PINK VS BLUE

Culturally classification of things has been used in trend to make better understanding of things and to get good vision of every commodities that surrounds us.Among several ideas; colors  too  hold a major place in delivering message about certain things like green signifies success( or grass),orange signifies warning (or a fruit orange) and so on.But not only things color are also associated with gender identification.....zzz?? it pops my mind surprisingly ,why the color pink signifies a girl/women and the color blue signifies a boy/men .Does it really make sense?

Not only this ,i have found a trend “Go pink for a cure” especially during breast cancer day to start a campaign to fight against cancer and to raise strong supporter for the event  either by uploading pink T-shirt worn pic  or  half shown  pink roped bra  pic by a girl .Why can’t we wear blue and still start this campaign ?Why can’t we act jointly?

Actually this trend of colour stereotype starts from the early day and how parents choose to nurture their children, in which culture and environment and in which mentality. Girls are seem to be dressed in pink while boys aren’t given any choices for pink. Pink vs Blue –barbey doll vs rocket /gun  and  fairy tale vs action/thrilling stories ;the way in which we act with our kids from their early age leave a huge impact and that becomes their  vision to perceive any situation and our behaviour towards them actually create their vision towards life and society. Why a young girl is always told that she need to get a good, highly paid man to have a happy life?  Instead of this, they should be told to be capable enough to create the reason of their own happiness by themselves and also for others, right? Why isn’t she told that she too can earn  as high as men..?..

I have also visited kid’s zone where  mostly pinked colored item are found in girl section and boy’s section  mostly filled with blue colored products or except pink colored items. One of my friend  boy , wore a pink T-shirt  one day  and he was named pinkly after that  by my other friends and it makes me laugh .How can someone be so ignorant being well educated...?

With the modernization in every generation, new meaning of masculinity and femininity has been modernized but still not in broad sense. Although “ Beauty” doesn’t belong to girls  only;even a  boy can be called beautiful and “Handsome” doesn’t  belong to boys only;even a girl can be called  handsome .Beastliness has always been used only in a sense of tenderness ,soft and gracefulness but it too signifies self esteem, confidence , capability to flaunt own’s personality ,will power and self empowerment. Actually It is the light of heart and light belongs to everyone. While” handsome” signifies skilful ,impressive ,elegant or with noble character .Both these has strong touch with Divine power and inner capabilities.

But as notion,pink does  signify” beauty” but not powe/handsomeness “and blue signifies power but not “beauty “.As we go through the composition of color ;we can easily note that pink is deried from red color that is associated with power and masculinity and is strong color in itself and blue being a graceful color  is associated with beauty and softness .Then why so gender segregation baesd on color?
