"I'm a more masculine-leaning lady. I scheduled an appointment with a barber, pointed to a few pictures of men's haircuts from their Instagram, and asked for something like that (two inches on top and a fade on the bottom). I received that cut, yet paid $25 for the women's haircut price instead of $20 for the men's."

"Fun fact: When I worked at a pharmacy years ago, an angry older man put up an enormous tantrum because he was prescribed clotrimazole for athlete's foot, and the pharmacist gave him Canesten in a pink box labeled for yeast infections, even though his insurance covered more of that type than the blue box for athlete's foot.

I don’t know if he thought he would spontaneously grow a vagina or something, but he was happier to pay $9 more to make sure all the employees knew he was coochie-free."

"I'm 26, and I've started wearing men's boxer briefs at home as pajama bottoms because they’re so comfy. I have since noticed ads for 'lady boxers' and other brands of boxer briefs 'made for women' that are three times the price of men's.

Was the marketing team thinking, 'Women are saving money by buying men's underwear? Better trick them into paying the pink tax again.'"

"Jeans are something that really annoys me, not only because of the higher price, but because I can barely fit anything in the pockets."

"The one thing men generally pay more for is car insurance."

"Menstrual products should be free for everyone who needs them, and it’s unfair that they’re not."

"This is real; this is how the real world works, and people can look right at that and still deny that the patriarchy is real.

"Then some things that should cost the same for men and women don't — even 'razors for women' cost more due to the pink tax. It all leaves me rolling my eyes."
