Often I think back to that one April afternoon, my English teacher and I were chatting while he locked up for the day, as we often did. One of the most striking things about this specific conversation is that we were discussing favorite colors and he asserted that he said that pink was a weak color psychologically. I was stunned by this because was pink not the color of a garment so stained by blood that it leaves its remnants? I never got to see a follow up to that conversation, as although he said we would cover in class the next day, we never ended up doing so, thus I never got to hear his explanation. The idea of pink being a cowardly color was fascinating to me because I feel like it has to originate from misogyny. Seemingly, pink itself is just a color, there aren't really anything that would cause it to be an inherently weak color. Someone could raise that its mixture with white causes it to be considered weaker but that isn't exactly true because that perception of pink is relatively recent. I believe the turn of considering pink a feminine color sprung from the effects of women trying to gain power and using it. Like skirts, which used to be worn by men because it allows freedom of movement, when women began to use pink, it began to be seen as a feminine color afterwards (08/27/2024). — Mars ᓚᘏᗢ |
