pink is fantastic
…snip…don’t deny your daughter the awesome that is pink just because men are too macho-whatever to rock it! (pink COULD be a gender neutral color, if it wasn’t for guys and their hissyfits. girls seem to have no problem enjoying blue.)
boycotting pink things isn’t going to do her any good. read her more books instead.
We just avoid making it the defining color of her gender.
The thing we take issue with isn’t the color, it’s the pervasive bifurcation of all things childhood into “these are for boys” and “these are for girls”.
And don’t worry about books. She’s got quite a collection already, and there are hundreds more available right here in the house when she’s ready for them. Fiction, philosophy, how-to, art, cartoons (both the art and the how-to), politics, biography, science, religion, psychology—we’ve got her covered.
