Shrink it and pink it, that’s the ‘formula for appealing to women’. B/c we’re all dainty and shit.
Don’t you worry about that OtterBox, slap some Hello Kitty stickers on it and no one will notice the color.
But don’t you dare even think to ask for pics!
@kayaker: Just change your name to Sue. That, plus a pink Otter Box or whatever, will help to make you strong! 
For $50 that pink box had better be ‘full release’.
You can get my box wet.
Goodnight.
It’s a non-sex-specific color in Thailand. In fact, it’s the color of anyone, such as myself, who was born on a Tuesday. (Each day of the week has its own color.) That’s why the school color of Chulalongkorn University is pink, because King Chulalongkorn, for whom the school was named, was born on a Tuesday.
Burgundy’s fine if it’s a pale pink. If it’s a stronger pink, pair it up with a black suit and a black tie.
(Male, straight, only white and black business shirts but I do have a pink tie and a couple of pink t-shirts - only one of which has a Hart Foundation logo on it).
Hell yeah.
In fact, you have a massively powerful personality detector in your pocket. People who are secure in themselves and don’t really care about your sexuality one way or the other won’t mention it. Everyone else will.
(Why yes, I do own a pink sweat suit 
)
This. And if you’re man enough, you even eat quiche.
I can’t take Otterbox seriously when their iPhone cases have a hole FOR THE APPLE LOGO.
Side note; when I met Ken Shamrock years ago, he was driving a 1957 pink Cadillac. I assume that anyone who knew who he was knew better than to make any snide comments about it, and anyone who didn’t know would find out the hard way soon enough.
Yep, agree that is dumb.
I never understood that thing about quiche. It’s a pie. A bacon and egg pie. With cheese.
I think it’s the word itself and how it sounds when you say it.
From the article:
“The more you individualize clothing, the more you can sell,” Paoletti says.
There’s your answer in a nutshell.
Come to think of it, I make a leek & swisschard tart and “tart” sounds kinda “quiche-y”.
Bacon and eggs with cheese – very manly. Turning your your bacon, eggs, and cheese into a delicate French pastry – not manly.
It’s like painting your rottweiler’s toenails or covering your mancave with throw pillows or using doilies on your workbench – not manly.
Take off your skirt you quiche eating tart and we’ll let you join the rest of the straight male population when/if you replace that pink phone case with a black one. Until you do (and post proof) in my head I’m calling you Kate. And ferchrissake stop saying “otterbox”. It’s a goddamn phone case!
True story - I got a pink Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 5 last Fall, and received a LOT of shit at work from it - because I was still presenting as a boy. Co-workers, clients, random people I met would furrow their brows and declare “a pink iPhone? Really? Really???” Men and women would make a point about it. One time, at the start of an internal meeting, one of my assistants made a crack about my phone, and I finally lost my cool and mildly dressed them down about paying attention to the job and not about people’s phones.
This continued on for some time, until I came out as a transwoman, and transitioned to female. Suddenly…my phone is “cute.” Other women see my phone and say “oh, that’s a pretty color!” And men are completely silent on the color, and if they notice the case at all, it’s just to say “oh, where can I get a heavy-duty case like that?”
Female privilege - the right to have or wear any color you damn well want to, as long as it coordinates. There is no color a woman can wear that will lead people to speculate that she’s a muff-diving lesbian (plaid being a possible exception, but you also have to have other qualifiers, such as a Subaru, a Labrador with a bandana around its neck, a fondness for Heineken, etc.) But men…I’ve seen men teased to despair at work over being “ghey” for wearing pink, powder blue, green, or even dove grey.
Well that makes me feel a whole lot better!!!
