the color pink is literally rape

This is a total misread of the "pink phenomenon".

Girls have exclusivity on the color pink. They can get toys and clothes of any other color but pink is reserved for girls. If a girl wears a green shirt no one says to the parent "Why are you dressing your girl in green?".

Boys on the other hand are locked out of pink. If you dressed a boy in pink then there are some people that may judge you or your son.

This is like having exclusive access to a country club and then claiming oppression because you have this privilege.

I despise pink because to me it represents oppression.

You heard it here everyone, time to dismantle the color pink, as it is now a patriarchal force of oppression towards women. /s

EDIT: Threw in a /s for safekeeping.

She brought up an interesting point about Smurfette, though.

Boys are Brainy, or Architect, or Doctor, and girls are... Smurfette.

This reminded me of the Girl Writes What video where she talked about women being human beings, but men being reduced to human doings.

One side of the issue is that boys can be anything they want, but girls are first and foremost girls. But the other side is that women are people, while men are their professions.

Just thought that was interesting

Nothing left to whine about, so this.

Interestingly enough, the reason boys were supposed to be wearing pink in the old days is because it was associated with strength, while blue was considered to be dainty and delicate. So her complaint is that girls have the colour that means they are strong.........

I don't think I really need to finish that line of thought for anyone, do I?

What single, limiting color is marketed to boys and men that they cling to for dear life, that they use to advertise and feel secure about their own gender,

Says it all

Those poor women
