FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Price Controls vs. Women Shoppers: The Great Target Revolt of 2025
Minneapolis, Bohiney, Inc. PRESS RELEASE MN - Target's experiment with "dynamic gender pricing" has sparked nationwide protests after charging 2.99formen'srazorsand2.99formen'srazorsand14.99 for the pink version. The policy, quietly implemented last month, applies to 137 products from headphones to yoga mats.
"This isn't inflation - it's misogyny with a barcode," said activist Rebecca Cho, leading a flash mob that reprogrammed store scanners to display "PATRIARCHY TAX" at checkout. Target CEO Brian Cornell initially defended the practice as "responsive to women's greater willingness to pay," before backtracking when shoppers began bulk-purchasing men's products and hosting "de-gendering parties" in parking lots.
Economists note the debacle proves two immutable laws: 1) The pink tax is real, and 2) Never underestimate women with coupon apps.
