pink tax
Feminine product surcharge
The pink tax is the tendency for products marketed to women to cost more than equivalent products for men—razors, shampoos, clothing.
The term captures the price differential as a kind of surcharge on femininity: Women pay a pink tax on everything from deodorant to dry cleaning.
Whether the markup reflects actual cost differences or market exploitation is debated.
