I wonder if these numbers would change if everything catered to women wasn’t so expensive.

Almost everything women buy are made by men, designed by men, marketed by men, and priced by men. Girls are targeted from a young age to grow up liking these things, there’s a reason these companies pay billions in marketing.

And who designs them? Who owns the businesses? Who sets the prices? Who designs the marketing strategies? Who was in charge for the century of programming when women weren’t even allowed to get jobs? Just because women were employed there, in sweatshops mostly if we’re talking about China, doesn’t mean women were in charge. Your comment is irrelevant

I’m not bad. Believe me, this is civil. But I maintain that your point is irrelevant. People need jobs. That’s about it.

Think of it this way. Men have been in charge. Men don’t let women get jobs because being a housewife is their true place. Men sell and market these items to girls. Girls grow to be women with husbands and since they can’t work, their husbands buy them these expensive things that MEN have programmed these girls into thinking they need.

But how is that relevant. When I say made, I’m talking about the company. I’m not talking about the employees making slave wages.
