In class we have been discussing gender roles, and ways that men and women are classified in their specific gender roles. One stereotypical gender role that seems very obvious is that pink is a color for women to wear. At these two events it was amazing to me to see how many men were wearing pink! It really made me realize how much of an impact Breast Cancer Awareness has made on our nation. Men are proud to wear pink if they are supporting someone they love who has dealt with breast cancer.
The NFL has partnered with the Think Pink! program, and you may have noticed as you watched your favorite team this Sunday, that all the players were sporting pink shoe laces and pink towels. It really makes me proud to see men putting aside their social anxiety about wearing pink and joining the fight against breast cancer!!
Pink is traditionally seen as feminine. I watched football on Sunday and saw the players wearing pink. I think its great that they supported breast cancer and sported the color proudly.
