Celtic Necklace

[Tokos]

It is a triskelion, but the tight Celtic necklace is called a torc.

Look do not let gender stereotypes determine what you wear.
If you like it and it looks good then fucking wear it.
Look at pink, its become a frat boy color now for Christ sakes.

Tough guys wear pink.

I have red hair so pink is right out for me.

Lolwut? It's a triskelion, an ancient Celtic symbol (no relation to Wicca… I've seen them at Bru na Boinne which is 5000 years old)… is it really associated with whips, chains and flagellation!

I know what it is. I said it's similar to a popularly accepted BDSM symbol.

I got bored and was looking on Amazon.com and put in Celtic Pagan things. It came back with alot of celtic spiral necklaces. My first responce was "Uuh, mine!", but then I got to thinking that the only ones I've ever seen wearing them are girls (I'm a boy). Do dudes where them? Just curious what you guys think. Thanks!

(I seem inscure don't I? lol)

IIRC, I've seen many guys wear the Celtic bracelet or torque. Maybe that's more suitable for you. Of course, some guys are known to wear the necklace too so...

What is the symbol?

I guess this is kind of like a plain Celtic Cross denotes nationalist leanings, whereas if it's all flowery and decorated it denotes Christian conviction.

Regardless, Celtic symbols are beautiful and no one should be discouraged from wearing them.

If you want to wear it, wear it.

BDSM? It's a ancient cultural and religious symbol! WTF?

Well, lesbians grabbed the old Minoan labrys, which was the symbol of Greek fascism a few decades back, so...

Also used by black metal people apparently. Fascists… feminists… metalheads… looks like it's quite a democratic symbol really.

I think that you're just kidding anyway, but I was kidding to. I don't think that I've ever worn pink *thinks real hard* . . . nope. I usually wear black myself. Nice color . . . but then again, it isn't a color . . .

Btw, I hate guys that go for the tough-guy masculine attitude and look.

I never understand this thing about equating colors with wether you're man enough or not. If you have worn shades of pink, more power to you.

Theyre all a shade of White...

I think of pink as it's own colour, you know because of boys wear blue girls wear pink....

racist.

You do know that it used to be the other way around? Pink was equated with the color red, color of war, so boys were dressed in pink centuries ago. Girls wore blue, because that was the color of the sky, of soft things. I think the change happened in the late XIX century.

Idk about that, but, i do know that boys were traditionally dressed effeminately before the Victorian era...

As part of this differentiation, there seems to have been an effort to establish characteristic colors for girls and boys. But it took decades to develop a consensus on what those colors were. For years one camp claimed pink was the boys' color and blue the girls'. A 1905 Times article said so, and Parents magazine was still saying it as late as 1939. Why pink for boys? Some argued that pink was a close relative of red, which was seen as a fiery, manly color. Others traced the association of blue with girls to the frequent depiction of the Virgin Mary in blue.

But it is also pointed out, further down the article, that the colors were used interchangeably.

Pink actually is a pretty color now that I think about it . . .
