Can A Man Use Yama Budo?

[GabrielleDuVent]

Use pink ink, don't use pink ink. Why is pink such a controversial color? Why anyone would care? It is so easy to have an opinion, though (to wit, my own participation in this thread to opine, So what?).

 

Good question. Let's start a discussion on whether a woman can use blue!

 

Also, let us debate on the outcome of ink biology when one mixes a pink ink and a blue ink. (Purple is not the correct answer.)

 

I do wonder what Pilot would say to the OP's question though. Perhaps I should contact their customer service and inquire.

Gender is a flexible word - a social construct, an ideological perspective, a politcal concept - and has been used correctly in this thread.

Why would anyone object to a woman's using blue ink?

My question is, why would anyone want to use pink ink?

[amberleadavis]

Because I like when it pair with orange, purple and yellow for great flowers. OR when I use it for making my business logo.

Because rose is such a pretty colour. It also makes even the gravest of the letters light-hearted.

 

And we've all been told that "BLUE IS BOYS". In fact, when I was at debate camp (oh the memories...), we were explicitly told "BLUE ARE BOYS, PINK ARE GIRLS, DO NOT MAKE PURPLE."

 

In an act of rebellion, I wrote all my drafts in purple. I was such a rebel back then.

Plus, pink makes the boys wink. According to Elton John.

I think any person should use any colour of preference or taste. I do not think the post question makes any sense.

The evolutionary progress of the species is both inconsistent and humorous.

And as this thread shows the evolution of humour is inconsistent to the extent that some appear devoid of its appreciation.

Precisely my point. Yet, reading through this thread, it seems that stating "I dont like this color, I dont want to use it" is akin to stepping into a minefield, as it seems to be automatically assumed that this is due to caving in to societal/peer pressure.

 

The fact that someone simply may not like the color, independent of external conditioning, seems to be an assertion that is too ridiculous to even accept.

 

As for the rest - it's a discussion, which is occasionally known to break out on discussion forums . It'd be pretty dull if we just said "yes, do what you want" and then didnt elaborate any further. Hopefully, being rational adults, it is possible for us to state our opinions & to debate with others, and at the same time accept that everyone is free to do what they want.

Being that one of my favorite rock drummers, Twink (from the Pink Fairies), did a solo album called "Think Pink" I am now inclined to order some of this legendary pink ink and use it to write some rather odd love songs.

Speaking of bands, my favorite is Pink Floyd.

This thread led me to contemplate the consequences of spraying this color over a combat zone. Would the combatants lay down their weapons to debate the possible sexual preference of anyone carrying an object tinted this color? Or would the fighting intensify?

A study shows that the color pink has healing properties, especially for those people going through an emotional trauma. Pink was also used in prison walls to calm aggressive prisoners. If pink is your favorite, you are more of a calm, graceful, loving, and sensitive person. Brighter shades attract youth, high spirits, confidence, action, and fun. More subtle pinks bring blush, sweetness, beauty, tender romance, and unconditional love.
