For reasons that I cannot fathom, the color pink, is associated with femininity. Should men choose to wear the shade, they are looked at askance and in extreme cases, their sexual orientation is questioned.
I wonder why ? When I was growing up, pink was a pretty good color to have on you and perfectly straight people could be found in pink suits.Not today, though!
The good news is that, over the last couple of weeks, both Roger Federer and Nadal have been swatting the tennis ball in pink. Now you cannot question their manliness can you?
The genesis of the issue seems to be World War 2, Nazi concentration camps, where homosexual men were marked by a pink triangle apex down. Today this has become a symbol of gay rights!
In an era where we shun discrimination and embrace diversity, petty prejudices seem quite quixotic.
Folk, what's your take?
