After lunch I gave the bag to my son and passed along my friend's words, to which my husband responded, "Trevor is man enough to handle pink." Suddenly, Evan, my 7-year-old, popped up and, brandishing the pink ice pop that he was eating, said, "I'm man enough to handle pink, too!" We all got a chuckle out of that but the even bigger chuckle came when, without missing a beat, Evan turned to my husband and in all seriousness asked, "Dad, are you man enough to handle pink?"
LOL!
(And for the record, the answer is yes. My husband loves his pink ties.)

Back in the 80s I wore a lot of gray/silver shirts with pink ties to church. It even showed through my confirmation robe. :)
Dan, after this little episode my daughter told us that according to what she has read pink used to be associated with boys and blue with girls and that somewhere along the way it changed. Will have to go look that up.
Here are a few links I found on the question:
