Bollocks. In Europe, for example red/pink were the male colours for centuries. Red/ purple was the colour of emperors and other influential men. Red was associated with heat, blood, aggression, the sun, and attracting attention. Plus the dye was extremely expensive to produce. Pink was considered the "little red" ie for boys. Blue, on the other hand, was seen as passive and associated with the night, the moon, and thus as female. That only changed in the early 20th century.
Keep on believing.
Thanks for corroborating my stance that pink is a feminine colour.
Or do you know a lot of males that like to be viewed as 'little boys'?

McNulty wrote:I believe in Freud though many do not - his sexual theories are timeless and, I believe, correct.
For instance:
Women wear pink because subconsciously it attracts males, due to the resemblance of the colour of the labia.
Old people like to live by the sea as it is symbolic of the watery womb, to which they will soon return.
Curls at the end of women's hair attracts males due to its resemblance of pubic hair.
A fast and expensive car is the equivalent of the successful sperm.
What do members of the board make of these theories?
McNulty wrote:Many sports adhere to Freudian analysis, such as soccer.
The scoring of a goal sends men wild, as this is symbolic of the sperm reaching the egg, or at least intercourse, IMO.
Would you agree with that?
McNulty wrote:Not at all- plenty of things can be explained in terms of instinct and intuition. In fact, most psychology and philosophy is like this, or do you claim it all to be bullshit, and that you are more than the greats such as Nietzsche, Freud, Kierkerrgard and the rest?
That would be mighty arrogant if you were to do so.
