Pink and Blue

This weekend after we returned from Sarah's birthday celebrations, myself and a couple friends had a conversation about what it would be like if pink were considered a masculine colour, and blue considered a feminine colour.

Of course,we recognized that we'd still be categorizing colours based on gender, however it was indeed an exercise in the absurdity of colour classification based on gender. Yet we were still unable to take the idea of an MLB team wearing pink seriously... this just speaks to the pervasiveness of colour coding.

Anyhow, today while I was doing my usual reading on feministing, I found this
which I just thought was interesting, and at the same time, ironic.

Of course, I fowarded the link to Derek to pass on.
