As little girls grow up they will come to realize that pink is too girly. I mean, in a world full of green and blue, girls don't want to be girls. They want to feel like guys. Every girl has felt this before. Being told that its not ok to be girly, that boys like the tom girls. So there I was, getting out of the car in 3rd grade with my green shirt and boy shorts, all because I was told its weird to wear dresses to school. I would always put Green over pink. So why do little girls feel like they need to change to fit in. Its simple, they just want to stop seeming different. Girls want to stop being seen as weak, but soon they come to realize that maybe its okay. Maybe they don't have to be green, maybe pink is ok. Girls become teens and those teens just want to be kids again. They wear pink Pjs and go to the park, they want to run in the rain and color with crayons.
Its okay to like whatever color you want but I think its more then just hating the color pink as a kid. I think there's more to it.

in spanish (at least my spanish), the color pink is also an adjective for pink colored things. "rosado", with the suffix -do, something like "pinked".
some people use "rosa" (without the suffix), rosa is also a name and it also means rose.
there's also a verb, "rozar", "él roza su piel": "he grazes their skin". it's beautiful and is usually pronounced the same.
This is super interesting!!/Gen I'm gonna pin this so others can see too ><

Reading this simple short paragraph really holds so much truth and reasons to why being feminine as a young girl felt wrong. We from a young age we're already seeing what the world wanted and as we get older we start to put ourselves first instead of others. Really this was perfect:))
Thank you so much! When I was writing this I was in a mood, so its one of my more powerful pieces of writing.

I agree, the hatred for pink is more than just disliking the color. It's because the color is considered girly, and it's a stereotype and pushed in society, that girls like pink. In my brain as a child, to like pink was to let people see me as a stereotypical girl, and therefor treat me as one. Treat me like I was soft, weak, emotional, and every other girl stereotype. I never liked when people presumed things about me just because I was a girl. I wanted to be treated like a person.
Now I enjoy pink as a color, but my favorite color is violet, and has been since I was a kid.
THIS.
