The color Pink

I've discovered an interesting thing when hanging around large groups of guys... they hate pink. Which just makes me want to embrace it. It's actually rather odd when you think about it. A color is just a color, right? But why would guys hate pink so much?

Here's an interesting link:

The question really comes up... can one enjoy pink? I feel that I can fit into a room full of guys, through my own identity. It doesn't require trying to distance myself from all things girly and pink. I can be good at math and hopefully some day, good at programming... all without trying to avoid pink.

Being a girl doesn't mean that one has to love pink, being a guy doesn't mean that one has to hate pink. But pink, like it or not, has a lot of connections with being female. And damn it, I like being female!

I think I'll try to choose pink over other colors when given a choice in today's world. At least the guys in class won't try to take my stuff. ;) They probably think it'll poison them!
