THE color pink — at least the bright shade that has been adopted by feminists and that unfortunately is so prevalent in mainstream children’s clothing today — has become politically symbolic.

It stands for Girl Power.

It stands, at least in the minds of some of us, for self-glorification.

It stands for socialism and the expansion of the State.

It’s a small thing, and admittedly it won’t change the world. But try to avoid this once happy and cheerful color in your daughter’s clothing. Pink, used to nauseating excess in last weekend’s Women’s March, is normally identified with femininity, at least in the West. (In Japan, it has a masculine association, symbolizing warriors fallen in battle.) It’s a clever trick because the last thing these agitators are protecting is femininity.

Pink has also come to be dominant in manufactured clothing for girls in recent decades. The more masculine women are encouraged to become, the more they adopt certain forms of outwardly extreme femininity.

A Sea of Pink, a Ruined Color

In addition to using pink as the color of the woman’s color revolution, their knitted hats, while they look quaint, also have two squared off points on the top that mimics horns. It completes the effect. How appropriate.

That’s a good point.
