There's a picture at the top of the Wikipedia article for pink tax; depicting men's and women's products for the same price and the woman's version being significantly smaller, you're saying that doesn't exist? I'll go another step and say there's a phenomenon I've noticed where women enforce standards of beauty and cosmetic use, the trope of teenage girls shoplifting cosmetics, socially picking on eachother to enforce a norm the includes the use of various products. And then the marketing for acne products, skin clensers, foundations and fillers and so on and so forth. All targeted at the self esteem of the target audience. This extends into cosmetic surgery botox etc. I find the marketing and the bullying behavior around that industry quite distasteful. My user handle is meant to be an ironic jab at the cosmetic industry after all.
