with packaging aimed at women and girls. I've used the cheaper stuff aimed at men for many, many years.

I'd advise all my sisters to look carefully at a lot of things out there. Paying extra for pink when the identical product is made in brown for a lot less is just plain nuts.

Maybe if we start boycotting (girlcotting) this garbage, they'll catch a clue about how we're onto them and won't be ripped off any more.
