Otherwise,it will forever represent all the things I was not allowed to do because of my gender. It’s the color of my repression. No shop classes, no working with my Dad in his machine shop doing prototyping, no learning to mow the lawn or work on my own cars at home – all because I was ,’pink’. I forgave my parents for giving me a pink bicycle. I knew how hard it was for them to get me one at all. But, I was ecstatic when my older brother painted it candy apple red for me. I do not wear pink, buy pink, or decorate pink. (We call it lightish-red in my house, but that’s not because of me)
Does this mean we should not use pink? NO. We Should use pink. I suspect it makes girls feel less in competition with the boys. The girls are on their own turf when it’s pink.
