Pink Power

The visitors’ locker room in the University of Iowa’s stadium is all pink. It was originally done to psychologically subvert the opposing team. Wonderful idea.

Recent remodeling however has brought this situation to light, and some people are not amused:

Critics say the use of pink demeans women, perpetuates offensive stereotypes about women and homosexuality, and puts the university in the uncomfortable position of tacitly supporting those messages.

Now, if you ask me, it’s perpetuating a stereotype of the color pink! What’s wrong with that?

The only person-related stereotype being perpetuated here is that civil-rights-type lawyers are opportunistic and self-righteous.
