law gave her, that she couldn't wear. That was 16 years ago.

About the shoes 👟, my mother has small feet as well and buys often her shoes in the boys children section. Way cheaper than adult shoes.

Yeah seriously! Try checking out the “boys” section of shoes they have the smaller sizes They’re for kids but you never know Although kids shoes are usually more expensive than men’s. I am the exact fit of the smallest show made for Men so I got lucky 😆

Cheapest stuff isn't labelled for men, just generic. An example, is Costco's deodorant stick offerings with the bottom $/oz being ungendered Gillette, top being shared by Old Spice Ult. and Secret Ultimate. If it doesn't look at home on a factory floor, it can go lower.

Not sure if that's the same. Men's shirts usually are not shaped as well as women's shirts.

@@mikelytou i dont think it is necessary, and tight clothes are not comfortable so a plain simple t shirt for men works for me and costs half the price

Very true. Go look at prices that are charged for the same item used in different hobbies like a storage bin. The exact same bin will be marketed as an art bin, a toolbox, a craft bin, and a fishing tackle box. All will have different prices and the ones marketed toward artists will often be double those sold for fishing or tools.

Very true. I still have the orange tackle box I bought for Arch school in college. Though things were pretty cheap back then, I probably could have gotten it cheaper than at the student bookstore.

@UThink UCan To be Fair 98% of car dealer will try and rip anyone off

FWIW, I got the same reply and I am a big manly man. They were shocked when I rebutted their claims that they would lose money. All I had done was read a couple articles and learned what costs are real and which are actually covered by the manufacturer. They even had me write down the websites because they were so flustered. I said, “this car has been stuck on your lot, which I know from this simple web search, and at the price I am offering, you will make $1k on the sale with virtually no effort.” They think we are all dumb.

Yeah, when it comes to cars I only know basics so I typically ask the mechanic to explain to my dad since he has lifelong experience. That really helps. And for car shopping my mom is actually the best to bring along. I bought a new car in Nov 2020. I'd already narrowed down the exact car and model I wanted after months of research (including a spreadsheet). When I went alone I was treated like I was just born yesterday. Two separate dealerships tried to double charge me for protective coating on fabric/paint by selling it separately, and then part of a 3-year service package. They also pretended to discount certain things in one part of the itemized sheet then added "transit charges" or other things that removed the discounts. You have to be really detailed when car shopping these days! Though the funny part is the dealership I ended up buying from had a finance guy who was so full of himself he accidentally discounted $3k. I remember being really surprised by the total since it perfectly matched what the sales person told me in text (she specifically said after tax title and license). I knew there were two discounts - dealer and manufacturer - so I just asked the guy to double check everything and tell me the total. It was exactly what I understood myself. So I signed and drove home with the car. A day later, the finance guy told me the section I'd asked about had a "mistake" (he couldn't tell me where on the contract when I asked), and asked me to come "re-contract." I told him I wouldn't be paying any more money unless he could tell me where the contract said I owed any. I then send a screenshot showing the sales person offering the exact price I paid. A few days lapsed and I got an email apology. I'm assuming he got in trouble for not adding in some BS fees to charge me extra. Whoops. I somehow tricked them into being honest and following through on a promise?!

Women make less on the whole, because they work fewer hours than men, and choose jobs that pay less.

@@user232349 Exactly!

That is definitely not true men get in accidents more so they charge more for insurance and cars try buying a bike

The “pink tax” really starts when you have to get repairs on said car. 😳

@@ImSimplyAHuman now that is true some mechanics think just because you are women you don’t know what they are talking about they take advantage

When negotiations the cost of a car, the sales people are more likely to want to give men a better deal so they will negotiate to lower prices for men. So women end up paying more for the car. Then men go around bragging that they are just better at negotiating. The same but opposite is true for negotiating for salaries and raises. The boss is more likely to want to pay men higher, they emphasize with men for needing to support themselves and their families, but they don’t believe that women need to support themselves or their families. So women get offered less salary and less raises. If women fight harder to negotiate for fair wages or raises, she is seen as problematic, which makes the boss even less likely to want to pay her what she is worth. And once again men go around thinking it’s because they are better at negotiating, or better at their jobs then women, when the truth is, more was just handed over to men. Women aren’t going to get it even when they fight hard for it. It’s like playing a home town football game where the refs have decided before hand they will make every call they can in favor of the home team. It makes the win easy for the home team and impossible for the visiting team.

...which I would not do because with the rise of autonomous cars people will just rent cars by calling the type of car they need to the place they need it. No more DMV, car insurance, searching for parking spaces and other trash. You had st pay for the type of vehicle you need at the moment. It will drive to you - you use it - and when you are done it will remove itself.

I'm pretty sure that was not her leg...

@@HappySwedishPancake really?

@@tanviohol6807 you see a bit of her actual leg at 2:30. With the hairy leg they always edited so that her full body wasn't shown.

Factually the statement is incorrect about women shaving because of other women. Women were shamed into shaving their armpits during the roaring twenties when the dress sleeves were shortened. They didn’t have to shave their legs because of stockings. However, during WW2 stockings were needed for the war effort. So women were encouraged to donate their hosiery for the effort, and were told to shave their legs if they wanted to have that smooth appearance. Women also drew lines down the backs of their legs to simulate the stockings seam. And it’s been that way ever since.

You could just not shave your legs and give up your gender advantage. Men don't do it since it doesn't do them any favors. You hardly look at most either way.

Fair point. However, wouldn't it just make sense to add on to the price for areas that take more time, rather than charge all women more regardless of what they're getting cleaned?

@@annakeye Oh we only charged by specific item-not all women paid the same! I believe that's the general rule, but I'm not actually sure how other places do it.

In fact, this buissnes guy is right. Designing an fabricating products just for woman make them cost more, not because of sexism, but because of developement cost. Its like a "special edition" of an existing product. Also, woman coud buy men products, but men cannot buy woman products. Its basic buissnes, not the "patriarchy". Also, woman haircuts are more compicated an take more time to do, so of corse they are more expensive. And also, when you work at an exclusive workplace, EVERYONE has to take time to dress properly. This has nothing to do with "high beauty standarts". In total, woman are more willing to pay mor for beauty than men, so they make woman beauty products more expensive. Its that simple. And how do you imagine this "patriarchy", this conspiacy of all men against women works? That makes absolutly no sense. Leting a woman hop trough a supermarket dosen't make this "problem" a real thing. But hey, its against men, so its hip, woke and modern.

@@lucaarmillei1682 Thanks for highlighting the "real problem". You are right patriarchy isn't the real problem, it's the denial of the implications of patriarchy. Thanks for spelling it out for everyone.

@@lucaarmillei1682 the patriarchy is what decided men's items are the "existing product" and women's items are "special edition" in the first place. Feminine hygiene and feminine birth control products are NOT "special edition" products, yet ridiculously expensive AND are taxed as "non essential" items to boot. As for "taking time to dress properly" for work, a very quick scan of the comments above and below reveal discussions of how men's clothes are stitched better, use better quality materials, and last longer, all for a cheaper price. How is it reasonable to expect women to pay more for less quality? the only reason this argument doesn't make sense to you is because you refuse to open your eyes to the true costs of being a woman. Just because it isn't your daily life experience doesn't mean it isn't real.

Unless a man is bald young men are just as fussy as women about their hair these days. Unless a woman wants to completely change her hair style which is not that often, the hairdresser will be able to cut her hair in the same amount of time as a man's hair. It may take slightly longer to blow dry that's all.

@@ksc743 Very much not true. Also, there are plenty of places that charge a flat fee for a haircut. It wasn't until I was 17 that I got my first haircut at anywhere other the greatclips, because everyone in my family would just go to greatclips. We would save coupons from the mail, and it was a $6.95 haircut for me, or my sister, or my dad, or my mom, regardless of gender or hair length/type/thickness. Now, I pay significantly more than any of the women in my life because I have a special colour, so I go in every 6-8 weeks for a trim, bleach, and re-dye. Most of the girls I know my age go once a year or less, and still pay less than I do per session for hair, or the exact same if they get a colour change as well as a cut.

If the price difference is unreasonable, that would great opportunity to open up a salon with better pricing and claim a large chunk of the market.

Nope. Women are exploited, not complicit. Stop trying to blame discrimination against women on women. We are never part of the decision-making process - it's all about profits, not OUR preferences

I agree with your statement

@@jane.elliot5782 it's not discrimination against women. It's simply the market determining the optimal price point for highest profit. They do that with every single product in the store. The only solution is for the customer to not buy overpriced items. They would do the same for men's products, but men are less picky than women so you can't charge too much, otherwise the man will just switch to a cheap generic product.

The Pink tax isn't just for items that could be substituted such as shampoo, deodorant etc. There are actual items taxed (and sometimes heavily on top of outrageous prices) that only women use such as tampons and pads, bras and even underwear. Some things can be switched but the use has to also be considered. Men's razors were designed for faces so they tend to be sharper and harsher on the skin and hair of the legs, especially knees. Men's clothes often don't fit well on curvier women even if they find a same matching size, as men often have their weight in the belly region and women in their hips and thighs. Men's pants often don't consider that sort of adjustment in design that women's pants would. Then there is the pocket thing. Not all women carry purses. My gf carries a wallet because carrying all the extra weight from her old purse actually started damaging her knees. Clothes with actual pockets are hard for her find. Don't even get her started on dresses. So it's possible for most to make substitutions, in some things there really isn't any way to.

@@user232349 Dove has had a few "man" deodorants. Having an expensive male counter part for traditionally female brands is something that's being attempted. Anyway women are willing to pay for for these products because of effective advertising. Of course they deserve the blame. They've made it their job to manipulate others for profit.

It kind of is, isn't it? The United States of Patriarchs. Steal from the women first. Then move to the other targets.

It's what presentation does. I bet I can find non-fake examples of blue stuff being more expensive than pink stuff. There are more differences than just the colour.

It’s a re-post, which they sometimes do when Trevor’s taking a break? Though I don’t remember them doing it on weekends. Anyway, it’s not new.

The word ‘Throwback’ is written on the thumbnail, right under the show’s logo.

@@uznaimat7072 But not in the description. Kinda shady that Trevor fellow.

@@misterhat5823 Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert did the same recently. I guess they're allowed to take breaks occasionally!

It clearly wasn't her leg.

@@misterhat5823 Uh, yeah, well of course I knew that. Obviously fake. Part of the joke, right? I mean, I was never fooled. They can't put one over on me. They're crazy if they think so. I would never fall for that. Not for one minute. Not in a million years. Everyone else knew too, right? Didn't you all? I mean, we're all just laughing together, aren't we? I'm laughing harder than everybody. But not so much you'd notice. Just moderately laughing more. Maybe just the same. Or not. 🤔 IT WAS FUNNY! 🙂

@@jamesmziegler I never said you were fooled. Just made an observation.

@@misterhat5823 No problem I'm just having fun 👍
