Have been generally chatting on Instagram on the Pink Tax. Women having to pay more for standard stuff.

Example - Razors.
Women’s Razors - over 200/-
Men’s starts at 10/-

1/n

Our TShirts last 10 washes. Men’s T Shirts last 10 years. So long lasting that if you decide to make it a ‘pocha’ and then change your mind to wear it - you *still* could.
2/n

Women’s workout clothes - tight, form fitting and uncomfortable at the crotch. Else you need to pay a bomb.

Men’s - Airy, comfortable.

3/n

Shorts for lounging / home wear / generally will walk to pakathu kadai types for women - don’t exist. They are usually bum shorts. Need to be ‘hot’.

Men have super comfortable ones that last years.

4/n

Underwear is by far the MOST uncomfortable. Bras leave permanent marks on our ribs / shoulders. Panties cut into our thighs.
Sooo darned expensive. More expensive for plus sized women whose breasts are anyway sexualized.
Handkerchiefs for women - more expensive plus TINY!
5/n

Give womens clothes pockets. We will thank you. When we want the bag - we WILL BUY them!

This pink tax, making us PAY all the damned time, even for our periods - aww patriarchy do we detest you so.

Not an exhaustive list at all.
But am done.

Basically ladies, buy T Shirts, workout clothes, razors, hankies, helmets (!!!! Most girls helmets dont have a chin guard) made for men.

Save money. Plus you ll get the Marvel Characters if you need em.
This gendered clothing starts from the age of 2 by the way.

Fin.
