“So this isn’t about the lattes. It’s never been about the lattes. Or any of the other ways we women are told we’re deficient around money. It’s about changing the narrative to recognize the real challenges we face as women and tackling real issues. It’s about demanding a fairer playing field from our institutions (paid maternity leave, anyone?). It’s about holding the companies at which we work accountable by demanding that they report out, and close, their gender pay gaps. It’s about giving all of our children the tools to live the lives that they deserve. It’s about balancing out our existing power structures. As Gloria Steinem has said, “We will not solve the feminization of power until we solve the masculinity of wealth.”

So, ladies, buy the f***ing latte, because I’m going to need you caffeinated when we do this thing.”

Don't forget the so-called pink tax. If that doesn't sound familiar just look at dry cleaning prices. It is prevalent in many things but this is an easy place to check into it. 

BTW, I don't like milk so I will pass on the latte

No, it's not all about the lattes, but limiting the lattes, pedicures, etc. is actually important if you're up to your eyeballs in debt.
