I am SOOOO allergic to this pink princess stuff.

My mother (a Math major in college) told me (computer science) to “be useful, not decorative”.
I used the same principle with my daughters. One is an engineer the other is an entomologist (insect scientist). And neither of them wear the color pink!

There is nothing wrong with being attractive and “useful”. Pink is a pretty, happy color, and I wear it. Colors make me happy.

Football players are sporting pink now. At first I was a little upset to see our quarterback with pink accessories on the field but it is for a the cancer cure. As a girl I personally love the color pink. I like the pink and black combination too as it brings me back to my ballerina days.

Be exceptional, not limited. Much better advice. Works for boys AND girls.

Considering your moniker, and IMHO, the Southren/redneck culture does not suppose the two are incompatible... but rather, is pleased when the two exist together... just sayin.

My granddaughter wants everything pink, cowboy boots, tshirts, even a pink rifle to shoot with her grandfather! However she is a blonde-blue-eyed princess. She’s only in first grade, leave the kids alone, quit psychoanalyzing them
