From Cradle to Cane: The Cost of Being a Female Consumer
A Study of Gender Pricing in New York City
The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) is responsible for maintaining a fair and vibrant marketplace. To this end, DCA conducted a first-ever study of the gender pricing of goods in New York City across multiple industries. The industries studied for this report include: toys and accessories, children’s clothing, adult clothing, personal care products, and home health care products for seniors. This study reflects an average consumer lifecycle, from baby to senior products, providing a glimpse into the experiences of consumers of all ages.
The Agency compared nearly 800 products with clear male and female versions from more than 90 brands sold at two dozen New York City retailers, both online and in stores.
Findings
On average, across all five industries, DCA found that women’s products cost 7 percent more than similar products for men. Specifically:
7 percent more for toys and accessories
4 percent more for children’s clothing
8 percent more for adult clothing
13 percent more for personal care products
8 percent more for senior/home health care products

My feminist mentor way back when spoke of the "female tax" and the "non-Caucasian fee". 
to undercut the patriarchal competition on price.
