Forums → The Tavern → Pink a Girly Color?

I really need to understand their meaning of "appropriate"...

Wikipedia:Pink

I can see how red would be considered more masculine, but pink? You would think they'd go for the darker color rather than the lighter.

pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color

while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary.

Society's perceptions change. Maybe in the future darker colors will be more feminine and lighter colors masculine?

Depends really the Virgin Mary had many aparitions. But then there's the actual Virgin Mary, but the colors that she wore couldn't possibly be known for sure.

no. People say it's girly (btw girly isn't in the dictionary) because lots of little girls like pink as a colour and even if they don't, they are forced too. But once they get older the change colour until they hit black...boom!

Uh this is the Virgin de Guadalupe.

Our lady of Fatima.
I hope I don't fail here.

wait...who is she?

If this works, then there should be a lot of pictures of Our Lady.

Wow that was a double fail, I feel like a total newb. Try again.

i dont think there is such thing as "manly" or "girly" colors. in korea, on each and every korean traditional boy's costume theres the color pink on it

Men usually wear darker colours and women wear bright colours.

Well the Virgin sems to be wearing a lot of blue, as far as I can see she isn't too fond of pink.

Its not girly, I've seen many gays using it in fasion and a part of thier lives.

@Google. Lawl that was sarcasm? Lawl I'm not completely sure there.
