Dress them in plaid then. Just to totally screw them up. And that's just another reason to believe that Korea hasn't modernized its thinking. Boys and men still wear pink.

My four year old likes me to dress in pink - though he refuses to own or associate with the colour himself because 'that's a girl's colour.'

The other day he got annoyed when I started dressing in green. "No Mummy!! Wear the pink dress. I like you to wear pink, Mummy. I want you to wear the pink dress!"

That article is a bunch of hogwash. Girls like pink and a lot of them like horse... Maybe lesbians like the color brown and flanel shirts.

Just some shit started by someone with a brain fart.

I read somewhere that pink was originally a colour for boys and blue was for girls. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I read it.

I was doing a lesson on "favorite" to a small class of grade three students and asked one girl what her favorite color was. She was wearing a pink shirt with pink pants, pink socks, had a pink bag and even a pink ribbon in her hair. Her answer was: blue. Wondering if she understood I pointed out her pink clothing to which she became a bit teary eyed and said her mother put the color on her. She wants blue but her mom wants her to wear pink. I changed the topic before she could burst into tears.

I had the same thing with one of my students, she wore nothing but pink and has pink pencils, erasers etc but almost started crying when i said her favourite colour was pink, it turned out it was blue too

I've got a student who wears the same pink shirt with the same pink pants every single day. It sorta makes me smile because there was this red plaid jumper that I insisted on wearing nearly every day when I was her age, which was eventually handed down to my sister who also insisted on wearing it every day. That thing must have been made of steel wool.

We should do a study. Dress up a bunch of kids in only one colour all the time.

My vote is that the all black clothes would be the most screwed up. For some reason I think the yellow clothed kid would be the second most screwed up.

The black clothed kid would become evil and the yellow clothed kid would be too happy and I don't want to even think about what would happen to the purple kid.

My daughter insists on pink pretty much everyday. Some lefty would come along and tell me I'm a bad parent ...

Hot lesbians are cool.

The other kind, not so much.
