Well, it’s nothing about the color. Ben though gender doesn’t exist, pink is associated with female. But females don’t exist except when they want special privileges.
Anyway, this “pink tax” is about necessary items when must purchase (like feminine hygiene products) and they feel they wouldn’t have to pay tax on them because they’re a necessity. Somehow other things like diapers got lumped in. Please don’t spend too much time thinking about it making any sense or having and real meaning in society.
So, the pink tax has been identified (so far) as state sales tax. This is usually combined with a county/parish tax at the register. This only applies to the Louisiana sales tax rate of 4.5%.
A bleeder could buy $100 worth or ~600 tampons , enough to last 30 menstrual cycles or almost 2 1/2 years of periods................and save enough money from the “abolishment of the pink tax” to buy a fucking gallon of gas.
My numbers from this come from the average woman using ~20 tampons per menstrual cycle and the cost of 48ct. Tampax Pearl tampons from Walmart.
The point of my infographic about the diapers was to show the stupid shit the news will publish, how bad people can be at math, and how ridiculous all this virtue signaling is.
In some cases, razors are one example, they make the claim that the color increases the cost. Which may very well be true because the difference in manufacturing costs or making fewer in a batch leading to higher production cost.
They make this same claim with shampoo, claiming that the only difference is the floral pattern on the bottle. I say, then buy the other bottle.
The fact is, usually either the product requires extra manufacturing steps to appeal visually to women or the product is not made the same way.
I forgot that tampons not being considered necessary items cause them to incur sales tax. But these other stupid complaints over color also happen.
I’m guessing the days of men’s soap and body wash scents being “manly” will end soon. Instead of Lion and Rustic Cabin, the scents will be 3 Months Pregnant and Tommy’s Cock.
