I think this is going to go down in history as an iconic photo from the 2010s. 

The determination on their faces. Especially the woman in the blue skirt and brown shirt.

Normally, I feel like people are way too liberal in calling things “Orwellian”, because I’ve seen people claim everything from speed limits to environmental laws to privately owned security cameras in stores as being “Orwellian”, but Trump, in this instance, is utterly Orwellian.

CultureHISTORY:  Election Night in America - November 4, 2008

On this date seven years ago, the United States of America elected the nation’s first African-American president. So much raw emotion. What a wondrous and profound night it was.

Watch: The “pink tax” is secretly costing women thousands — and not just at the drug store

[peace--and--tranquility]

Yooooooooooo

[creativelycultivated]

Women pay more for products. Men pay more for clothing.

[respect-thetrillogy]

Do men really pay more for clothes?

[creativelycultivated]

Yea, seriously. Shirts, sneakers, jeans, socks…etc. Ask your male friends how much they pay for a pair of descent jeans. It’ll blow your mind. 

[xiki-muffin]

At least their pants have fucking pockets tho

Are you sure?

Are you

ABSOLUTELY SURE??

BECAUSE I’M NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCED

LIKE AT ALL

THAT MEN HAVE IT HARDER

(Victoria’s Secret)

OH AND SHOULD I BRING UP PANTIES WHILE I’M AT IT? I am a firm believer of the “fuck you, I’ll wear briefs that don’t give me a wedgie, I don’t care if they’re not sexy” policy, but a lot of women are expected to wear panties and thongs because GASP WOMEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL AT ALL TIMES. Here’s a screenshot of some Victoria’s secret panties!

Wow. It’s almost as if there’s a pattern here.

Women are expected to buy more clothing, and literally all of it is more expensive, so fuck all of you.

[petty-davis-eyes-deactivated202]

Fucking infuriating. And, NO ONE pays more for clothes than fat women. Tired of it.

[afronerdism]

Have you ever stepped on a Torrid? $50-$80 for a blouse.

[kingevangelista]

^^^^^

[thefandomdropout]

Yup it totally gets more costly when you’re not model thin.

[imjustjason]

Woah

[purplelittlemermaid]

I’m here to confirm the fat girl comment…. decent fitting, CUTE plus size shit is just expensive as fuck.

[crumplelush]

As a trans person who has shopped for both mens and womens clothes, I can confirm that womens clothes are A LOT more expensive than mens - and women are expected to buy more as well. I don’t mean that women are expected to love shopping and want loads of outfits (although that expectation certainly contributes), I mean that womens shirts are sheer and they are expected to wear stuff underneath them, while mens shirts are opaque. Womens tops are flimsy so they have to wear cardigans or jumpers, mens tops are thicker and they can get away without. Womens clothes don’t have pockets so they’re forced to buy bags to carry stuff.

There is only one single exception to this that I can found. And that is underwear. I don’t mean lingerie like the Victoria’s Secret stuff above, I mean basic knickers vs basic boxers. A multipack of 7 knickers from Primark costs about £4. A multipack of 3 boxers from Primark costs £7. That is literally the only exception that I’ve found.

Of course, considering that a lot of women also wear bras that tiny concession ceases to be a factor once you add in the cost of a bra. Even a basic Primark one costs about £6 for one. That basic bras aren’t supportive, comfortable, long lasting, or anything else you need from a bra.

So yeah, men might pay a lot for their clothes. But women pay a lot more.

If you’re skeptical about the Pink Tax, you can do your own test at a local store. That’s literally what I did here, complete with photographic evidence of the pricing:

This is actually A+ cat management. “Mirroring” is a big thing with cats. It’s why they will lay in similar positions several feet apart, or will come and try to do things when you do them. It’s a sign that they love you and want to show. This cat wants to be close to its owner, and also wants to do what its owner is doing, to be involved in some way. Giving them their own thing to use is a really great way to redirect them and allow them to mirror the behavior in a non-disruptive way that frustrates neither party. This is a GOOD IDEA.

[bobson-dugnut]

When I was very little i used to kneel on the floor and draw on a toybox cause we had no table. My cat used to stand next to me whenever I did and rest his front legs on the box mirroring me

Aang is a genocide survivor who lost almost everything he has ever known and loved and has the biggest responsibility of anyone in the world and yet he makes silly jewelry and rides animals and seeks joy and love and light wherever he can find it and loves his friends more than anything in the world and exudes zero toxic masculinity and sometimes I get overwhelmed by how much I love him.
