The insidious apartheid of thinking pink : Comments

By Monica Dux, published 23/11/2010

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

Well, I'd like Ms Dux to know that I'm in the pink too this morning. A red shirt somehow found its way into my whites, so it's pink reggies for a while.

I hope I manage to bear up under the social pressure.

Mothers often let their daughters hair grow really long, but cut the poor boy's hair short. This is a human rights issue.

It's the cutification, or barberification of boys!

Also, girls can wear pants or skirts, but no mothers let their little boys wear skirts, except for anti's mum that is.

So now we have the deskirtification of boys!

The insidious apartheid of skirts!

Houellebecq:"except for anti's mum that is."

Yeah, but she was of Scots descent.

Thankyou for proving how misandrist how society has become.

TPP,

I might have brought them into this thread but it was you who disrespected them. 29 men are killed and you say you are sitting in your 'pink jammies'. You really have no shame.

Poirot,

The women who posted after you prove my point nicely. I point out the dangers men face for their families while women sit at home in their pink jammies and then your fellow travellers go on to belittle and disparage them in a pretty horrible way.

Men do society's dirty and dangerous jobs (even giving up their lives if necessary) while women debate the 'serious' issues like the 'pinkification of girls'. Occasionally, even us men think it would be nice to live the life of frivolity women enjoy - getting all the rights with none of the responsibility - but then at the end of the day I think men are thankful we don't remain children all our lives like women. Someone has to be the adult.

OK Moncia,

Time to 'fess up.

This thread is an experiment. You wanted to see how OLO posters would respond to a nonsense thread.
