Income and wealth of women, not equalized
Yes there is a small difference in pay between men and women a few jobs, but not as many as people think. The real crime comes what incentive programs and tax credits they can't claim that men can. Even more of a problem is what is referred to as the ' Pink Tax '.
Pink Tax is items targeted to women or required for women. Clothes for women are on avg 50% higher then for men. Drug store products are 25% higher. Then you have the fact women are held to a higher appearance standard with everything; weight, body shape, clothes, makeup, shoes.
For shoes a man can get away with just 1 pair for every occasion. A woman how ever no matter their social or economy standing they need at least 5 pairs.
For clothes a man can get away with 3-4 days of changes and often can a whole month and not change at all. A woman how ever needs a different outfit for each day for at least 2 weeks.
Women need to spend 4-5 times more then men on 10-25% less income.
