British women often have to pay more than men for almost the same things. According to a study by
The Times newspaper, many products for women cost twice as much as similar things for men. The
findings show that female clothes, beauty products and toys are on average 36 per cent more expensive
than those for men and boys. For example, buyers are charged $7 more for a pink scooter aimed at girls
than for a black one. The Times refers to this phenomenon as “sexist pricing”, while other call it “gender
tax”. To explain for the price gap between two genders, Britain’s Financial Times newspaper argues:
"Perhaps women tend to be busier and have less time to shop around. Or perhaps they care more about
quality…, whereas men just want something cheap." However, the Financial Times claims that men do
pay more for some things and questions why journalists do not look at price differences for things that are
more appealing to men.
