There is a newish dry cleaner downtown. I was tempted to try them, until I saw a sign that proudly proclaims that they launder and press "men's shirts".
What the hell? What about my damn shirts??!! Excuse me dry cleaner person, but I am a female and I wear suits that require shirts under them that usually require laundering and pressing. Does dry cleaner person think females enjoy laundry and ironing, or is it just that females are better at laundry and ironing? (Well, we are usually better at it, but that's beside the point.)

Womens' shirts can either be laundered for 50 percent more (if you're lucky) Or you have to pay to have them dry cleaned. The dry cleaners say womens' clothes are smaller. Or something like that. (I once argued with one for almost 20 minutes) But basically it's just a racket. And so far no one has been able to break it. I mean, what, exactly, do you sue for?
Yes a woman's shirt is in all respects just like a mans. In some cases, perhaps, a smaller, slender man. But still pretty much the same thing. They can charge us more. So they do.
