I have no idea what the pink tax is. What Democrat-run state imposed that tax?

I just read about it. Sounds like one of those faux woke terms someone came up with to make a name for themselves. I have shopped for boys and men and noticed no noticeable price difference. My dad and brothers clothes are expensive. Tuxedos usually cost more than bridesmaid dresses. Birth control pills might come out cheaper than condoms. IDK. I'm sure if we all looked hard enough we can find some injustice. I'm black and my hair care products are expensive. So am I suffering from a black tax?

Yeah, I'm not sure how they're comparing it. I happened to look at razors in a store yesterday and noticed that the men's were more than three times as expensive as most of the women's... the men's razors also looked to be much higher quality. I don't think I've seen different prices for the exact same brand, nor that women's were significantly higher. I could be wrong, this is just quick observation instead of a detailed study, but... yeah.

I think that's a curl tax. A ton of women (me included) buy hair products marketed for black women because a lot of the products are just better for textured hair and scalps without all the bullshit. Except polyquats. God, they're in nearly everything and cause hellish buildup.
