I take it that equity isn't popular in Middle America?

You have two brothers.

Both of them go to school.

One of them studies engineering, he focuses on his studies and when he gets out struggles for years but finally pays off his student loan debt. He saves money for a house and after many years is able to buy one it took him decades of hard work and living an often lonly life but he's finally successful.

His brother smokes weed every day, skips class, and gets a degree in women's studies so he can hit on more women. After college he finds out his diploma is worthless but he learned some tarrot and palm reading from his pick up artist days, and sets himself up as a psychic.

People who belive in equity think that both brothers should make the exact same amount of money does that seem like a good idea?

At least I don't have lazy family members like that.
 
The so-called pink tax is simply caused by the fact that those products actually do cost more to produce. Morons look at things like disposable razors and see the blue ones cost less than pink ones and just assume sexism rather than considering the cost of making something pink vs. making something blue. I also can't help but wonder if they've come to this conclusion why they simply don't buy the blue ones. If they are literally the same product, it should make no difference and the insistence on having pink ones instead of blue ones comes from where exactly? If there are other differences between the products, then their argument is entirely invalid, isn't it?

Not the first state which used to have a Pink Tax 🤔
