Apparently mentioning the fact that sluts rely on the same source of power as feminists is offensive.

I should have realised...

Very interesting. Yes pink is powerful.

When I was a very naive sweet 16 & never been kissed, yes really as many were in the 50s, my mad aunt sent me a shirt for my birthday. Yes it was a pale pink.

The only entertainment in a country town in those days of six o'clock closing, was the pictures, or the Saturday night dance. Now a shirt was a shirt to me, so I wore my new pink one to the dance.

The effect was amazing. A number of the "in" girls, the beautiful ones, who had only talked to me when they wanted help with their maths, were all over me. A couple of them actually led me to the area of brightest light to make sure the shirt was really pink.

Apparently I had made some sort of statement with that shirt, & had suddenly become one of the in people. I reckon it took 6 months or so for them to decide, I think sadly, that I really wasn't one of them, & throw me back.

I was no longer quite as naive, & had certainly been kissed, but I was not "in" crowd material.

That pink shirt had had quite an effect on my growing up, which was just as well, as in just a few months school was out, & life got serious.

Then it was uni, the navy, then uni again. The folks moved to the big smoke, & I never got back to town to see how those in people made out. Pity, it would be interesting. However that shirt sure proved to me that pink is powerful.

As always, the people with funding are shoving their Politically Correect/feminist spin down our throats... the author is a professional feminist (law).

Meanwhile, the majority of normal tax-paying intelligent people struggle to have the truth told - sadly limited to sniping at articales like this one. Writing stuff like this takes time and resources... something that a professional gets paid to do, but normal people struggle to get time for.

So the people with funding get to tell the world that way the way the world *should* be, and the normal people slowly get brainwashed.

Who funds these bigots? We do. Our taxes pay for these professional feminists.

There is NO funding for the other side... for the truth, for the views that the majority believbe in...

I know as a fact that there are zero people paid to promote a balance against this feminist dogma. Zero. Not fair is it?

I actually find men in pink shirts quite attractive. I can't see anything wrong with them wearing pink and I really don't know why these people are carrying on about pinkstinks. Must be something they've got a bee in their bonnet about.

I do however question why men have to say don't play like a girl to their fellow males and put women down as a show of manhood. Couldn't they say something less sexist, like "come on you can do a better job than that."

Aristocrat
<men are afraid of pink because they are oppressed by women into believing it is a feminine colour. The matriarchy society has exploited men by forcing shame on them for wearing pink, whilst at the same time women are free to wear any colour with impunity. This is sexist.>

On the contrary Aristocrat, it is men who seem to need to renounce all things female to somehow prove their manhood. Comments like mentioned above "oh don't be a girl stop crying." It is more likely men who would think you were suspect for wearing a pink shirt than women.

Vanna
<You are correct. Almost every aspect of the clothes of the modern woman is sending out sex signals.

EG. Lipstick is suggestive of engorged female sex genitals, low cut dresses advertise that the modern woman is actually female, wearing high heel shoes pushes out the breasts and the buttocks at the same time etc.

In fact, almost nothing worn by the modern woman has much constructive purpose, except for sending out sex signals.>

I agree with your above statement Vanna.

However It is still pretty hard to hide the fact that a woman is a woman even in more conservative clothes, short of wearing the black sheets worn by some cultures which seems to me to be taking things to the extreme. Most men are still very aware that a young woman is a woman even when wrapped up in a sari like the Indian women or something similar with the African women. In fact rapes are much worse in Africa. They wear village clothing which doesn't include high heels and low cut dresses etc like the Western women. Makes no difference to the men being attracted to them. But I do concede your point that some of the outfits I've seen particularly on young teenagers are over the top in their shortness under the bottom and their lower cut upper sections. I notice that a lot of these girls are rather young though and I suspect they are easily led by magazines and celebrities

I've stated this before on OLO.
Feminist=frustrated, envious, male-hating, insipid, non-sensical, ignorant, stupid, tart.
Why on earth can't females be women & males men ? Women want to be men, dark people want to be light & vice versa, blonds want to be brunette, straight haired people want curls...
Do we really need exceptionally bad economic times again for some people to wake up to themselves ? Is it any wonder we're going down the shute ? On one hand mankind is making huge technological advances yet on the other hand a huge number of people are becoming increasingly senseless.
