why women pay more than men - the Line
Post-topia
October 9, 2020
Follow us on Telegram
IN THE OPINION OF ROSCOMNADZOR, "UTOPIA" IS A PROJECT OF THE CENTER "NO TO VIOLENCE", WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, FUNCTIONS OF FOREIGN AGENT
Why not?
Briefly
What do a woman's haircut, a disposable razor, and a Gucci T-shirt have in common? "Tax on pink".
All over the world, women pay more for clothes, medicines, personal care products and sometimes even food. But they pay not for quality, but for gender. "Utopia" understands why this is happening and whether the "pink tax" works in Russia.
What is the Pink Tax?
It is also called "pink tax" or "pink tax". This is a form of price discrimination where products marked "specially for women" are more expensive than similar products for men.
The pink tax was first discussed in the early 1990s following a report from the California State Assembly Research Bureau. The study found clear price discrimination based on gender, with more than half of the dry cleaners in the state's five major cities charging a higher price for women's blouses than men's shirts.
California Consumer Affairs found that women pay $351 more than men for similar services during the year. As a result, at 19In 1995, California passed a law abolishing tax obligations for citizens of both sexes.
There was a second surge of attention to the “pink tax” in 2015, after the release of a New York City Consumer Affairs study. It shows that, on average, women pay 13% more for personal care products, 8% more for clothing (and 4% for children's clothing), 7% more for accessories and toys for children. girls."
According to the study, it costs more for women:
- Mortgage . In the US, women pay 0.4% more on mortgages than men.
- Loans. Banks give women loans at higher interest rates, although they go bankrupt less often than men.
- Clothes. Underwear - 29%, shirts - 13-15%, jeans - 10%, sweaters - 6%, socks - 3%.
- Cars. US auto dealers offer men better deals and discounts on auto purchases than women.
- Dry cleaning. Washing a women's shirt costs almost twice as much as a men's shirt.
- Personal care products. Shampoos and conditioners by 48%, deodorant by 3%, soap by 6%, shaving foam by 4%.
Why is this happening?
Manufacturers explain the difference in price between similar products for women and men by the appearance of products: to make beautiful packaging, decorate an item with rhinestones or develop a style that fits well on a female figure, you need to spend more time and materials. Accordingly, the price of the final product increases.
For example, clothing brand Old Navy told me that in the process of creating women's plus-size jeans, designers use stretchy materials and work out the details of the fit of such items of clothing.
Another important factor is government import tax in the US and most European countries. For example, in 2015 in the USA it was 15.1% for women's goods and 11.9% for men's.
At the same time, the “pink tax” has other reasons, based primarily on stereotypes about women. For example, marketer Mikhail Dymshits states: “Women tend to buy something for themselves more expensive than similar goods for the family or for men.
That is, slightly higher prices are the result of both purely economic reasons and the peculiarities of female psychology.
Christine Whelan, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, says that the desire to surround yourself with beautiful things (even if you have to pay extra for them) is normal for many women. At the same time, it is important to understand that the marketing strategy for products for women can be based on stereotypes about “female psychology”, because of which consumers fall into a vicious circle: they pay more for the same products because these products are more expensive than similar ones, but with label for men.
How the pink tax is being tackled in the US and Europe
In 2018, the US introduced a bill to abolish the pink tax to end gender discrimination. Some shops, pharmacies and eateries held rallies in support of him.
For example, posters appeared at the entrance to the Thompson Chemists pharmacy urging all male customers to pay an additional "male tax" of 7%.
Burger King ran a promotion selling chicken nuggets in pink packaging for double the price of regular ones. As the women argued, resented, and refused to pay, the cashier pointed out to them that they were already buying many items at an unfair markup.
In 2014, the French organization Georgette Sand published a petition on Change.org calling on the large supermarket chain Monoprix to stop "sexist marketing". In literal translation, the name of the supermarkets means “single price”, but the activists noticed that many similar goods for men and women differ in price.
They collected the brightest examples on a separate Tumblr page. However, Monoprix denied all allegations, citing the difference in price due to the individual characteristics of the goods and sales volume:
- Men's disposable razors sell much better, which helps keep the price down. In addition, the female model of the razor requires additional production costs.
- The sales volume of men's shaving gel is also higher, so its purchase price is lower than that of women's.
Also, the female version has a more complex diffuser and silk extract has been added to it, which also affects the price. - Monoprix also gave examples where men's products are more expensive than women's: for example, aerosol deodorants (2.06 euros for men and 1.88 euros for women) and shower gels (1.76 euros for men and 1.60 euros for women ).
As a result of this incident, the Ministry of Economy conducted a study and supported Monoprix: according to the government report, there is no discrimination in pricing.
However, in 2015, after women's protests, France reduced the tax on pads and tampons from 20% to 5%, equating them with essentials such as drinking water and toilet paper.
In the same year, Canada also dropped the tax on feminine hygiene products. And in 2018, 5-10% VAT on pads and tampons was canceled in Malaysia.
In February 2020, the Scottish Parliament approved a bill to provide women with free personal care products. By the way, in 2018 Scotland became the first country in the world in which pads and tampons began to be distributed in schools and universities for free.
“Pink tax” in Russia
trend. Some categories of goods for women are 10-15% more expensive. Others - only by 1-3%. After all, a woman is considered the best buyer. A woman is a more active buyer than a man. She loves variety. And the manufacturer and the seller, who know about it, will never give up extra profit.”
Katyrin also noted that in Soviet times there was no "tax on pink" because there was a state plan and prices were calculated based on the real value of the product, and not the gender of the potential buyer. In his opinion, the “pink tax” appeared when “the Western market with its own laws” came to the country in the 1990s.
We decided to check how things are on the Russian market in 2020 and compare prices for some goods in the average consumer basket. It turned out that everything is not so clear. Try to guess which goods are more expensive for men and which are more expensive for women.

What can you do to avoid overpaying
The main way to fight the "pink tax" is to "vote in rubles": remember that goods marked "specially for women" are subject to it or pink and compare prices of similar products marketed as men's or unisex before purchasing.
