Feminism Feminism (In The Pink)
Feminists want a bright future for women and girls. So a feminist might end up saying to a sexist, “And no, all feminists aren’t dim,” thus illustrating the need for feminism.
“Since at least the 19th century, the colors pink and blue have been used as gender signifiers, particularly for infants and young children. The current tradition in the United States (and an unknown number of other countries) is “pink for girls, blue for boys”. — Wikipedia
However, thanks to feminism, in more recent times there has been a backlash against gendered colours, particularly the association with “pink for girls.”
Simultaneously, feminism has reclaimed the colour pink as a colour of empowerment.
You see, once again, two things can be true at the same time.
Nowadays, women, and men, are happy wearing and having pink items.
Football seems to be leading the way. Currently English and Scottish football has, “grown men running around in pink away kits” (my quote), and previously the Scotland national team’s away kit was pink.
