The pink ear muffs were decidedly "girly" because not only of its color (pink) but its attached ribbon was a nice touch.
I realized that unless someone said something, he had no problem with them. No one said a word.
I could only think that years ago, someone may have said something to him or me that boys do not wear pink, especially ear muffs that are fluffy and have a bow on them.
People are now use to males wearing pink. Men have pink shirts, ties and T-shirts. Pink no longer relates to gender. Even with the bow, it appears that those ear muffs, on a boy, do not bother people.
That's certainly true about colors. When I was in management with that "little, tiny" local airline I wore pink shirts a lot. In fact all the shirts I wore were soft pastels, pinks, blues and greens. I didn't even own a white shirt. Only one person ever mentioned it and she was complimentary.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in the 1960's and 1970's, pink was a no go on males. Anytime I showed a hint of femininity, adults would correct me. I am so glad that is disappearing. For me, once my parents knew my secret, they and their adult friends kept me in check.
