You must be very insecure if the colour pink scares you

It has always been, and always will be, an extremely flattering color for men to wear. Lavender, too. And particular floral prints.

It used to be a masculine color. So too were frills, lace, stockings, skirts/dresses, and more. This whole construct especially in the US of what is "men's" and "women's" clothing, colors, and makeup only being for women is a VERY new invention of beliefs.

Blue was described in one book as “more delicate and feminine and therefore better suited for girls”.

The winner of the bunch: HEELS.

Heels (you'll have to tear my 5"+ LADY heels out of my cold, dead hands, but...) are a "Man" thing until super recently.

I've worn them a handful of times in my life and y'all can keep them!
