Pink

A while a go my little cousins favorite color was pink. And every time we talked about it his dad would get all upset, because aperentely pink is a girly color, and he didn't want his son to be girly. But why is it that pink is considered a girl color, and why do some men think it is bad to like pink? I see nothing wrong with guys who like the color pink. It doesn't make them any less manly. Pink is not really that girly of a color. It is just that society has labeled it a color made just for girls. But really what makes a color like blue or green more masculine then pink. It doesn't really make any sense. What makes pink a girly color is the preconceptions that were but into our heads when we were little. Take my cousin for example when he was younger he didn't see anything wrong with the color pink it was just another color. As he has grown up though he has completely flipped. He doesn't like pink because it is a girly color, and to be a boy he can't like pink. If his father wouldn't have discouraged him, or if others wouldn't have told him that pink was a girl color he would still like it. But he was influenced by what others think, and this has caused him to change his mind. Society puts ideas into our minds, and tries to change the way we think. We shouldn't give in. We should all like things because we can, and not let anyone else change our minds for us. Pinks isn't really a girly color it is just like blue and green. And it shouldn't matter if any guy likes it. Those who believe pink is a girly color and wont wear it because of that our wrong and should broaden their horizons. Plus what is wrong with being girly. When any guy says that pink is a girly color, and that they can't wear it I find it very offending. What makes being a guy better than being a girl. But that is another blog for another day.
