Pink Tax and Personal Care Products Discussion

I’m working on a psychology multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

In gender diversity there exists something that can be referred to as a “Pink Tax”. Specifically, this refers to the price discrimination of products marketed to women versus products marketed to men. However, this concept may be able to be expanded to include the subtle price women pay in unseen ways for being women. An example of this is pockets. Whether it be pants, shorts, or swimsuits men’s clothing tends to have pockets, usually deep ones, where items can be safely carried on their person. Women’s clothing, however, tends to have no pockets, or pockets that are so shallow they are virtually useless.

For this week’s assignment, in an APA style essay, please examine other areas of life where this type of subtle discrimination may exist. What are some factors that contribute to the continuation of this type of discrimination? How might society address these unconscious types of discrimination?
