The 10th source "Why the tampon tax is here to stay - for a while at least", which is from a news broadcasting website, seems unreliable because it is biased towards ending the tampon tax. The article is also talking about the tampon tax in the UK, not the US.

Consumption Taxes
Since the consumption tax refers to the tampon tax, can it fit under the term personal care products? It also does not need to mention the tampon tax in other countries because this article is only about the gender-based price disparities in the US.

Personal Care Industry
What is the significance of the study conducted by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs? Should mention the conclusion of these studies instead of just mentioning that there are studies about the prices in personal care products and services.
In the personal care products, it can mention the "pink tax."
What is the significance of having salon-quality hair styling tools at home?

Include the court cases that have ruled against gender-based pricing.

Inaccurate
This page is factually inaccurate. One part of the price difference is because women are willing to pay more for things that are marketed to them[1]. The other part is that women's personal care products cost more because they use different ingredients[2]. I was going to edit this page myself, however I noticed that it part of some class project, so I will leave it be in the hopes that the assigned editors can keep these points in mind while editing.

For example, white women paid forty percent more than white men, and black women paid more than three times the price negotiated by white men.
This seems ridiculous—e.g., if white men paid $25,000 for a car, then black women paid $75,000 for it? The source is behind a paywall at JSTOR, so I couldn’t check what the source actually says.

Oppose as proposed. It seems like this would exacerbate the problem of
WP:GLOBAL, because then you would have an article on a global topic, but with writing based entirely on the situation in the United States. Instead, if you would like to resolve this, I would suggest writing a new article with a general or global perspective at the redlink, which would result in this becoming a daughter article.

Comment: There is a distinction between the concept of
price discrimination for reasons of gender (which is a seller's decision to price goods), and of differences in laws affecting prices of products that happen to be primarily consumed by users of particular genders (a systematic policy issue). I'm not sure if the article should cover both, but if it does, we should avoid conflating one with the other by subsuming them under the term "price discrimination" (whose accepted meaning in economics is the former, and in that context, it is not an implication of intentional malice).
