Tri - I | Hot Topic | Pink Tax
"I have no idea why states would tax these items as luxury items, I suspect it's because men were making the laws when those taxes were passed." -President Obama
The cost of being a female consumer is, on average, seven percent more than male counterparts. Yet, statistics say women still make only 80 percent of what men make in wages. Led by a panel of speakers, come and discuss whether the Pink Tax is the result of supply and demand or a sexist system in action.
The topics for these events are chosen and facilitated by our students.
Enjoy lunch on us and add your own opinion to the discussion.
