Eliana Burns Humboldt State University 2020 Department of Communications Pink Is The New Tax 1 Historically women in America have made colossal advances that have proven they are just as capable as men. Women had fought and continued to challenge the system since 1919 with the 19th Amendment giving them a right to vote. However, even with this crucial progression, womens’ oppression can be found all around us only in much more subtle ways such as “ the pink tax”. As of 2020 there are currently no federal laws to outlaw companies from charging different prices depending on which gender they are meant to be marketed to. This rhetorical analysis will first address the concept of gendered products, how the tax benefits from these products, and why gendering of products reinforce gender discrimination and stereotypes. A brief explanation as to why the tax is nicknamed “the tampon tax” is included.

The Bring Your Own Tampon Policy: Why Menstrual Hygiene Products Should Be Provided for Free in Restrooms ELIZABETH MONTANO* Like toilet paper, menstrual hygiene products,1 such as tampons and pads, are necessities for managing natural and unavoidable bodily functions. However, menstrual hygiene products widely receive separate treatment in restrooms across the globe. While it would be absurd today to carry a roll of toilet paper at all times, it is considered necessary and common sense for all menstruators to carry menstrual hy- giene products at all times, for approximately forty years, in case of an emergency.

Professor of Law, Co-Director, Center on Applied Feminism, Director, Bronfein Family Law Clinic, University of Baltimore School of Law. My clinic students and I have worked with the Reproductive Justice Coalition on legislative advocacy for reproductive health care policies and free access to menstrual products for incarcerated persons since fall 2016. In 2018, two bills became law in Maryland requiring reproductive health care policies in the correctional facilities as well as free access to products. Maryland HB 787/SB629 (reproductive health care policies) and HB 797/SB 598 (menstrual products). I want to thank the Coalition members and my students who worked so hard on these important laws and are currently working on their implementation and continued reforms. I also want to thank the following persons who reviewed and provided important feedback on drafts and presentations of this Article: Professors Michele Gilman, Shanta Trivedi, Virginia Rowthorn, Nadia Sam-Agudu, MD, Audrey McFarlane, Lauren Bartlett, Carolyn Grose, Claire Donohue, Phyllis Goldfarb, Tanya Cooper, Sherley Cruz, Naomi Mann, Dr. Nadia Sam-Agudu, Marcia Zug, Courtney Cross, and Sabrina Balgamwalla. I want to thank Amy Fettig for alerting me to the breadth of this issue. I also want to thank Bridget Crawford, Marcy Karin, Laura Strausfeld, and Emily Gold Waldman for collaborating and thinking about issues relating to periods and menstruation. And I am indebted to Max Johnson-Fraidin for his insight into the various critical legal theories discussed in this Article and Maya Johnson-Fraidin for her work on menstrual justice legislative advocacy.

You finally had a chance to slip away from the memorandum you had been assigned by your managing partner to rush out of your shared office when you felt that tell-tale ache in the pit of your stomach. But it’s not really in your stomach, that’s just the polite word you would use in mixed company, and it’s not so much an ache as what you can only imagine it would feel like if a velociraptor tried to hatch out of your body. You try to hide the brightly wrapped tampon in your hand—because they’re targeted to women you better believe that the amount of pink and purple packaging makes discretion impossible—as you run-walk past the receptionist, though she probably knows exactly what you’re doing, since she’s done the same run-walk before. In fact, almost every other woman in your firm has perfected the run-walk with the tampon or pad scrunched in their fist because pencil skirts don’t have pockets.

  • “My Period Is Taxing, but It Need Not Be Taxed”
    Volume 11, July 2020 ISSN 2581-5504 “My Period is taxing, but it need not be taxed” *Debasrita Choudhury KLE Society’s Law College, Bangalore **Avik Sarkar KLE Society’s Law College, Bangalore Abstraction Period positivity is the need of the hour and along with that affordable quality hygiene products are to be ensured for every pre-pubescent girl in each corner of the world. Taboos, stigma and lack of awareness regarding the subject has slowed down this process considerably. Religious texts governing the lives of ancient humanity do not help the cause. Neither do the shackling clutches of period poverty in lack of clean water, disposal, waste management and other sanitary requirements. There comes the question of quality in cheaper sanitary products, which maybe an improvement over rags, sawdust, or discarded cloth, but is still not hygienic. Capitalisation of the period movement has only reinstated more gender roles and worked in favour of sexism. Eradication of period poverty has become the essential need. A progressive law to be made in this backdrop is the paid menstrual leave, which is found in countries like Indonesia, South Korea, Japan etc. There are pros and cons to every law passed; while some argue that it would prevent employers from inculcating more female employees in the workforce, others think that this law is of great importance and much awaited. As an alternative solution, menstrual flexibility may be suggested. Then comes the barriers of taxation. The tampon tax, also known as the pink tax is rampant in countries like US and surprisingly, a nation in the grip of taboos and superstitions like India has taken a big step in eradicating tax on menstrual hygiene products.

  • The Pink Tax: Gender-Based Pricing Hurts Women's Buying Power
    December 2016 The Pink Tax How Gender-Based Pricing Hurts Women’s Buying Power Much has been written about women as wage-earners, particularly the fact that they typically earn less than men. In 2015, a woman with median earnings working full time, year-round earned only 80 percent of what her male counterpart earned.1 This 20-percent difference is widely known as the “gender pay gap.” For a typical female worker, the pay gap adds up to nearly $10,500 over the course of a year and roughly $500,000 over a lifetime.2 This contributes to higher poverty rates among women. Research has shown that if women were paid the same as comparable men, the poverty rate among working women would be cut in half.3 However, it is less well known that women also are disadvantaged as consumers – frequently paying substantially more than men for similar goods and services. Common products and services marketed to women, ranging from razors and soaps to dry cleaning, often cost more than similar products marketed to men. Manufacturers and retailers may claim that the price difference is due to higher costs for producing women’s products or providing services for women, but there is a great deal of evidence that there are significant price differences for practically identical products. In some cases, the only difference is the color. This markup has become known as the “pink tax.” Despite Challenges, Women’s Earning Power Is Greater than Ever Women’s participation in the paid workforce has increased dramatically since the Equal Pay Act and Civil Rights Act were enacted more than 50 years ago.

First, it argues that the "tampon tax"-an umbrella term to describe sales, VAT, and similar "luxury" taxes imposed on menstrual hygiene products- illustrates how deeply embedded gender is in legal structures such as the tax system that are thought to be neutral. Second, this Article posits that tax reform is an essential tool in achieving both gender equality and human rights. In recent months, activists around the globe have harnessed the power of the Internet to raise awareness of the tampon tax. In response to pressure from constituents, five states and Canada have repealed their tampon tax. Active repeal campaigns are underway in Australia, the UnitedKingdom, and several other countries.

Journal of Empirical Legal Studies Volume 15, Issue 3, 620–647, September 2018 Who Benefits from Repealing Tampon Taxes? Empirical Evidence from New Jersey Christopher Cotropia, and Kyle Rozema* Many state and local governments exclude some medical products from the sales tax base, including some that are primarily used by men such as hair growth products. However, tampons and other menstrual hygiene products are subject to sales taxes in most states. A recent social movement advocates for the repeal of these “tampon taxes” and several class action lawsuits have been filed against states citing equal protection violations. In this arti- cle, we use the 2005 elimination of menstrual hygiene products from the sales tax base in New Jersey as a natural experiment to study who benefits from the repeal of tampon taxes.
