Description

The pink tax is a form of gender discrimination that can cost women an average of $1,400 a year. In this episode, host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with correspondent Desi Lydic, segment director Stacey Angeles, and Congresswoman Jackie Speier to discuss why the pink tax exists and how it impacts women’s wallets. Representative Speier even gives Roy a few examples of everyday female products that cost more than those marketed to men.
