    Gender Question

    Please explain your choice.

    I personally think women/girls tend to be more competitive when men are about.
    Anything a man does a woman wants to do and this is proven in all the sporst taken up by women today from boxing to football to weight lifting.
    Nothing wrong with that of course but I still think some sports are better fitted for men then women and vice versa.

    I picked both, because they are obviously both more competitive than the other.

    Obviously competitive sounds like correctable, and I find girls are more correctable than boys except when they are girls - so why is pink a girl color?

    I have 12 pink shirts, button downs, plain pink, pink with stripes, ping check, linen, oxford cloth, poplin...anyways I like pink shirts. And I also have a keen fondness for females. Maybe the two are linked. I do not however have a dozen females in my closet.

    Ouch I am on your side you know.
    I am glad you do not belief in moeurs of colours life would be extremely dull if we comformed to everything we are told.
    I am trying to say what if a girl does not like pink does that make her a Tom Boy? absolutely not.
    I have not one pink garment apart from my bike lock which a deep pink and comes with a set of pink keys. Now that is a touch of pink chic.
    I like to show it but not wear it.
    I like pink on objects and not clothes for me anyway.
    Nothing wrong with any colour it is just a matter of taste.

    Pure coincidence.

    In former times it was the other way round:
    Pink was the "little red". And red was a strong sign for masculinity. So the boys were dressed in pink.
    Blue was the colour of virginity. So it was for the girls.

    Later they changed it, because they related pink with lovely roses and blue became a colour with a deterrent effect for demons who preferred to steal boys...

    Do you mean pink was chosen out of hat by a complete coincidence?

    Blue was the colour of virginity. So it was for the girls.
    'little red' as in Little Red Riding Hood?
    Could that have sparked the colour?

    Later they changed it, because they related pink with lovely roses and blue became a colour with a deterrent effect for demons who preferred to steal boys...
    This switch is rather strange. Moeurs and cultures are very difficult to shift especially when it comes to colours and people.
    I thought garlic was the deterent for demons.
    Red was a colour to provoke in bullfighting.
    There you go all a bit of a mishmash with colours.
