Pink icing, Blue icing – do you care?
So our beloved Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood of Great British Bake Off fame are caught up in a situation where people objected at the implied sexual discrimination because very recently a man was photographed with blue icing, and a woman with pink.
I have to ask – do you really care?
And do these objectors have nothing better to do with their time, or have nothing better to worry about?
Then I started thinking deeper – for many decades, we have bought blue babygrows and blankets for baby boys, and pink babygrows and blankets for our baby girls.
Birth Congratulations cards, birthday cards, birthday cakes, all go down the same route.
Are we all guilty of implied discrimination and / or stereotyping because of this?
Should the entire baby industry be changed, and we should perhaps only have yellows and purples for both sexes?
What absolute, complete and utter tosh.
