Pansies. Lip gloss. My Little Pony. We think "pink," we think stuff like this. We overlook strong pink things, like Rizzo (bad ass Pink Lady); singer Pink (bad ass musician with the hair of a proud cockatiel); quartz (bad ass rock that can sometimes-that's right-be pink). Pink connotations are knee-jerk, gender-muddled, and usually condescending.
