Pink think

"Pink think is a set of ideas attitudes about what constitutes proper female behavior,..." - Pink think, Lynn Peril

Girls are born female, femininity is an acquired trait. The thought of femininity being taught to us, is actually not one of new origin. As we are kids (young females) we are given dolls to practice taking care of a baby just like mommy, and we are given kitchen sets along with tea parties, stuffed into dresses or skirts and given play makeup to make us into "women" that could be wantable by men.

Hail the V commercial by Summers eve was pulled because it brought a "private" matter into a public light but commercials for male sex enhancements run nearly all the time and aren't pulled. Furthermore Viagra and other male sex enhancements are covered by insurance but birth control isn't.

As a female there's so many double standards held to women instead of men. If a guy has sex with a ton of girls he's a legend, but if a female is to do so she is suddenly a slut, a whore.
It is preposterous to think that a women would even want to have sexual relations outside of pleasing her husband.

I relate this to my own life. My sister, who has been dating her boyfriend for over 2 years now, moved in with him a little after a year if I remember correctly. My mother made a comment to me one day that she didn't approve of what my sister was doing, it was unheard of a couple living together without being married, so why is it allowed now? Society is an ever changing hierarchy and my generation, and that of my sisters are now more accepting of relationships without the marriage certificate. In fact more children are had out of wedlock rather than in a marriage.

We visit after WWII, after working class women's husbands return from the war what is supposed to happen? Do women return to the home and retake the positions they held before instead of enjoying their steady paycheck and supporting themselves. Women are told that being sent home from work (being fired) you get NEW appliances that free up your time to take care of other household things.

It is necessary to address that these are thoughts developed BEFORE the second half of the 20th century and that we still face them today
