WOW. A pharmacy powerful enough to create their own taxes.
Congress can go home now.

Excuse me? I was making a statement that I, as a woman, would not shop there? Are you suggesting I would?

Must be satire. That is totally illegal, that would be akin to charge blacks a higher tax, I claim BS on this. I would go there right now and have them do that and then sue for a ton of money.

So, they charge men more and pocket the difference. Women who believe this nonsense are idiots. Men who shop there are bigger idiots.

Two valid responses:

1) Stop shopping there
2) “Identify” as a woman and demand the tax not be imposed

I wish all stores would do this. Then wives wouldn't be able to have their husbands go out and do errands.

"Honey, can you stop by the store and get..."

"No can do, honey. If I go it'll cost us an extra 7%. Here's the car keys."

I can see this leading to kiss of extra taxes and discounts.

White? +10%
Black? -5%
Muslim? -15%
Christian? +20%

If a man walks in wearing a dress and high heels does he get a discount? Where TF is this pharmacy, in the Village? NYC the capital of Liberalism.

Last year, the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs released a study claiming that products marketed to women in New York cost on average 7 percent more than equivalent products marketed to men, which explains Alony’s choice of a 7 percent tax for men.

Go into any department store and notice the percentage of floor space given to women's products, versus men's products. Women like to browse around until they get the EXACT thing that pleases them. Then they take it home, decide they've changed their minds, and return it.

A man will go in wanting a new shirt, grab a shirt which looks like it will fit, take it home, and wear it.

If anything MEN should get a discount.

Yet another step in the domination, oppression, and subjugation of men in America.

Women dominate the arena in public schools, banks, health care, government, the media/advertising, enjoy immunity from lies and false rape/abuse allegations, automatically get better rates on insurance, benefit from groosly unfair and biased divorce settlements,...and the list goes on.

If this stands, the bigotry will spread to the same cities that traded in Columbus Day for Indigenous People’s Day.
