And those aren't discriminatory marketing practices. They target people based on their understanding of the products, not anything else. Targeting people who don't understand what matters in toiletries, charging them for pointless stuff? That's fair game. Specifically targeting a subgroup of people within that demographic and aiming to have them pay more for literally no reason? Not so much, because that's discriminatory.

I'm failing to see how your refuted my argument. All marketing is discriminatory. They have a target audience that they're trying to convince to buy stuff. It's pretty much inherently manipulative no matter the demographic. There are just as many ads attempting to manipulate men into buying stuff by appealing to their need to feel masculine. I've seen many ads that directly attempt to emasculate men for not having their product. It's not advertisers fault that women likr to shop more than men
