BKRM 's Key Ideas from The Handmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood

Observing the results, we can see an average 13% price difference in daily care products, with men’s products being on the cheaper end of the spectrum. Perhaps there would be different requirements for men and women, as there are bodily differences, hence the composition of the products would have to be different for men and women, however, a slight difference in the composition would not be a plausible reason for such a hike in prices for women’s products.

You’d be shocked to discover how much this idea has scaled. It isn't only physical products per se, but many common services as well, such as dry-cleaning, and haircuts, just to mention one.

According to a publication on researchgate.net, “The Cost of Doing Femininity: Gendered Disparities in Pricing of Personal Care Products and Services'', only 15 out of the 100 randomly selected hair salons had equal prices for both men and women. These numbers were obtained by asking for a simple trim of equal lengths.
