How The Pink Tax Affects You! | Generation Girl Code

They pay us less and charge us more?! Make it make sense.


In this episode of Generation Girl Code, we’re breaking down the Pink Tax—and no, it’s not as cute as it sounds. From overpriced razors and lotions to the outrageous reality that menstrual products are still taxed like luxury goods in many states, this is economic discrimination dressed up in pastel packaging. Did you know women’s products cost, on average, 7% more than men’s—even when they’re practically the same? Or that people who menstruate can spend up to $6,000 in a lifetime just managing their cycles?


This isn’t just about price tags. This is about power.
