Sorry to be crude, but there is a very non-arbitrary reason for pink to be associated with females (and to a lesser extent, blue with males). In fact I always assumed this was indeed the cause for the association - I'm very surprised to learn it used to be reversed.

You're excusing yourself for being crude? How is this crude? > Sorry to be crude, but there is a very non-arbitrary reason for pink to be associated with females (and to a lesser extent, blue with males). In fact I always assumed this was indeed the cause for the association - I'm very surprised to learn it used to be reversed. So what is the non-arbitrary reason? The one mentioned in the article?

You seem smart enough to have figured out the implication, but I believe s/he meant that the inner portion of the labia and opening to the vagina are pink; the word pink is also used as a slag term for the female genitalia.

- meepmorp 13y agoThis part: > Sorry to be crude, but there is a very non-arbitrary reason for pink to be associated with females (and to a lesser extent, blue with males). I thought the unstated crude, very non-arbitrary reason the grandparent poster aluded to was clear, but spelled out what I thought it to be in case I'm either wrong or someone didn't draw the inference.
- pajaroloco 13y agoMy bad, I thought you were sourcing the article.
