Example sentences:
Yet pink tax is not a new phenomenon. Over the past 20 years, California, Connecticut, Florida, and South Dakota have released reports on gender pricing in their states. In 2010, Consumer Reports highlighted the matter nationally with a study that found, at the time, women paid as much as 50 percent more than men did for similar products. (healthline)
The influence of tariffs on retail pricing makes it difficult to solely blame manufacturers for gender-based pricing discrepancies seen in stores across the nation. Tariffs do not, however, fully explain or justify the existence of the Pink Tax because discriminatory pricing based on gender is prevalent not just in the case of retail merchandise but also in everyday services. (Bankrate)
The easiest way to avoid the pink tax is to comparison shop when you can. Check out the “men’s” versions of razors, shampoo, and other personal care products. Browse men’s basics like t-shirts, button-up shirts and socks—chances are, you’ll pay less for products of similar, or better, quality. (Good Housekeeping)

الضريبة الوردية

Definition from wikipedia:
الضريبة الوردية أو الضريبة الأنثوية (بالإنجليزية: pink tax)‏ هو مصطلح يشير إلى زيادة أثمنة المنتجات على أساس التمييز الجنسي، فتدفع النساء أكثر لشراء نفس المنتجات لمجرد تغلييفها في عبوات وردية أو بنفسجية اللون ورغم احتوائها على نفس مكونات المنتجات التي يتم تسويقها للرجال، وبسبب تلك الضريبة القائمة على أساس التمييز الجنسي تدفع النساء 1,351 $ أكثر من الرجال سنويا لشراء نفس المنتجات.
