Conservatives claim J. Crew turns your kids gay

why do these people exist..

In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s or earlier. 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. - from Wikipedia.

What's funny is some of these old men who make up the modern, cranky, "conservative" base inevitably grew up wearing pink as it was considered manly for 20+ years during their youth. They should think about that the next time they're secretly jerking a guy off in the bathroom stall of a truck stop.

Pink (or "pank", as I said it) was my favorite color as a toddler and, while I've never exactly become a ladies man, I'm certainly not gay.

Funny how conservatives want the government out of their lives, yet they want to peep in everyone's bedroom.


"Conservative" doesn't mean what it used to mean. I consider myself conservative as relating to government. What I mean by this is that I want the minimal necessary government. I don't support nanny laws, I don't support big-brother laws, and I prefer to have my safety threatened than to have my rights and freedoms taken away to protect me.

Today's "conservatives" are strictly social conservatives: They want to prevent things from changing by passing laws making change illegal.

Thank you for keeping me from being the one that had to say it.

Here's a photographic thesis project based on the gender construct of color preference.

I know I have a pretty radical view on the topic, but someone standing up & defending the gender binary is incredibly off-putting. "Trappings of gender identity" are exactly that, just trappings.

"Trappings" of anything should be abandoned. Be what you are, not the social construct of what you're told you are.>> ^xxovercastxx:
