They're not in the wrong for making money. They're in the wrong for lying. You seem to be extremely reluctant to accept this, and I'm not sure why. I can't help but feel like you just said "RAWR I HATE FEMINISM YOU'RE ALL WRONG" and are letting that take the place of actually thinking about the issue at hand.

I'm not going to respond point by point anymore because I'm spending far too much (even if it's very little) energy on something so inane.

You, for whatever reason, feel that the business is doing something morally reprehensible by charging women more for products that you perceive to be the same. Or also charging them more for products that are different too. I don't know, you can't keep that straight.

You, for whatever reason, also feel the onus of responsibility is on the business to correct this issue instead of the consumer. Or, if you don't think its the business' responsibility then we shouldn't even be having this conversation because the business is doing exactly what is right for themselves.

The irony of your statement claiming that this is some anti-feminism rant is that I'm actually pro-women in this argument. I'm saying women are perfectly capable of making a smart, informed decision. You on the other hand seem to believe they need your knowledge and protection to resolve the issue. I'm empowering them to make their own decisions.
