The Pinkstinks campaign
is calling for a boycott of shops selling girl’s
toys and clothes in the colour pink.
They claim that it nurtures a dangerously narrow mindset
in little girls, teaching them that they should be passive
and pretty.
Really.
Does
the colour black perhaps nurture a dangerously
narrow mindset that teaches us to be mournful,
evil, unhappy, unclean and evil? |
|
Does
white perhaps nurture purity, reverence, cleanliness
and good? |

What about other colours?
