I thought pink was synonymous with femininity
So Harriet Harman is using pink buses for her woman to woman campaign which is quite understandable because pink is generally thought of as a feminine colour just as blue is thought of as a masculine colour. When you go to visit your friend who just had a female child in the hospital do you buy them pink balloons because you think the baby will grow up to be a bimbo? The pink ribbon is the international symbol for breast cancer awareness because that is a disease synonymous with women. What I don't understand is the motive of those trying to make an issue of the colour of the buses I believe her objective is to canvass WOMEN who are eligible to vote irrespective of social, racial or educational pedigree. Using the pink buses is in my opinion just laying emphasis on the theme of the campaign for those who haven't noticed WOMAN TO WOMAN. Why are people are taking the time to downplay her effort at trying to encourage more women to exercise their voting rights?.
