Kind of weird when it comes to food everyone is a cheapskate, but when it comes to luxury products (I use luxury loosely, I just mean products that you don't necessarily NEED) women and some men will spend ludicrous amounts of money just for the name on the box or the color of the item.

Clothing is especially bad for this. People pay thousands for clothing that is no better than something you could have created for you by a local tailor for cheap. But then they go and stuff their face with the cheapest and most processed disgusting junk they can. They care more about their appearance than the fuel they put in their body.
It's sad

It's not too surprising that's the case.
Clothes are permanent (or at least relatively long-lasting) products that you also have displayed for everyone to see as you walk around in public.
While the summation of your eating habits over time is a permanent (or at least relatively long-lasting) thing too, each individual instance of you purchasing and eating food is a lot more transient / limited in scope to just an experience you're buying that'll last a few minutes before you forget all about it.

Until quite recently most women used men's razors for their legs and armpits just fine.
Gillette found out about this and naturally made a pink girly version so they could make money off the fact that people are idiots.
Many women still use single-use razors and more and more are moving back to safety razors because it's so much cheaper and works very nicely.
Women do shave a larger surface, but since that surface is not flat they don't really benefit from larger blades.

It's like you're all willfully ignorant.

Women are socialized to be pretty, feminine, smell like flowers etc etc since that's the "ideal beauty"

So obviously they are going to gravitate towards the pink/flowery products in the aisle and not even look at the prices for men's items. Companies take advantage of this. Since this has been brought to the attention of mainstream media, a lot of women (including my girlfriend) have made the switch to generic or mens products. I believe commercials like this are beneficial in bringing to light the stupidity of a "pink tax" so that more women can make the conscious decision not to spend an extra dollar for a pink box.

And think about it this way, if things were reversed, wouldn't you feel strange having to shave with pic related everyday? Or at the very least, you wouldn't naturally gravitate towards it in a supermarket.

What exactly are you trying to say here? If anything, you're proving my point. Human evolution has lead to women wanting to appeal to men, thus seeking out femininely marketed products. The problem is that these items are priced much higher than the one that is marketed to men. Anyways, you have to be 18 or older to post on 4chan bud.

Untrue. Just because it is subconscious does not mean it isn't there.

>It's not like most of us have clothes or hygiene products with a bunch of "masculine" shit plastered all over it
You don't buy men's cut clothing? And again, most of the marketing is subconscious. Men's products tend to have darker colors, be either blue or red, square fonts, different scent names, etc etc

>> No.10978694

I have the same clothes in my 30s that I originally acquired in my early 20s, and it's just a few pairs of regular / unfitted blue jeans and some shirts that anyone could wear with no designs on them and no special fitting there either.
>Men's products tend to have darker colors, be either blue or red, square fonts, different scent names, etc etc
Gray products with no patterns aren't "male" specific.
It's seriously not a reversible situation for most of these cases. Women's products are blatantly trying to be feminine in loud and obvious ways. It's really women's products vs. normal products, not women's products vs. men's products, for the most part (yes, you can find some male specific branding, but that's the exception not the rule).

>> No.10978707

>>10978666
Also another reason why it's not reversible: I wear some minimalist clothes (underwear, shirt, pants socks, and shoes) because that's the minimum of what I need to be able to show up at work and not have people thinking I'm homeless and/or calling the cops on me.
Women wear way more than the minimum required most of the time, not because they need to but because they actively want to do some weird kind of expressive behavior thing where they try to promote an image / style for themselves.

Because women are the ones doing something special with their products, not men. You're acting like it's two different opposing special things when it's really just normal things vs. feminine things.
You're being intentionally obtuse if you don't recognize a man dressing up like a woman would be a lot more noticeable as unusual than a woman dressing up "like a man" (which really just means dressing up in normal casual clothes without drawing attention to themselves with feminine accessories).
Men and women aren't opposites like up and down or black and white. Women are smaller, softer versions of men with less hair, less physical strength, higher pitched voices, and everything else that comes with the burden of pregnancy / menstrual cycles.
The forced idea of "opposites" here is part of this retarded just-world fallacy people have where they assume everything tends to be fair and equal, so women aren't less than men, they're just equal and opposite in lots of mysterious and convoluted ways that fall apart when you try to examine them.

Black, white, and gray are the definition of neutral colors. They don't say anything, they aren't even really colors at all.
If those things are more associated with men it's because men are more OK with not making a spectacle out of their appearance, not because those things actually have any "masculine" characteristics.
Women could try not making a spectacle out of their appearance too.

Please read what you wrote here several times before attempting to post again. People do not inherently gravitate to pink or blue. Actually, in the early 1900's, pink was considered a men's color and blue was feminine.

>> No.10978784

Yeah, that's a good point.
Why the fuck would a marketer want to try to force people to start liking things they don't already like when they could just market to what they do already like?

Because women are stupid enough to pay more for it.
If it's truly a reversible situation like you're claiming than the free market would result in vendors charging men an equally higher rate for everything you're claiming is "male specific" (which of course mostly isn't "male specific" at all and just neutral instead, but there you go).

Just as you probably do not look at the women's aisle for certain products, women do not typically look at the men's aisle. People are not stupid for minimizing their time spent shopping.
Now that the issue is being brought to light, women are making the switch to generic or even men's products in response.

The reason it's a baseless myth is because everyone went overboard in trying to extrapolate from a couple of anecdotal examples instead of looking at the actual evidence for color association trends.
If you read what was written in those couple of anecdotal examples you'll also see they actually refer to blue as a male color and pink as a female color being the then current norm when discussing how they're recommending the opposite i.e. They were just a couple of contrarian articles, not evidence of a reversed color association scheme in the past.
>Now that the issue is being brought to light, women are making the switch to generic or even men's products in response.
How did this "issue" end up a women specific thing in the first place if men and women are interchangeable opposites and are both marketed to and women haven't done anything different from men in their buying behavior?
I think you need to pick one or the other here. Either women were treated differently from men because they actually behave differently and men wouldn't net marketers more money if they tried the same thing on them, or women don't behave differently from men and both just follow their social influences, in which case it'd make no sense why women would be stiffed with higher prices but not men.

Except that the suits you buy at stores are incredibly comfortable, unlike the ones you buy at pret-a-porter stores. In fact, a good way to tell if somebody is not particularly wealthy is have them complain that suits in general is uncomfortable to wear: not only a tailor-made suit will last you for a long time (meaning that, once you buy one, you can wear it up to your funeral and sill look good), they are MEANT to adjust better at your changes of bulk than ready-made suits.

Pic related, first off, disinfo-spreading hooknose.

See, I knew you were some half-a-brain-only lolbertarian. Can smell you delusional fantasy lovers anywhere.

Where to begin? Well for starters, the tax you pay is part of your duty to the state and your fellow people. If you don't pull your weight towards maintenance of the state, but use the assets of the state (which we both know you do since you are utilizing Internet that is only available due to the state,) then you are stealing. That is pretty cut and dry.

The government is a central authority that helps keep order in a society. There never has been and never will be evidence of a stateless society, because such a society would be anarchy, of course, and a disaster for everyone. Even the rich and "powerful" would have to fear that at any moment, one of their henchmen could decide to turncoat and kill them. I mean, why not? There are no laws. No consequences to your actions.

Your retarded argument (which hilariously features the meme "muh roads") is easily beatable with two points: one, only like five cents of my taxes each month goes specifically towards military budget (I live in Canada, not the US... your military budget is insane, but then again you need to maintain that huge army,) and two, maintaining a military is essential to protecting a nation's sovereignty. By no means is a military expenditure a bad thing.

He's right. Men have stopped taking charge of relationships and let women walk all over them to the point where sex becomes a bargaining chip even though sex is not worth that much at all.

I don't think bombing the Middle East has helped maintain the peace in the US. If that's what they really wanted they should have posted those troops on the Southern border.
I apologise for getting the unit cost of the Javelin wrong; my source was the wikipedia article which is teased in your screenshot.
I don't know why you assume that I am American or why you think your Canadian (lol) taxes would apply in an argument against taxes in the US.
I'm well aware that not all taxes go to Javelin missiles specifically. I used that as an example of taxpayer money, which belongs to the taxpayers, NOT the Government, being wasted on shit the taxpayers will never benefit from.

But let's use your numbers; how large a portion of one missile, at 100k dollars each, did your taxes for all of 2017 pay for?
How many taxpayers like you does it take to support these expenses?

And yes, I very deliberately bring up the roads because that's the classic "argument" against Libertarianism. I use the scare quotes because the roads are poorly maintained by your beloved State despite the taxes, and we've already seen with the RAILroads that private enterprise can build "public" transportation.

A great many of them aren't actually the same product. Men's razors and women's razors are sharpened to different degrees and angle differently because they're intended for different parts of the body, and often have different lifespans before they need replacing. Women's deodorant and skin care products usually have WAY more ingredients than men's do, because your skin is affected by your hormone balance and so men and women tend to have different traits to their skin.

If you're paying a different price because it's actually a different product, it's not discrimination.

If you're paying a different price because it's from a different company, that's not discrimination.

If you're actually paying a different price just because it's pink, then buy the non-pink one you idiot. Nobody's making you buy the pink one.

This hits women especially hard because men can get away with having beards but women with armpit and leg hair is considered absolutely disgusting.

>if hard bristle brushes damaged teeth, why do dentists use LITERAL pneumatic air tools and water jet cutters on your teeth to remove that shit plaque?
Because you don't get that treatment two or three times a day, genius.
Soft brushes should really only be used by children or people with some kind of condition. A medium brush works fine for most people.
If you want a brush that actually scrubs plaque off your teeth once it's formed you can try one of those BBQ ones with the metal bristles, because a hard toothbrush isn't going to do that either.
Also, I don't know what your dentist uses for cleaning teeth but mine uses a "brush" made of rubber. No bristles at all.

in Japan they have women parking spaces with pink lines. they're extra wide and men aren't allowed to use them.
they also have female-specific food that's supposed to be less-bad for you. not sure if it costs more, but it should, because now your storage space is being used by low-calorie and fat free garbage, so you hold less regular food everyone normally orders.

Mens clothes are more expensive than womens clothes. its because men buy less of them so economies of scale fuck us. We never go around bitching about sexism or whatever

Corporations aren't sexiest. they aren't charging women more for fucking razors because they don't respect them or hate them. What kind of business decision is that? It all just boils down to them charging what they know their customers will pay.

>that doesn't justify a higher price for female-marketed goods

nigger the prices of goods and services aren't determined by what you (or anybody else) consider "justified"

sellers charge as much as they can, buyers pay as little as they can.

women paying extra for the same products maybe tells us something about men being more frugal and women being more wasteful when it comes to money, that's the end of it.

people blaming marketing for their spending behavior are some of the most pathetic retards on the planet. it's like fatties blaming mcdonalds for their obesity, or drunks blaming the jack daniels company for their alcohol addiction. fucking disgusting degenerate faggots.

Those are Chinese. Japs can park just fine and the vast majority of cars are reverse-parked in Japan.
