To acknowledged that these associations exist is not to validate them, of course, but to simply understand them as short-hand references to gender.<BR/><BR/>Okay, given that connection, what does it mean to be 'Bluer Than Pink'? On this, I don't really know, but my hunch is that it refers to the author of the blog having a blue approach (read, more masculine) rather than a pink approach (read, more feminine). Just what it means to be 'more masculine' or 'more feminine' is highly subjective.<BR/><BR/>Another possible reading is that the author is rejecting the 'pink' view of the world, which I read as a very stereotyped, passive, cutesy, submissive version of womanhood. And if so, then all power to her!Ari Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077102567908140945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312920.post-1127050986714965392005-09-18T23:43:00.000+10:002005-09-18T23:43:00.000+10:00Is it the name of a song?Is it lyrics?Is it the name of a song?<BR/>Is it lyrics?Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893892967960515246noreply@blogger.com
