"What's behind 'blue is for boys, pink is for girls'"

In the article, "What's behind 'blue is for boys, pink is for girls'" from The Carolinian, staff writer, Claire Macomson states her opinions on why she has loathed the color pink for so long. She explains that the reason she does not like the color is because of the surrounding politics that society places on it. Such as, "pink is for girls." She continues to explain that society has placed gender connotations on the color as well as the color blue. Blue is for boys and pink is for girls. If any boy wears the color pink he is considered gay, if a girl wears the color blue she is a tomboy.

I feel that this may have been the case years ago, but it is not the case anymore. I feel that men and women alike are able to wear any color under the rainbow without being accused of any sexual orientation. I feel that color has nothing to do with sexuality.
