I say it just so happens that women more often have jobs that require them to wear potato sacks. My cite is my post, just like yours is.

If you have any evidence for any of your myriad claims, please provide it.

As to the point of this thread, it was a question asked by a poster about whether the pink tax exists. Since you agree that it does, I’m not sure what the point of your continued posts are, other then to accidentally offend women by seeming to imply that they are stupid consumers who enjoy getting screwed by marketing departments.
