the proven theory that women, though only paid 78% as much as men, pay more for everyday things branded 'for women' than men do, such as 'women's shampoo, 'women's razors, and 'women's deodorant.

A misconception suggesting that women have to pay more than men for the exact same products and services. This is in fact false. While some female goods are more expensive, there is a good reason for this.
In general, women's products are more specialised-requiring more complex ingredients and/or a manufacturing process. As result they cost more to make and therefore to buy.
The Pink Tax argument is flawed by design anyway, as if it were true, women could just buy men's goods and save money.

"It's not fair that my soap is more expensive then my husbands, even though he only buys the standard store brand while mine is designed for soft sensitive skin with moisterising agent and is perfumed...I hate this stupid Pink Tax"
