Men in pink shirts

In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s or earlier. An article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department in June 1918 said: "The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." From then until the 1940s, 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. Since the 1940s, the societal norm was inverted; pink became considered appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century.

Yeh I don't like this, makes them look too feminine

Speaking of which, I seen the most horrific car yesterday, completely pink to the Brim, Pink Body, Pink Interior (Dash etc) Pink Seats, and a 50 year old man in the drivers seat, he was sat in the shop car park

His wife then come out of the shop, got in to the passenger seat and handed the guy the biggest bunch of pink flowers to hold whilst she got in and belted up.

He looked the most un-manly man I have seen in my life.

Pink just doesnt suit men, should be banned
 
I have a hot pink tie, which is OK with some things.

I'm not so keen on the lighter pinks, though.

To be honest, the people I'm really concerned about are the men who wear shirts with collars and cuffs that are a different colour to the rest of the shirt. Hmmm.

I bet they have pack of toy dogs at home (which is probably pink from top to bottom inside and out) that never stop yapping and they've all got really gay names like captain cuddles and snookum wookums.

On another note, I think men can pull off "Salmon pink"

However full on girly girl pink, no way
