Pinks All Grown Up

  Personally, pink is not even close to being one of my favorite colors. However, I hate it when women and men are demeaned for loving this color. Out of all of the colors out there, pink is one of the most gendered colors. And it tends to be associated with femininity and softness. Although, no color should be gendered, there is nothing wrong with being associated with femininity and softness. Softness and femininity don't equate to weakness. My little sister's favorite might be pink but her favorite color in no way defines who she is and the wide variety of things she's into. My sister loves action figures and video games just as much as she loves her dolls and tea-time. In that same way, women and men can love the color pink and be nurturing and kind without being perceived as inferior.
