English term or phrase: pink tax

Definition from Oxford English Dictionary:
an inordinate price markup on services and products marketed to or bought by women (especially as compared to similar products for men), characterized as a tax on femininity.

Example sentence(s):

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

розов данък

Definition from Nova.bg:
Жените плащат повече от мъжете за една и съща стока, показват проучвания на пазара в различни държави. Маркетинг експерти наричат този феномен феномен "розов" данък.

Example sentence(s):

Жените плащат по-високи цени в сравнение с мъжете за идентични базови дрехи, каквато например е обикновената бяла тениска, на едни и същи марки и производители, съобщава „Дейли Мейл“. Според експерти, разликата може да достигне до 45%. Те са стигнали до този извод анализирайки стойността на бяла тениска за мъже и жени на различни марки производители, като например Gap, River Island и H&, предлагани на територията на Великобритания. Установили, че независимо, че става дума за едни и същи производители, плат, модел и цвят, цените са различни за мъже и жени. Специалистите по маркетинг наричат това pink tax или буквално "розов данък". - actualno.com
Жените заплащат повече пари за едни и същи стоки в сравнение с мъжете, като по този начин биват негласно таксувани с тъй-наречения "розов данък", пише в. "Дейли мейл". - dnes.bg
