Every autumn, throughout her childhood, we repeated the ritual of planting the bulbs together. Every autumn I saw her changing, the toddler became a schoolgirl, a straightforward realist, full of drive. Never once dreamy, her hands in her pockets; no longer happily indulging in her fantasies. The schoolgirl developed long legs, her jaw-line changed, she had her hair cut. It was autumn again that I thought “bye roses, bye butterflies, bye schoolgirl”. I listened to her stories while we painstakingly burrowed in the earth, planting the promise of spring.

? Women expect to pay the same prices for goods and services as men pay, but even in

2004, they don't.

? Women frequently pay more—for products marketed specifically to women, or just

because women are doing the buying. It's been estimated that this so-called gender tax or gender-based pricing costs Canadian women billions of dollars a year.

? For example, products scented and packaged specifically for women are often sold in

smaller sizes at the same price as comparable products aimed at men. Manufacturers argue that since these products are designed specifically for women, they cost more. However, men aren't asked to pay more for products designed specifically for them.

? 妇女期待在购买商品和接受服务时和男人花同样的钱，但即使到了2004年，这个愿

望也未得实现。

? 妇女常常比男人付费多，因为产品是专门卖给妇女的，或仅仅因为妇女承担着购买

任务。据估计，这种所谓的性别税或按性别定价，每年要让加拿大妇女花掉几十个亿。

? 例如，专为妇女设计的带有香味和包装的产品，其体积往往比同类男性用品小，但

? As well, services like haircuts and dry cleaning can cost women more. Companies argue

it requires more time and labour to cut and style a woman's longer hair or hand-press a blouse. However, when women with short hair spend the same time in the stylist's chair as the man next to them and pay more for the privilege, or when women pay more than men at the dry cleaners for machine-pressed tailored shirts, gender discrimination is clear. ? While this type of inequity might not seem as serious as other forms of gender bias,

consider that women don’t receive as many dollars as men in the first place. Women working full-time earn about 72% of men’s wages for comparable jobs, a percentage that would be even lower had men’s earnings not declined. For women in the paid labour force, the average annual income from all sources is about 58% of men's income, and there is an equivalent gap in pension benefits. Women not only have lower earning power,
