My bad, I was trying to imply the opposite.

The snicker comment was directed at the observers of the wearer, not the wearer themselves.

I know. I'm saying society, even the people who snicker, only perceive the color as girly within certain contexts (gays and women, for instance).

Not knowing who that is, I must say the costume and gestures are rather lame. Is that their calendar age they have on the left lapel?

Being gay is as abnormal as being left handed and offers about the same justification for acting abnormally.


It's been a hell of a long time since it's been necessary to create a culture that provides safety, security, and freedom for left-handers, or since it's been necessary to proclaim one's pride in one's left-handedness in order to make a point regarding equal treatment under the law. It's not the same thing, and by attempting to argue such, you're either insulting the intelligence of your readers or your own intelligence.


Left-handedness was discouraged until the '50s or '60s over here. The nuns hit my aunt's hand whenever she tried to write with left.

When I grew up (also a southpaw), neither nuns or the hitting happened any more.

Indeed. It's like SBeSF never met Roose Bolton.

He doesn't look like much....but you should be scared of him. Very scared.

I'm stating that no sane man would mock Lord Bolton for wearing pink...unless they first made sure he wasn't on the same continent.

Granted. Unfortunately, I subscribe to the idea that buying people in leaches is intrinsically wrong, so when I'm rockin' my apricot wing-point I have little recourse for instilling fear into my fellow not-quite-grown men.

It's Jay-Z: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdg5uOozY70 (yes, Kanye says dumb shit--"Everybody on my dick, no homo"--seriously??!)

It's probably either an allusion to a sports player or a gang. It could be something else, but that's what a blatant number tends to represent in street culture.

HBO thought that way though. They changed Bolton's colors from pink to black.

I respect your right to disagree. It seems we come from different schools of thought.

Stupid statements, even when sourced among internalized inconsistencies and disquietness, can onoy be cured by harsh sunlight truth and contrarian correction offer. He does, indeed, deserve to be eaten alive. Either he learns how to better articulate his discomfort or he drowns in confusion. Either way, an ignorant voice is silenced.
