A new play on the old lipstick index. Society likes to use women’s buying habits (especially on beautification) as an indicator with the implication always that women are frittering their funds away. From what I have seen women are usually more financially responsible and able to do more with so much less.
Thank you for drawing attention to the systemic barriers that lead to wealth inequality. Women being afraid to ride the subway late at night and having to pay more to be safe. Combining that fact with the fact that she's already paid less than her male counterparts and no doubt finances will not be fixed by skipping a few lattes. I'm about to go get my pedicure because I definitely like pretty toes. Sadly, if a male walked around in sandals without a pedicure, no one would bat an eye. As a woman, I would be judged if someone saw unpainted toes. Make it make sense! Patriarchy stinks!

Yes! Research always finds women to be much more conservative with money than men!
Thank you SO much for this! Can we stop vilifying people who are just trying to live, and start protecting each other (women, men, all genders)?
PLEASE!
Thank you for this! I’m so tired but you are a breath of fresh air.
AMEN. Thank you for this.
