Unless one has been living under a rock, everyone has heard of Kesha's case. Kesha sued her producer, Dr. Luke, for sexually, verbally, and emotionally abusing her. Dr. Luke caused Kesha to diet extremely to the point of an eating disorder, forcing her to enter rehab. The case started on February 19, 2014. Kesha wanted to break away from Dr. Luke and Sony Music and make her own. In late 2015, Kesha was denied the ability to leave her contract under the accusations of being a liar.

We are talking about razors, shaving cream, shampoos, conditioners, face wash, clothes, etc. “Women’s products, on average, cost 7% more than the men’s products. And a study from the state of California on this so-called woman tax found that women, on average, pay about $1,351 annually in extra costs for similar goods and services” (market magazine). Why are women’s products more than men's? “I don’t see this going away anytime soon, because the dialogue in our culture is that men and women are different — we call each other the ‘opposite sex,’” says Nicholas Guittar, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of South Carolina Lancaster. Woman pay more on; mortgages (women coming in 0.4% higher than for men), dry cleaning (the average price to clean a men’s shirt is $2.06, while it is $3.95 for a woman’s shirt), hair care and products (48% more), personal care products (on average, deodorant 20%, razor cartridges and razors 11%, and body wash costs 6% more), and clothing (on average, 8%
