On average, women earn less than men, do more unpaid work and at the same time have higher expenses. Body-related products and services in particular cost more if they are intended for women. In short: being a woman is expensive!
If you occasionally shop for your partner at the drugstore, you may have noticed that men’s and women’s grooming products are priced differently. Whether it’s a shampoo for the hair or a razor, once it says “Ladies” or “For Her” on the – often pink – packaging, the product is often significantly more expensive than the unisex or men’s version of the same brand. This phenomenon, which is nothing new, is called “gender pricing”.
