&quot;Actual discrimination&quot; ignores facts. This statement uses facts.
These data shows that people who sell women&#x27;s products can get away with a steeper price point, which suggests that people who care enough about having a girl&#x27;s version are willing to pay steeper prices for it. This doesn&#x27;t paint a picture of discrimination, it paints a picture of people who will happily spend more for pink paint. As noted in the parent post, it also paints a picture of people willing to spend more on cartoon underoos, which suggests that this isn&#x27;t a gendered phenomenon--rather, that the markets for pink things and cartoon undies are filled with customers who are willing to spend more for their favorite color&#x2F;cartoon, where other, less pink&#x2F;cartoon&#x27;d products aren&#x27;t as highly valued.
