By Monica Dux, published 23/11/2010

There something disquieting about the sheer ubiquity of the pinkification of our girls.

cornflower,

I agree. Women dress for themselves not for men. But when you wrote 'androcentric social system' are you sure you didn't mean 'misandrist social system'?

After all, it was 29 men who were killed in a NZ mine doing hard, dirty and dangerous work. Just 29 of the thousands killed each year doing work that women almost never do. Yet all feminists can do is carry on about babies wearing pink clothes.

Really, it would be nice if feminists would just grow up.

And then even people like you call this an androcentric society. Yet those miners almost certainly had insurance which means their families will live very comfortably for the rest of their lives. I'm sure that's how those men would want it but it really shows the difference between the sexes. Men work in dirty and dangerous jobs to support their families happy in the knowledge that if something happens to them their families will be looked after while women just write endless stories about women.

Hahaha.

You want a pi$$ing contest over which gender is more hard done by in the pink thread?

Huggins I can't confrim or deny your suspicions about Pink.

dane,

On the contrary - it was you who sought to utilise this tragedy as a drum to beat out your usual anti-women rhetoric.

I was only laughing at one man dane, who used them and disrespected them by bringing them into this thread.

That’s Ms Dux to you Anti.

I am sitting here in my pink jammies. :P
