Why Do Women Like Pink?
Are women genetically attracted to pink? A new study suggests that perhaps they are.
“We speculate that this sex difference arose from sex-specific functional specialization in the evolutionary division of labour.” You see, her theory is that over the years, women developed a preference for reddish colors because they’re associated with riper fruit and healthier faces. Men, on the other hand, don’t care a lot about colors because as “hunters they just need to spot something dark and shoot it.”
Sorry, I’m not buying this one. Is it more likely that it’s a genetic preference that has been passed down from hundreds of gathering women; or is it more likely that the “pink is for girls, blue is for boys” notion that has been stuffed down our throats for years and years has something to do with it. Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.
For the record, my favorite color is black.
*waits for someone to correct me and say that black is not actually a color*
