I hate pink. I especially hate that it's associated with my gender. And I REALLY hate that the boy's toy aisles are a variety of colors and toys while the girl's toy aisle are generally all pink and all domesticated crap.

I wish women's groups would adopt a stronger, more powerful color - like red - and tell advertisers to dump the pink shit.

Edited to add:

They ARE red (and green). Cool:

and yeah, I wouldn't mind finding a pair, too.

Right now I'm tastelessly attired in 7 year old sandals that are the only ones to fit my swollen feet properly.
