Why is pink considered feminine when it's just another color?

No more in the existing era.

The color is used by both genders these days - be it architectural designs or apparels.

@sspec yes even crossdressing should be allowed

It's quite a modern thought.

In medieval times pink was considered VERY masculine and denoted courage 😁

It was commercialized like that. Just like blue is for boys

English scientists have seen in this evolutionary roots. In cave times, women were engaged in gathering and were to find ripe fruits of reddish hue in the grass. And the men hunted, and they did not care what color

Scientists around the world can not answer this question ...

According to OpenCulture it was because "Little Lord Fauntleroy" was the rage.....

As has been said pink used to be a boys colour as it was considered closer to fire. Blue used to be a girls colour as it was seen as calm
Makes absolutely no sense to me either way

I think it depends on who you ask to the answer you’ll get. Either way I love pink on men.

Great question btw. 😀

baddog12 · 18-21, M
@baddog12 I wear all pink even my underwear
Maybe because it’s so light.

I don't consider white feminine and distinctly white is lighter than pink ;-)

It was a boys color until the mid 1900's.
