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
