This week at preschool is their colors review so the kids get to wear their favorite color to school. I sent s/o to the store for a pink shirt for our son who loves pink. He came home empty handed...I asked why, I was just there a few days ago and there were tons of pink shirts. He said he didn't get our son a pink shirt because "all the pink shirts had bows and flowers and were girly".....Um, yeah...even with out bows and flowers it's still going to be a PINK shirt. LOL
At least he's fine with the boy wearing a plain pink shirt...I just don't see how bows and flowers make it any more girly...it got me picturing a pink shirt with dump trucks and race cars, would hat be more "boyish"? LOL

I don't know if it is too late, but in the future, you could take a plain white t-shirt and dye it pink.

LOL I thought of that too but s/o had no clue what clothing dye was or where to look for it...if you want something done right, you just have to do it yourself!

Hey foxyfire! Well, how about doing a tie dye shirt that is pink and red? The color scheme goes back to the gender roles, and all that. It depends on each society and culture. However, how about making a shirt that is pink? And how about not buying it? I think that pink shirts will be in the girl section, therefore that is why your significant other said "all the pink shirts were girly". I don't know any man who would want to wear, for example, a pink dress. However, I am glad that you all found a pink T-Shirt ;).
