being a woman can cost you apparently an
[2]
average of fourteen hundred dollars a
[4]
year thanks to gender price
[5]
discrimination
[6]
if you're a woman just about everything
[8]
cost you more
[10]
than similar products marketed for men
[12]
it's called the pink tax
[14]
i needed to investigate by testing some
[17]
products
[18]
but i wasn't going to fall victim to
[19]
price discrimination by actually
[21]
paying for them two razors one blue
[24]
one pink otherwise identical does the
[26]
pink one give a silky or shave
[29]
only one way to find out
[32]
[Music]
[36]
what i'm a full-time working mom what do
[38]
you expect
[46]
[Music]
[48]
they're exactly the same could this be
[50]
an isolated case
[51]
i continued my investigation we need a
[54]
patriarchy cleanup in aisle 13.
[60]
two painkillers one marketed for lady
[62]
cramps question is
[64]
which is more effective
[65]
[Music]
[70]
just as i thought same active ingredient
[73]
this is [聽__聽] why do products cost
[75]
more for women than men
[77]
well classic marketing strategies what
[79]
they call shrink it and pink it
[81]
oh yeah i had that surgery that's not
[83]
what we're talking about
[84]
in this case what we're saying is the
[86]
company will take the basic version they
[88]
made for everyone
[88]
and then market that towards women
[90]
they'll make it smaller they'll make it
[91]
pink
[92]
yeah same same thing basic economics 101
[96]
it goes right to their bottom line yeah
[97]
i mean that's the whole point of the
[98]
surgery
[99]
went to my bottom line but there's one
[102]
lawmaker congresswoman jackie speer
[104]
who's been fighting gender
[106]
discrimination for over 20 years
[108]
get rid of the gender tax women on the
[110]
average pay five dollars
[112]
more for a haircut than does a man
[115]
they should be paying you to get those
[116]
haircuts but that's not the point
[118]
the pink tax is a insidious
[121]
institution in america and mind you
[124]
women are still making 80 cents
[126]
for every dollar earned by a man to do
[128]
the same job and if you're a woman of
[130]
color you're making even less money
[132]
i ran the numbers and overcharged plus
[134]
underpaid equals the square root of
[136]
what the so unfair
[140]
it's like when someone has blue eyes
[141]
everyone falls in love with them
[143]
but you get pink eye once and suddenly
[144]
you're kicked out of your neighbor's hot
[146]
tub
[147]
it's three o'clock in the morning what
[148]
are they gonna use it for
[150]
women aren't just getting discriminated
[152]
against with goods but with services as
[154]
well
[155]
haircuts tailoring dry cleaning
[159]
research has shown women pay more than
[161]
men 42 percent of the time
[162]
in fact a recent study shows it starts
[164]
from the time you were born until the
[166]
day you
[166]
die as displayed and some of these
[170]
products we have with us today
[172]
and a game we call
[173]
[Music]
[176]
34 to 44.
[180]
oh great so while your little girl is
[181]
learning how to walk she'll also learn
[183]
how to navigate the system that's
[185]
exploiting her
[186]
sorry these are two children snorkels
[190]
884 16 22 for the pink
[194]
so women literally have to pay more to
[196]
breathe
[197]
sorry 28 women's
[200]
diapers for 15.98
[204]
but the men get 32 diapers for the same
[207]
amount of money
[208]
this is why i stopped pooping and just
[212]
like me
[213]
this system is full of [聽__聽] how can
[215]
women afford to live in this world
[217]
if the man's version is cheaper then
[218]
just buy that one yeah
[220]
sure if you think about it it's just one
[222]
extra step and a series of extra steps
[224]
that women take every day to thrive in a
[226]
man's world
[227]
like how we get up a little extra early
[229]
every morning to put on an outfit that
[231]
looks professional yet accessible
[233]
but not too accessible because we don't
[234]
want to be taken advantage of
[236]
or how we walk an extra five blocks to
[238]
work so that we can avoid
[240]
the construction zone because men like
[242]
to tell us to smile more
[243]
and when we get to work we want to make
[245]
our voices heard but in a way that's
[247]
helpful and strong without being
[249]
overbearing or shrill
[250]
you know we do all of this without even
[252]
an ounce of resentment because
[254]
resentment causes wrinkles and
[256]
society does not value aging women
[260]
is there a men's wrinkle cream that you
[262]
can recommend
[264]
yes there are several i'm sure it costs
[266]
less
[267]
maybe a little there's got to be a
[269]
better solution
[270]
i'm introducing the pink tax repeal act
[274]
we have got to get the federal
[276]
government
[277]
to protect women from this
[280]
gross discrimination that's right spear
[283]
is ready to give the pink tax some blue
[284]
balls
[285]
but why stop there i think there has to
[288]
be an outrage
[289]
women should say why is this more this
[292]
is discrimination
[293]
i'm going to call corporate got it be
[296]
outraged
[297]
make our voices heard take it into our
[300]
own hands
[301]
until the repeal the pink tax act gets
[303]
passed i'm gonna make up for all the
[305]
[聽__聽] we've already paid for with the
[307]
help
[308]
of my little pink friend
[314]
perfect giving women their money back
[317]
one item at a time
[319]
we'll call it desi's dick tax strong
[322]
enough for a man
[323]
but priced just for her
[340]
