Gender and colors

[reiddb]

Doesn't seem so as much....

[holmesch22]

pink is for girls and blue is for  boys yellow and purple is for either

[Forp]

no...guys clothes have tshirts in pink and orange and lime green  including dress shirts and ties.

For so long pink was for girls and blue was for boys. Boys was supposed to not wear pink. Do you think that still applies today?

Some guys do wear pink.I think that some of them wear it for a cause. But some do it for fashion. I do find it different,though. Pink and powder blue were big in the 80s. Has that returned? Not so many wear blue now.

I've seen a few boys wearing pink (especially in October which is breast cancer awareness month) and a message which says "tough guys where pink". I love it. I think it shows a sensitive and empathic side which is admirable. Even the NFL players are wearing a smattering of pink and red. Even without breast cancer awareness month, I think it looks nice.

Yeah, I think it should still be that way.  Besides, kids have enough to worry about without getting teased for wearing pink.

I'm a girl and I like blue 

[ktheodos]

Pink used to be considered masculine, as a level below fiery red, and blue was feminine. At some point in history, the colors got switched and remains to be that way today.

I had heard this too....I still think it applies today, but it's probably more accepted if people mix it up

to some degree yes, but I do think many people are more open to switching up colors. I know many people just avoid the pink and blue issue altogether and go with yellows and greens.

I don't care really, but yeah, a lot of people believe that.  There was a show that they had a mother and son looking for his hat at a mall, and most people walked right past a pink hat but couldn't remember seeing one when asked.  Some people did mention the hat but more as just an observation, not that they assumed it was his.

I don't think it applies today. I see men wearing pink all of the time and it doesn't seem to bother them.

[mrisha]

I was never into the blue and pink think for babies.  I don't like pink.  For me it was an array purples, yellow.  Not one to follow the crowd.

A lot of men wear pink shirts and it looks great on them, I dont think color of clothing means anything anymore when we are adults.

[vickysue]

This day and age I would say let them wear whatever color of shirt they want or just clothes. I myself as a female hate  the color yellow on me and will not wear it at all. I will sometimes wear my pink t-shirt.  in October.

[natashaspy]

absolutely not.  these days there is no real gender lone colors.  my son and i recently did a walk for breast cancer and he proudly wore his pink shirt to show his support.  not one person questioned his sexuality just because he had on pink...nor did we question any of the other men wearing it.
