For one couple, marriage comes with a unique financial arrangement: a $206 monthly “woman tax.” According to Camilla, a content creator who shared the story on TikTok, the payment serves as compensation for the physical and emotional toll women endure compared to men.
In her viral video, which has racked up over 632,000 views, Camilla explained the reasoning behind the tax. “This tax is to compensate me for the fact that I have to have a period every single month, have two brutal pregnancies where I vomited most days and then I had two C-sections,” she said.

The idea, surprisingly, came from her husband, who believed it was a fair way to support her. The money specifically covers her manicures and pedicures twice a month, a luxury Camilla says makes a significant difference in her life. “I cannot explain how happy getting a mani and pedi makes me, and it really does make up for that week of bleeding,” she shared in the video.
Breaking Down the “Woman Tax”
The payment is structured into two installments of about $103 each, adding up to nearly $2,500 a year. While some may see it as an unconventional agreement, Camilla says it’s a simple way to address the often-overlooked struggles women face.
She argues that the tax is justified because, in her words, “Women honestly have such a hard time.” She pointed out that men have it easier in comparison and added, “Men should be paying woman tax.”
For Camilla, the tax isn’t just about financial support; it’s also a way to set an example for her children. “I want my kids to see that they should be taken care of and also to take care of themselves,” she explained.

A Divided Reaction
Camilla’s unusual approach to marriage sparked both admiration and debate online. Many women were thrilled by the concept and praised her husband’s thoughtfulness.
“Where do ya find men that do this!!” one commenter exclaimed.
Another wrote, “God you are so blessed to have a man that thinks like that.”
Some even joked about making the practice more widespread, with one user saying, “Make this legal.” Another chimed in, “Why is this not more normal??”
However, not everyone agreed. Critics raised questions about fairness and whether such arrangements place undue emphasis on financial transactions in relationships. While Camilla didn’t address these concerns in her video, her unapologetic approach suggests she’s unbothered by the backlash.
A Symbol of Partnership
At its core, the “woman tax” is more than a quirky idea; it’s a representation of how one couple chooses to navigate the challenges women face. Camilla’s husband’s willingness to support her in this unique way demonstrates an attempt to balance the scales in their relationship.
Whether you agree with the concept or not, Camilla’s story has certainly sparked conversations about gender roles, shared responsibilities, and the ways couples can support each other in modern relationships. As the comments and views continue to grow, one thing is clear: her story has resonated deeply with women across the internet.
