I have come into work in a bright pink T-shirt.  The lads in the warehouse all say I look gay.  I thought that the asscoiation between pink and femininity/effeminacy was long gone.  Are they living in the Dark Ages or am I being naive?

You're being naive
Title: Opinions please
Post by: smurfboy on January 17, 2005, 09:57:21 am

I don't want to sound like I'm stereotyping, but the lads who work in our warehouse would probably say exactly the same thing judging by the banter I normally hear coming from there. What I'm trying to say (without inadvertently calling everyone who works in a warehouse as a neanderthal!) is that traditional, 'blokey', beer-swilling, dart-throwing blokes might still think pink is 'a bit gay', but a lot of men are perfectly happy to wear pink and don't associate it with effeminacy.


 We're all happy for you to stay pink Bounty!

That's exactly how I would describe our blokes here.  Thanks for the support Smurfboy.

Smurfboy expressed it much better than I did.  I only meant that you were being naive if you expected joe public to share your much more enlightened views.  And if you're going to wear pink (and why not indeed) definitely go for the bright variety, not that apologetic 'barely there' pink!

My dad always told me never to trust a man who wears pink, lilac or lemon.

Yes, and I'm sure that at the time that was sound information given in good faith.  But we've moved on and I know I'm comfortable with my sexuality and if someone thinks I'm gay cos i'm wearing a pink T-shirt that's their problem.

Men in pink? It's a generational thing. Older people are more likely to equate pink with effeminateness. Personally, I don't like to see men in pink, not because I think it looks gay, but because it's just ingrained in my culture - like i don't like to see older women dressed up too young.


Anyway, what's wrong with being gay??

Women are soft and fluffy and smell of roses.  Men are hairy and tough with willys.  That's what's wrong with being gay.

It should be men and women together.  Except for lesbians like Tatu - that's OK.

I don't think pink on a man is wrong but I think there are opinions attached to it like what has been disgusted.


My boyfriend wouldn't wear pink, I know that for sure!

There's nothing wrong with being gay, but if you're not gay you probably don't want people to think you are.

I get slated at work for wearing anything other than black or navy.  I normally get away with red and I don't like green anaway.  But peach, pink, maroon, magenta or coral are all considered gay by the lumpen workers.

I have a friend who is obsessed with pink boots. She is very much a 'girlie girl' and if I go shopping with her, she invariably squeals with delight at the sight of a pair, and I have to remind her she already has 32 pairs exactly the same.

 Indeed you are correct. Grundies (as in Reg Grundy, the Australian TV producer) are underwear.
