At first, It was difficult to come up with a topic, I didn't have a main idea of What I wanted to argue about, and There are so many different things to argue about yet it still was difficult to figure out what I wanted to discuss. Then I decided on the topic of the Pink Tax and Women's feminine products, how they are over taxed compared to men's products. I also chose the direction of discussing the effects it has on women's health by not being able to afford these products or making them less accessible.
It had been a little tricky trying to find some information on it, and it's still a prevalent issue, but I had to do more searching to find different sources for this project. What made me decide to choose it? I remember walking through Target with my roommate looking for items to take back to our dorm, food personal products, utensils, etc., and when I was going through the aisle for Feminine Products I saw that the women's products were a little bit more than the men's products, which sparked up this discussion in my head.
I wanted to choose a discussion I hadn't really done and written before, So I thought It was a good idea to construct an idea on this topic. I also wanted to mention how feminine products were represented in the media, as in the idea of periods needing to just be handled and something to quickly take care of, something secretive, The need to let the discussion on it be out there, instead of kept in the shadows.
