1	Storm over "pink tax": Women demand specialty items just for them, the items cost more because they are specialty, feminists shriek about discrimination ... You're being a bit silly now because people who are shelving are shelving products in general, not gendered ones, and if they weren't divided by gender they would be divided in a different way by necessity. The stores wouldn't magically be smaller if we got rid of these things, and they'd still be stacking shelves with product of some kind. Further, often shampoos (in stores I use) don't divide up shampoos, I buy mine and my boyfriend's in the same section when I get generic and he gets the high…	/r/MensRights	06/02/16 02:26 AM

And people do, because you pay for those features as you would expect to, just as you'd pay for a computer that had a better graphics card or more RAM, you'll pay more for a shampoo with better scent and more moisture. My point is that it doesn't make people entitled or imply they want to feel special when they buy those products with features they need, and it's definitely not necessarily a woman thing (except that women tend to have longer/more hair), which is why I used my house as an example…	/r/MensRights	05/02/16 05:43 PM
1	Storm over "pink tax": Women demand specialty items just for them, the items cost more because they are specialty, feminists shriek about discrimination ... Normally in store, you'll find the products segregated into men's and women's razors, so it isn't necessary to label them on the packet. On the website, boots haven't segregated them so it is labelled men's and women's, respectively. Also, as I've said elsewhere in this thread, that if the cost is due to features, they should then sell the product based on them (like you would any non-gendered item).	/r/MensRights	05/02/16 05:28 PM

Then perhaps they should be marketed to make that difference clear. Gilette razor [name] and Gilette razor [name] extra moisturising etc. I can believe that the extra lubricating strip is better for legs and thus more suited to women but that isn't mentioned and it looks like you're just paying for the label of women's razor.	/r/MensRights	04/02/16 04:03 PM
1	Storm over "pink tax": Women demand specialty items just for them, the items cost more because they are specialty, feminists shriek about discrimination ... The perception (caused by marketing) means they don't have a choice. The higher marketing may put prices up but women don't really have a choice in paying it due to the perception it produces. It's a cyclic relationship.	/r/MensRights	04/02/16 01:19 PM

No, there's a want to control their bodies, which means demanding the government stops telling them they can't have abortions and giving easier access to birth control. It's all about bodily control and the two don't oppose each other.	/r/MensRights	04/02/16 10:10 AM
1	Storm over "pink tax": Women demand specialty items just for them, the items cost more because they are specialty, feminists shriek about discrimination ... I do see your point about unecessarily segregating products but it does come down to features and need. Different shampoos do have different compositions which might be more moisturising, prevent hairloss, straighten/curl etc. These differences obviously cost more than generic products so are worth it if you need them. In my house, my boyfriend has afro-carribean hair that breaks easily, he needs moisturising shampoo. I sometimes use a straightening one but often go with generic because, as you …	/r/MensRights	04/02/16 10:08 AM
1	Storm over "pink tax": Women demand specialty items just for them, the items cost more because they are specialty, feminists shriek about discrimination ... To be fair, it's like that with a lot of products, the marketing is hinted at in the name e.g. "max shave" vs. "smooth care" . However, boots do sell women's and men's razors that are distinguished and you can see a price difference. Men's razor, 5 blades, flex-ball technology £6 http://www.boots.com/en/Gillette-Fusion-ProShield-Flexball-Mens-Razor_1790375/ Women's razor, 5 blades, flex-ball technology £11.99 http://www.boots.com/en/Gillette-Venus-Swirl-Flexiball-Womens-Razor_1793065/ It's almos…	/r/MensRights	04/02/16 10:01 AM
1	Storm over "pink tax": Women demand specialty items just for them, the items cost more because they are specialty, feminists shriek about discrimination ... Well possibly but if you have, for example, women's razors and men's razors (you don't really seem to get generic ones often where I am) then you can understand why people would buy according to their gender. They may rightfully assume that men's razors are designed for facial hair and women's for legs/underarms. So they don't seem to have a choice in which they buy, and if the price is set by the manufacturer/distributor it isn't so much willing to pay but having to pay.	/r/MensRights	04/02/16 09:50 AM
2	Storm over "pink tax": Women demand specialty items just for them, the items cost more because they are specialty, feminists shriek about discrimination ... But the other stuff is also specifically labelled for men... So what's the difference? There may be a difference in production rates and thus costs but I would argue that the production rates would be higher for women's items, especially haircare products (though this may be changing), so they should be less, unless the base production cost is higher due to their magic feminine property, but then perhaps market it as cream with magic feminine property ($10) vs. cream ($7).	/r/MensRights	04/02/16 02:21 AM

1	A MRA/MGTOW/Redpill meetup is being advertised as meetup to legalize rape in my country lol Yeah you can't say that feminists are blaming all men when they insist on consent lessons and then say that they should be wary of spending time alone with all men in case of rape.	/r/TheRedPill	04/02/16 01:16 AM
