Fun fact time: many of my old acquaintances still make joking comments whenever they see me wearing pink, because as a child (and honestly pretty much right up to high school) I would refuse to associate with any pink objects. 
It wasn’t because I didn’t like pink, it was because since I appeared female I was supposed to/ it was immediately assumed that I did and therefore it pissed me the ever-loving fuck off. I was ashamed to like it, which is terrible because pink is an awesome color. But when you shove it down young girls throats it gets really old, really fast. 
Give the child the fucking rainbow, and if they pick pink, it’s not because they are female and/or effeminate, it’s because they like the color pink. 

THIS.

Gosh this

It’s kind of amazing as I consider myself an open minded, fuck-the-rules type of guy, but I, too, seem to be culturally brainwashed to be a male who never uses the color pink.  It’s one of those, “there are some things that as a man you just don’t do” type of things.
I suppose that if it were a more important issue I would make a conscious effort to change it internally, but with all the things on my plate and with all the things currently wrong with the world, sexual bias against the color pink does not loom very large on my radar right now.  ~ Steve
