This theory is dumb. If this was the case then women would just buy the blue razors and pink razors would not sell and companies would lose money. Every investigative journalist I've seen has disproven this. The items they show with different prices are usually a different product like a a shampoo meant for different types of hair. They also don't take into account how much the different sexes use the products. For example men typically need to wash their hair more because their hair tends to get greasier faster. Do men shave their beards more than women shave their legs and armpits? Men's facial hair is typically thicker and causes more wear on the razors. This happens for both sexes here and there. But any corporation wouldn't just give men a free discount. They would charge every penny they can get
I once bought a pair of winter boots that had the exact same model for men, women, and children. I had the pair in my hands from the woman’s section when the store manager showed me something I certainly didn’t expect. The boots in my hand were marked $75. THE SAME BOOTS were $55 in the men’s department and $35 in the kids section. Since I only wear a lady’s size 7, I easily fit into a boys size 5.5. That was when I started noticing the ‘gender tax’ as I call it, and it is EVERYWHERE.

They didn't factor in the cost of ruined bedsheets, mattresses and anything else where a sleeping woman wakes up in a pool of blood after sleeping through her alarm. Oh yeah, and all the clothes that get stained when she's out and can't get to a totally private place to deal with it. None of these devices are foolproof. The blood does what it wants.

Didnt even talk about ruined underwear, bed sheets, or pajamas. Years ago started using Depends for night time protection during heavy flow days it saves so much in laundry costs too.

Nothing wrong with getting bras and panties at meijer/Walmart. The quality has gone up a lot lately. Part 2 should include razors, waxing, nair, laser hair removal, makeup (even just the basics), eyebrow appointments, manis and pedis
pants (underpants i'm not american) cuz we always have to replace them from either period stains or discharge. Oh another one is panty liners for ALL THE TIME if u get a lot of discharge. also items like deodrant (an example) which is also sold to men are always more expensive for women for no reason. It's called the pink tax
First step: Declassify feminine hygiene products as "Luxury Items" and reclassify them as necessities to remove the stupid added tax on them. I know some countries have done this, but most "First World" Countries are still yet to do so.
Can we also talk about how much things cost that both women and men use, but women pay more? Women's deodorant, shampoo, razors -- all more expensive that men's, just because they're pink. And often not even as good of quality.
Theres actually a legit reason for that. Its because women make it a point to take care of themselves more than men, so women are the targeted consumer, which is why most commercials relate to them. Hair products, facial, feminine care, etc etc. lol
@@4WaveRider4 That's cuz society pressures women to look conventially attractive which requires makeup, hair products etc. When women don't look conventially attractive they generally have a more difficult time cuz of less job opprtuinities, being more judged and generally receiving bias from others cuz of their appearance so it's a lose-lose situation, you either spend more money on these products that are overtaxed just cuz of being a woman or don't and get less chances to earn money.
I have been a woman at a mans house when I unexpectedly started my period. He had a little box of pads/tampons, he had normal and night for both, so 4 (FOUR!!!) options. I have never been more relieved
A friend if mine used to do this too when he was single. Once he told me that when there're tampons and pads for every girl in the bathroom the girlfriends of hid friends stood longer at Partys so he could have more fun with his friends and the girls could feel comfortable. He also had no problem to make a hot water bottle for a girl so she has less cramps.
"Pads/tampons and medical stuffs are 5-10x cheaper here.": While that's great and all, it still doesn't erease the fact that women are being financially punished for siply being female. There should be zero taxes on products that are essential to life.
I'll never understand the huge hairdo price gap. Like, I wear my hair the exact same way as my male colleague, yet I pay 130 for my cut while he pays 70. No hairdye, no fancy treatments, just a simple wash and cut. Why the 50 difference, make it make sense.
I added up the cost of each thing, assuming the following: You get haircuts maybe 3-4 times a year, but you do it basically all your life. (Sometimes you go with cheap haircuts, sometimes with spendy cuts + color + perm or straightening, sometimes corrective measures from what the previous hair person did.) You menstruate for roughly 40 years, on average. You have sex while fertile for, on average, 30 years or so. You wear bras for all but about the first ten years of life. You wear shapewear, if you feel you must, for maybe 50 years. Skin care can be extremely cheap, or extremely expensive, so I took an average. Birth control on a regular basis for those who require it, plus the Plan B for post-assault purposes (dudes: try to remember that just because a person is pregnant doesn't mean THEY made any decisions at all). Adding up all those averages, I got to about $200,000 over a lifetime. Where I live, that's barely a downpayment on a starter home, but in some places I could buy a really nice house on 100 acres of land for that price. Straight men: Consider that, next time you think someone owes you sex because you bought dinner and a movie.
In case some women out there never thought off it - use a men's safety razor for shaving. The blades cost like 0.05$ a piece, have two sides to use and you will not cut yourself. It's a men's product tho, so you can only choose between the colours stainless steel, carbon, fighter jet and epic death by fist fighting a pack of lions.
@@07Flash11MRC Ofcourse it doesn't. Also, I never stated, that my tip will change the way women get treated by society. Still, using these razors saves you alot of money and they shave better, as you can use a fresh blade every week or so.
That one dude has had a whole lotta experience in all of this. Lol These guys are actually trying fairly hard to understand things, which I commend them for. People raised them right.
As a guy, I agree. Being price-gouged just because one is born female is not anywhere near okay. Nobody chooses to be born a certain s€x, gender, race or whatever so in my mind this should be considered discrimination.
8:32… Most hair salons/barber shops really do charge based on gender and not the actual hairstyle. I’m a woman who had short hair for many years, one of the typical $15 men’s hairstyles they’d advertised on posters at Supercuts, but every month or so when I’d go in for a trim they would always charge me the price of a woman’s haircut (which was around $50). It pissed me off, because while I could understand my first haircut costing that much as I had more hair then, it didn’t make any sense for them to charge me so much more than the male customers I’d sit next to who got the same cut for $15. I didn’t get any extra treatment, just a simple trim up with a buzzer on the sides and an inch off the top, in total taking the hairstylist 10 minutes or less. I brought it up one day while the cashier ringed me up and politely asked why I got charged for a “women’s haircut” when I actually got the men’s listed cut. The cashier kinda stumbled with a response for a bit, then said “I actually don’t know… let me ask the stylist.” After she asked, she came back and ringed me up for the men’s haircut instead. 🫤
Once when i was 15, my Dad said: If a man doesn't understand how your tubing works, dont let him put his tube in you. He needs to pass plumber school first. 😂😂😂
My family owned a hair salon since before I was born so thankfully my uncles will do my hair for free but when I was younger I got my hair dyed light brown and blonde highlights on my super long (naturally dark) hair and my uncle spent hours doing it. I wanted to pay him because he was having health issues so I asked my aunt what it would cost and boy I could never afford that in my life😅 I paid him like $270 but that wasn’t even near what it would cost a regular client LOL also I live in Houston tx so not really an expensive city
8:23 What’s crazy is, that’s just for women with straight hair. Women with super curly hair types (more specifically black women) have to pay extra to get our hair done. For us black women to even get our hair braided can cost between 300-900 dollars depending on the style you get.
That one man who keeps tampons at his place is a winner in my book. A suggestion to him though keep some pads too because some women can’t use tampons or don’t like them.
The measurements on the dova cup are to keep track of your flow. We know that if you fill a tampon in less than an hour it could mean something is wrong and you should see a doctor, but diva cups can hold a lot more than tampons, so the measurements are basically to make sure youre not bleeding too much..
They should include things like socks. No joke I price checked women's socks against men and for the same size, same brand, same number of pairs of socks, men's socks were cheaper by about $3-$5. Then there's also shirts, pants, and swimwear, and shoes.
When I was 12, I went to visit my older brother at his house and I'd leaked through my trousers because my period was very heavy so he gave me a pair of his shorts and told me there were pads in the bathroom I could use. I asked him why he had them seeing as his girlfriend at the time used tampons, and he said it was for any female friend or visitor that came by and got their period. It's nice to know he's not the only guy who does this!
Let’s see… $20 - $50 a month during period (This includes pads, tampons, pain relievers, heating pads, food cravings, etc) $100 loss if I have to miss a day of work. So I’m gonna round to $600 a year. $12 underwear x 12 a year = $144 $30-$50 bras & sports bras x 3-6 a year = $200 (I only buy undergarments on sale and when I need them so I know I’m going light on these prices) $30 shapewear x 3 a year = $90 Hair cuts & products = $300 a year Skin care & makeup = $400 a year Salons, nails, waxing, maintenance = $300 a year (Not gonna include birth & contraceptives bc they don’t apply to me & I don’t know costs) For me, for the stuff I listed, Totals $2,034… Now there are women who spend less (like my mother) and women who spend much much more bc they live in places where prices are MUCH higher… but I go very cheap on many things and still pay over $2000 a year just on maintenance
FIGHT THE "LUXURY TAX" LADIES! YES... THESE things like tampons and pads and other hygiene products get taxed AS LUXURY ITEMS. Join the fight again their inclusion as being luxury tax items!!!
Nope, when I cut out luxury spending, I just bleed all over the bus seats. Men are impressed by my frugality every time they see red running down my pants. They say that scrubbing their couch cushions is a small price to pay to keep my unnecessary spending in check. Absolutely something you can do without, and everyone around you will agree!
I used the measurement lines on my Diva cup to justify needing medical intervention for my needs. It’s objective data that can be tracked. This is one way to combat medical gaslighting.
17:16 As someone working in the pharmacy where I sell these.... it's always nice whenever a man even comes along with the woman. And even nicer when they just "shove" her aside and pay for it. Or for the morning after pill. But it's very rare. Very rare. Thankfully one thing is more rare: Him knowing more about her cycle than she does. Only had that once, and she was kinda freaking out and tried to stay cool. Poor thing was so concerned that I would judge her. But seeing as English was both our second language...and it was my first time having this conversation in English... I was a bit stiff.😅 However we got along great and I learned a bit more. And thankfully she wasn't in need to see a doctor. Cos they were on vacation....1000km from home.
If you get billie razors, they are made for women and don't have the pink tax and you can get different "girly" colors. Mine is orange, pink, and turquoise. Highly recommend them.
I’m a Latina woman who has THICC hair and a LOT of it. A haircut for me, without dying or anything, is already around $100. I had it dyed with highlights and it went up to $310 because I have so much hair so they need to use more product. My sister has a lot of hair too, but thinner, so her haircut and dye job would only be about $230. But even so, it’s still pricey…
How about women's razors being more expensive, contraceptive pills, makeup, and the fact that in some countries health insurance is more expensive for women because we might get pregnant...
@@noelleabra147 the point is flying over ur head. the point is that they shouldn't have to not buy them because they're expensive. why should they have to buy men's razors, why r they advertised as 'men's' and 'women's' when they're the same thing. why r things labeled as 'women's' more expensive. that's the point. not having sex shouldn't be the solution. not wearing makeup shouldn't be the solution.
The measurements are to help keep track of dysmenorrhoea, like you're bleeding excessively or far too little. You shouldn't be bleeding more than 35mls-80mls per period (not per day!). 80mls-200mls is medically classed as heavy menstrual bleeding and should be looked into. More than 200mls and you're getting into emergency territory
Ok, but it makes me mad that a woman getting the mens cut costs a mens cut, but a man getting a womans cut is still the mens price. Like, the way every salon ive asked has explained it, womans hair takes more time and effort, thats why it cost more. So if a dude and a lady get the exact same womans cut, why would one be cheaper?
What we Women go through is nothing compared to that and also in my opinion they were making more fun of it then understanding also they get paid to do so.
Measurements on a diva cup: When you have a heavy flow and have to seek treatment, the very first thing you are asked is "how much." The answer can be maxi pads an hour or a tampon every 15 minutes. If you're a diva cup user, the ml on it helps you answer these questions and gauge if you're bleeding to much.
This just shows that all feminine hygiene should be FREE or paid for by healthcare providers yet we get equal or less pay than men. And they call that equality. Also 19:49 not everyone is dating.
So many of us buy and guide our dudes in what to buy for their products. Make no mistake, men's products are geared for women to buy. 😂😂😂 It's so true, cause I'm guilty of totally controlling scents and ingredients in all our products. 😂
I bet there would be way less products and way less money that they spend. Like razors for shaving their beards and the shaving cream…. And that’s literally it, but I’m not a boy so idk
What pisses me off is paying a woman's haircut price when I have really short hair. Like I could disguise myself as a man going to the hairdresser and I'd pay so much less ! When will they charge for hair length not gender, seriously
The crazy part is that women are expected to pay for all of this extra stuff to look good and cis women have to buy stuff to deal with stuff our bodies just do.Then we still get paid less on average just making it that much worse. If you get a professional job its even worse. To even attend an interview we need to buy hair products and tools, makeup,nail products or get our nails done at the salon, possibly a brow wax or tweeze unless you can do your own eyebrows and still have to have professional looking clothing like men.
They should have reviewed how many bras a woman goes through in her lifetime or how long they typically last. And going into maternity wear (bras, shirts, etc ) would have been eye-opening.

Oh another one is panty liners for ALL THE TIME if u get a lot of discharge. also items like deodrant (an example) which is also sold to men are always more expensive for women for no reason. It's called the pink tax
Yea I wish lol
First step:
Declassify feminine hygiene products as "Luxury Items" and reclassify them as necessities to remove the stupid added tax on them.
I know some countries have done this, but most "First World" Countries are still yet to do so.
Sanitary products are free for those who need them in Scotland. It can be done.
@@lrob06yeah, when your country doesn't hate women, you actually make policies that serve them too.
Can we also talk about how much things cost that both women and men use, but women pay more? Women's deodorant, shampoo, razors -- all more expensive that men's, just because they're pink. And often not even as good of quality.
Theres actually a legit reason for that. Its because women make it a point to take care of themselves more than men, so women are the targeted consumer, which is why most commercials relate to them. Hair products, facial, feminine care, etc etc. lol
Honestly for products that work the same, I've started getting the men's version to save money. It's saved me a lot by now. 😅
@@4WaveRider4 That's cuz society pressures women to look conventially attractive which requires makeup, hair products etc. When women don't look conventially attractive they generally have a more difficult time cuz of less job opprtuinities, being more judged and generally receiving bias from others cuz of their appearance so it's a lose-lose situation, you either spend more money on these products that are overtaxed just cuz of being a woman or don't and get less chances to earn money.
I have been a woman at a mans house when I unexpectedly started my period.
He had a little box of pads/tampons, he had normal and night for both, so 4 (FOUR!!!) options.
I have never been more relieved
It’s hilarious the absolute confusion the people show when confronted with these things!
Fr it's so easy using these things
5:06 “I love women what can i say” LMAO I love jackson sm
The man who said he buys tampons to keep at his apartment for women when they come over… *Now that’s a REAL MAN.* 👏🏻
A friend if mine used to do this too when he was single. Once he told me that when there're tampons and pads for every girl in the bathroom the girlfriends of hid friends stood longer at Partys so he could have more fun with his friends and the girls could feel comfortable. He also had no problem to make a hot water bottle for a girl so she has less cramps.
I love how these guys are so down to earth in willing to understand the woman's side much respect thanks guys
Love how that guy's response was "I just love women. What can I say?"
As a European I have to say that... America is fking expensive. Pads/tampons and medical stuffs are 5-10x cheaper here.
"Pads/tampons and medical stuffs are 5-10x cheaper here.": While that's great and all, it still doesn't erease the fact that women are being financially punished for siply being female. There should be zero taxes on products that are essential to life.
@@07Flash11MRC It's not essential. It's just convinient.
Benison and Jaxon are great together, more of them paired please!
💯
I'll never understand the huge hairdo price gap. Like, I wear my hair the exact same way as my male colleague, yet I pay 130 for my cut while he pays 70. No hairdye, no fancy treatments, just a simple wash and cut. Why the 50 difference, make it make sense.
Sexism.
Does he go to a barber rather than a hair stylist? If so, you could also go to a barber's 😊
I've given up and cut my own hair as the cost is so high!
go to a barber then. im guessing you go to a hair stylist/dresser.
I am incredibly impressed by how much these boys know. These are some well adjusted boys.
I’m happy all of them collectively agreed being a woman is hard…
I added up the cost of each thing, assuming the following:
You get haircuts maybe 3-4 times a year, but you do it basically all your life.
(Sometimes you go with cheap haircuts, sometimes with spendy cuts + color + perm or straightening, sometimes corrective measures from what the previous hair person did.)
You menstruate for roughly 40 years, on average.
You have sex while fertile for, on average, 30 years or so.
You wear bras for all but about the first ten years of life.
You wear shapewear, if you feel you must, for maybe 50 years.
Skin care can be extremely cheap, or extremely expensive, so I took an average.
Birth control on a regular basis for those who require it, plus the Plan B for post-assault purposes (dudes: try to remember that just because a person is pregnant doesn't mean THEY made any decisions at all).
Adding up all those averages, I got to about $200,000 over a lifetime.
Where I live, that's barely a downpayment on a starter home, but in some places I could buy a really nice house on 100 acres of land for that price.
Straight men: Consider that, next time you think someone owes you sex because you bought dinner and a movie.
I've spent more on one outfit picked out just for my guy's tastes than my guy has ever spent on dinner.
I was shocked when I saw that this video was posted a year ago and all the comments were like a few hours ago LOL. Algorithm is weird.
In case some women out there never thought off it - use a men's safety razor for shaving. The blades cost like 0.05$ a piece, have two sides to use and you will not cut yourself. It's a men's product tho, so you can only choose between the colours stainless steel, carbon, fighter jet and epic death by fist fighting a pack of lions.
Still doesn't change the fact that women are unnecessarily price-gouged by both the state and the private economy for the exact same products as men.
@@07Flash11MRC Ofcourse it doesn't. Also, I never stated, that my tip will change the way women get treated by society. Still, using these razors saves you alot of money and they shave better, as you can use a fresh blade every week or so.
That one dude has had a whole lotta experience in all of this. Lol
These guys are actually trying fairly hard to understand things, which I commend them for. People raised them right.
I want more of Jaxon and Benison please! They match each others energies so well.
Measurements are for monitoring your blood loss especially if you are a heavy bleeder or are more likely to have anemia
I concur
Feminine hygiene products should be TAX free
Michigan's governor/government signed it into law just a year or so ago 👏👏👏👏....right about the time I hit menopause 😄
They should!!
As a guy, I agree. Being price-gouged just because one is born female is not anywhere near okay. Nobody chooses to be born a certain s€x, gender, race or whatever so in my mind this should be considered discrimination.
8:32… Most hair salons/barber shops really do charge based on gender and not the actual hairstyle. I’m a woman who had short hair for many years, one of the typical $15 men’s hairstyles they’d advertised on posters at Supercuts, but every month or so when I’d go in for a trim they would always charge me the price of a woman’s haircut (which was around $50). It pissed me off, because while I could understand my first haircut costing that much as I had more hair then, it didn’t make any sense for them to charge me so much more than the male customers I’d sit next to who got the same cut for $15. I didn’t get any extra treatment, just a simple trim up with a buzzer on the sides and an inch off the top, in total taking the hairstylist 10 minutes or less. I brought it up one day while the cashier ringed me up and politely asked why I got charged for a “women’s haircut” when I actually got the men’s listed cut. The cashier kinda stumbled with a response for a bit, then said “I actually don’t know… let me ask the stylist.” After she asked, she came back and ringed me up for the men’s haircut instead. 🫤
Once when i was 15, my Dad said: If a man doesn't understand how your tubing works, dont let him put his tube in you. He needs to pass plumber school first. 😂😂😂
Omg 😂
Love it! And if they're afraid of purchasing pads and/or tampons, discard THEM.
😂😂😂😂 you're dad is awesome
your dad is funny 😂 snd he speaks truth 👍🏽👍🏽
What the hell did I just read? XD
That is probably the funniest way to package this important message!
What the hell are those prices, women are getting ripped off in the US?? This all costs me 6 to 10 times less and I live in western Europe??
wish they talked about pads too instead of just tampons and cups
Reusable pads are worth it :P
I go more for pads than tampons
@@daisyhenriquez2867 Me too
@@ScaryGeorgia26 I can never find em. 😢
Right since most women use pads.
The “..and live in the wrong state.” Absolutely hits home for be, as I’m from Texas. 😩
"it's not a shot glass"
"Well... for Dracula, maybe"
No freaking way hahahahahahahahah
$450 ?!?!?!?! For a haircut ???? Listen, as a woman myself ABSOLUTELY NOOOT !!!!
For a cut and highlights, I’d be surprised it could happen
Where does a girl like that get $450 from to waste on a haircut like that? It doesn't look particularly special.
The only time I've paid that much I got a perm and i went to HS the stylist so I tipped him a lot
My family owned a hair salon since before I was born so thankfully my uncles will do my hair for free but when I was younger I got my hair dyed light brown and blonde highlights on my super long (naturally dark) hair and my uncle spent hours doing it. I wanted to pay him because he was having health issues so I asked my aunt what it would cost and boy I could never afford that in my life😅 I paid him like $270 but that wasn’t even near what it would cost a regular client LOL also I live in Houston tx so not really an expensive city
8:23 What’s crazy is, that’s just for women with straight hair. Women with super curly hair types (more specifically black women) have to pay extra to get our hair done. For us black women to even get our hair braided can cost between 300-900 dollars depending on the style you get.
All these men how they state they love women and clearly see we don’t have it easy is just so heart warming
That one man who keeps tampons at his place is a winner in my book. A suggestion to him though keep some pads too because some women can’t use tampons or don’t like them.
The measurements on the dova cup are to keep track of your flow. We know that if you fill a tampon in less than an hour it could mean something is wrong and you should see a doctor, but diva cups can hold a lot more than tampons, so the measurements are basically to make sure youre not bleeding too much..
Lets not forget that not only is there regular sales tax on all those period items . They also have a luxury tax.
No longer a luxury tax in Michigan.
The world is bigger than Michigan
They should include things like socks. No joke I price checked women's socks against men and for the same size, same brand, same number of pairs of socks, men's socks were cheaper by about $3-$5. Then there's also shirts, pants, and swimwear, and shoes.
Aaaannnnddd that's why I shop in both the men and women sections for clothes....
It's the same for all women's clothing. They will be thinner and use less fabric, but be more expensive.
When I was 12, I went to visit my older brother at his house and I'd leaked through my trousers because my period was very heavy so he gave me a pair of his shorts and told me there were pads in the bathroom I could use. I asked him why he had them seeing as his girlfriend at the time used tampons, and he said it was for any female friend or visitor that came by and got their period.
It's nice to know he's not the only guy who does this!
The guy who keeps tampons for others is ridiculously attractive, it's true.
mad respect for the guy who keeps tampons in his apartment for any female visitors tbh
So hard to accept the fact that Jaxson is old enough to take ladies bras off. Lmao 🤣 I've been watching since he was just a young lad
You should let them read the birth control side effects 😂😂😂
Hold on did we all get recommended this at the same time?
Looks like itlol
Idk.
absolutely hahaha
Let’s see…
$20 - $50 a month during period
(This includes pads, tampons, pain relievers, heating pads, food cravings, etc)
$100 loss if I have to miss a day of work.
So I’m gonna round to $600 a year.
$12 underwear x 12 a year = $144
$30-$50 bras & sports bras x 3-6 a year = $200 (I only buy undergarments on sale and when I need them so I know I’m going light on these prices)
$30 shapewear x 3 a year = $90
Hair cuts & products = $300 a year
Skin care & makeup = $400 a year
Salons, nails, waxing, maintenance = $300 a year
(Not gonna include birth & contraceptives bc they don’t apply to me & I don’t know costs)
For me, for the stuff I listed,
Totals $2,034…
Now there are women who spend less (like my mother) and women who spend much much more bc they live in places where prices are MUCH higher… but I go very cheap on many things and still pay over $2000 a year just on maintenance
Exactly
And all of this with a lower income...
Our society is fucked up.
Now talk about how many pairs of underwear we ruin (and have to replace) in our lifetimes.
FIGHT THE "LUXURY TAX" LADIES! YES... THESE things like tampons and pads and other hygiene products get taxed AS LUXURY ITEMS. Join the fight again their inclusion as being luxury tax items!!!
Nope, when I cut out luxury spending, I just bleed all over the bus seats. Men are impressed by my frugality every time they see red running down my pants. They say that scrubbing their couch cushions is a small price to pay to keep my unnecessary spending in check. Absolutely something you can do without, and everyone around you will agree!
I used the measurement lines on my Diva cup to justify needing medical intervention for my needs. It’s objective data that can be tracked. This is one way to combat medical gaslighting.
5:45 idk why i'm laughing so much, but the way he said "oooff affordable diva cuup!" KILLED ME! hfkjdhgjk
“$18 000 in a lifetime”
That one dude “👁👄👁…that is an investment😔”
I love these reactions 😂😂😂
3:10 "should we try this?"
"with what?!" 😂😂😂
17:16 As someone working in the pharmacy where I sell these.... it's always nice whenever a man even comes along with the woman. And even nicer when they just "shove" her aside and pay for it. Or for the morning after pill. But it's very rare. Very rare.
Thankfully one thing is more rare: Him knowing more about her cycle than she does. Only had that once, and she was kinda freaking out and tried to stay cool. Poor thing was so concerned that I would judge her. But seeing as English was both our second language...and it was my first time having this conversation in English... I was a bit stiff.😅 However we got along great and I learned a bit more. And thankfully she wasn't in need to see a doctor. Cos they were on vacation....1000km from home.
They didn't even get into 'pink tax' items. Razors, vitamins, shampoo, everything geared towards women just cost more.
Yeah, because more money is spent on marketing
Thats why I buy the mens caffeine shampoo and not the womans. I don't care if I go around smelling of man. 😂
If you get billie razors, they are made for women and don't have the pink tax and you can get different "girly" colors. Mine is orange, pink, and turquoise. Highly recommend them.
10:49 “I’m so used to taking them off that i’m not used to feeling it”
SIR THAT WAS SMOOOOOTH 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Should've shown the "pink tax" and had them guess the female item's price compared to what they are used to buying.
I’m a woman, but I’ve never bought the skincare brand before and I’m unfamiliar. My guess was 73$, I was ONE BUCK off
"You can buy a baby?" Yeah man it's called adoption. 😂
0:55 this guy is a godsend 👏👏
I wasn't prepared for the non-toxicity of these guys.... 😭💕
I’m a Latina woman who has THICC hair and a LOT of it. A haircut for me, without dying or anything, is already around $100. I had it dyed with highlights and it went up to $310 because I have so much hair so they need to use more product. My sister has a lot of hair too, but thinner, so her haircut and dye job would only be about $230. But even so, it’s still pricey…
Imagine if they included period underwear in this video. You’d be surprised how expensive it is
How about women's razors being more expensive, contraceptive pills, makeup, and the fact that in some countries health insurance is more expensive for women because we might get pregnant...
The first 3 things are optional. Buy men's razors (they're the same thing), don't have sex, and don't wear makeup. None of that is forced.
@@noelleabra147 the point is flying over ur head. the point is that they shouldn't have to not buy them because they're expensive. why should they have to buy men's razors, why r they advertised as 'men's' and 'women's' when they're the same thing. why r things labeled as 'women's' more expensive. that's the point. not having sex shouldn't be the solution. not wearing makeup shouldn't be the solution.
Pads are also absurdly expensive. Take it from a real woman; all of our stuff is expensive just because.
The measurements are to help keep track of dysmenorrhoea, like you're bleeding excessively or far too little. You shouldn't be bleeding more than 35mls-80mls per period (not per day!). 80mls-200mls is medically classed as heavy menstrual bleeding and should be looked into. More than 200mls and you're getting into emergency territory
seriously more people need to know this and not have heavy periods brushed off. I used to fill a cup in 45min-1hr and even an ob/gyn blew me off
Ok, but it makes me mad that a woman getting the mens cut costs a mens cut, but a man getting a womans cut is still the mens price. Like, the way every salon ive asked has explained it, womans hair takes more time and effort, thats why it cost more. So if a dude and a lady get the exact same womans cut, why would one be cheaper?
Girls have different hair from men
It wouldn't where I worked.
@@RealNoticeable huh. I'm pretty sure we all have the same follicles.
Give the guys some respect. Most guys hate this topic and they are willing to talk and touch them.
I don't give respect for bare minimum empathy.
What we Women go through is nothing compared to that and also in my opinion they were making more fun of it then understanding also they get paid to do so.
They didn't even bring up UTI medication or birth control pills.
Measurements on a diva cup: When you have a heavy flow and have to seek treatment, the very first thing you are asked is "how much." The answer can be maxi pads an hour or a tampon every 15 minutes. If you're a diva cup user, the ml on it helps you answer these questions and gauge if you're bleeding to much.
If it serves someone, I use incontinence pads for my most heavy bleeding days and nights. Usually they give me a good six hours sleep.
Which brand of incontinence pads?@@belaytriks
@@belaytriks A trick my sister in law used was puppy pads.
"cause they're more beautiful- DUH?" 😂😂😂
This just shows that all feminine hygiene should be FREE or paid for by healthcare providers yet we get equal or less pay than men. And they call that equality.
Also 19:49 not everyone is dating.
What are you on about number one they shouldn't be free number 2 women get just as much money as men nowadays
Being a woman is expensive due to the pink tax, plus mostly we earn less money due to the pay gap... But yeah, we are absolutely equal, aren't we? ;-)
yeah, totally… equal.
Yayyyy welcome to misogyny ^-^,
Not to mention we sacrifice our minds and body to repopulate the earth
I as a woman saying this, the pay gap does not exist.
@@dragonsfire6575 because you’ve held every job there was to job… it’s literally easy to google
We need a girls version about man products 😂😂😂 the guys were freaking 😂😂😂😂
So many of us buy and guide our dudes in what to buy for their products. Make no mistake, men's products are geared for women to buy. 😂😂😂 It's so true, cause I'm guilty of totally controlling scents and ingredients in all our products. 😂
100% this needs to happen & and it’s gonna be just as educational & hilarious as this episode 🤣
I bet there would be way less products and way less money that they spend. Like razors for shaving their beards and the shaving cream…. And that’s literally it, but I’m not a boy so idk
Since this is FBE, there is a chance that it is already in the making...
What pisses me off is paying a woman's haircut price when I have really short hair. Like I could disguise myself as a man going to the hairdresser and I'd pay so much less ! When will they charge for hair length not gender, seriously
The crazy part is that women are expected to pay for all of this extra stuff to look good and cis women have to buy stuff to deal with stuff our bodies just do.Then we still get paid less on average just making it that much worse. If you get a professional job its even worse. To even attend an interview we need to buy hair products and tools, makeup,nail products or get our nails done at the salon, possibly a brow wax or tweeze unless you can do your own eyebrows and still have to have professional looking clothing like men.
They should have reviewed how many bras a woman goes through in her lifetime or how long they typically last. And going into maternity wear (bras, shirts, etc ) would have been eye-opening.
I wish they had told them how often the products also would need to be replaced
