PINK TAX - Duchess - 06-02-2015
Are you aware it costs more to be a woman than a man? Everything from basically the very same shower gel to dry cleaning a simple sweater, it costs more for a female than for a man.

Yes. It's a tough road being a woman.

Oh I bought these very hip very groovy Beatles mens tshirts. I always get compliments, they look very cool $10 each! I know. We are ripped off as women, and I think Naomi Wolf adresses this issue in her book The Beauty Myth. Where as women we are pressured to buy all these things to be presentable and acceptable for society.
I bought these ripped black tights from the Stocking Shop, cost me $30. Yes they look very nice on. But everything for women is expensive. I wonder if their designer perfumes are as expensive as ours are?

Life can be a bitch for us of the female gender. I hope Ms. Caitlyn Jenner knows what she is in for. But then again, she is rich.

Tell that to a divorce lawyer.

There is serious shit going on in the world, and I don't need to know about this persons penis being severed.

About 10 years ago I worked at a silk screening company. We had a major contract with walmart, which included tagging and bagging the product before it was shipped.
The woman's shirt tags were 50 cents more that the men's shirt tag, even though it was the exact same t-shirt, with the exact same design.
I questioned the owner about this, and was told that it is the industry standard to charge more for woman's clothing. He never gave me a reason for it, but I've noticed almost every retail store is the same way.
Since I've worn the men's style of t-shirt (which has a higher neckline and wider shoulders) most of my life, so I hadn't thought about it before working there.
I prefer men's sneakers, too. They are wider and cheaper than woman's sneakers.
I think my father knew that girls clothes were more expensive, he used to buy my clothes for me while growing up & we always shopped in the boys department.

I have a couple of things on the backburner. But I'm a bit of a scaredy cat.

Well, generally men's fragrances are less potent due to less oil, which falls in a different classification than perfume. The common nomenclature, at least in the U.S., is that women's fragrances are called perfume while men's are called cologne.

Playing sweetie, nobody wears pantyhose anymore. Although I did hear they might be making a comeback. Not my wardrobe though.

They wear them if they have ugly legs. Clang doesn't seem like the type to shave his legs so he'd look pretty silly in a dress with hairy man legs.

I've got a 12 ounce bottle of Nair just waiting to be opened. Probably waiting until fall/winter when my shaved legs/arms and stuff will be less noticeable and easier to cover up while in male mode.

They do come in handy when withdrawing money from the bank.
