Women pay more for products. Men pay more for clothing.
Do men really pay more for clothes?
Yea, seriously. Shirts, sneakers, jeans, socks…etc. Ask your male friends how much they pay for a pair of descent jeans. It’ll blow your mind.
At least their pants have fucking pockets tho
“Men pay more for clothing.”

Are you sure?

ABSOLUTELY SURE??
BECAUSE I’M NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCED

THAT MEN HAVE IT HARDER

OH AND SHOULD I BRING UP PANTIES WHILE I’M AT IT? I am a firm believer of the “fuck you, I’ll wear briefs that don’t give me a wedgie, I don’t care if they’re not sexy” policy, but a lot of women are expected to wear panties and thongs because GASP WOMEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL AT ALL TIMES. Here’s a screenshot of some Victoria’s secret panties!
Wow. It’s almost as if there’s a pattern here.
Women are expected to buy more clothing, and literally all of it is more expensive, so fuck all of you.
*HAMMERS THE REBLOG BUTTON*
Fucking infuriating. And, NO ONE pays more for clothes than fat women. Tired of it.
Have you ever stepped on a Torrid? $50-$80 for a blouse.
^^^^^
Yup it totally gets more costly when you’re not model thin.
Woah
I’m here to confirm the fat girl comment…. decent fitting, CUTE plus size shit is just expensive as fuck.
As a trans person who has shopped for both mens and womens clothes, I can confirm that womens clothes are A LOT more expensive than mens - and women are expected to buy more as well. I don’t mean that women are expected to love shopping and want loads of outfits (although that expectation certainly contributes), I mean that womens shirts are sheer and they are expected to wear stuff underneath them, while mens shirts are opaque. Womens tops are flimsy so they have to wear cardigans or jumpers, mens tops are thicker and they can get away without. Womens clothes don’t have pockets so they’re forced to buy bags to carry stuff.
There is only one single exception to this that I can found. And that is underwear. I don’t mean lingerie like the Victoria’s Secret stuff above, I mean basic knickers vs basic boxers. A multipack of 7 knickers from Primark costs about £4. A multipack of 3 boxers from Primark costs £7. That is literally the only exception that I’ve found.
Of course, considering that a lot of women also wear bras that tiny concession ceases to be a factor once you add in the cost of a bra. Even a basic Primark one costs about £6 for one. That basic bras aren’t supportive, comfortable, long lasting, or anything else you need from a bra.
So yeah, men might pay a lot for their clothes. But women pay a lot more.
If you’re skeptical about the Pink Tax, you can do your own test at a local store. That’s literally what I did here, complete with photographic evidence of the pricing:
Damn this “Winter mermaid” furisode by Iroca is impressive!
Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!! Iroca has also
tailored
a version for a gentleman <3
It so great to see men kimono fashion getting wilder pattern and color wise! Those kind of very showy kimono are usually mostly seen worn by performer or rikishi (sumo wrestlers, see examples below) but underground fashion is making a nice come back :)
to me the funniest line in spider verse that certainly wasn’t meant to be funny was when peter was like “my uncle ben died” and noir was like “my uncle benjamin died” like he had to say it like that he couldn’t just say mine too
Noir’s “In my dimension it’s 1933” line is funny to me for reasons I can’t explain. A lot of Noir dialogue is meant to be goofy but even the lines that aren’t are funny somehow
