Gender Pricing: The Higher Costs of Being a Woman
Wait, what?
At a dry cleaner near my house, they charge $2.75 to dry clean a man’s dress shirt, and $3.50 to clean a women’s dress shirt. To me, there’s no perceptible reason why this should be so, considering we’re talking about the simple act of washing dirt out of fabric (and shouldn’t gals argue that men sweat more?). I joke, but this is some pretty serious gender-based price favoritism. And dry cleaners are far from the only perpetrators.
