thread on how i hid my love of Pink during my childhood because I was dumb:

So , my favorite color , as no one have guessed because i never wear it and never draw with it lmao , is blue . I love blue . But I also do love Yellow , and Pink , They are my three favorite colours.
When I was a kid , I claimed i hated pink , because Oooh little Ely breaking Gender roles by liking blue because "blue is for boys and pink is for Girls"
Little did I know that It was the dumbest thing I ever did. Because that was just me basically hating on "feminine girls"
By hating Pink to break Gender codes , i was actually Reinforcing them By believing That there are colors for boys and colors for girls .
It is such a small thing , but i& #39;ve seen a lot of posts on internet , usually short comics or illustrations -
I& #39;m sure you& #39;ve already seen at least one of them too , the classical "Me vs the other girls" . It& #39;s actually just making fun of Other people because of who they are . Destroying gender roles isn& #39;t about doing the exact opposite of them no matter what.
It& #39;s about accepting everyone as they are. It would be really dumb to think that to destroy genderroles , you have to force every man to wear dresses and Every woman to wear jeans , or , in my case , to hate a fucking color lmao
I have no idea where this thread is going It was just about how dumb i was but now it& #39;s deep lmao , now I just Appreciate whatever the fuck i want without the fear of being "too girly"
Thanks for reading my nonsense lmao
