Got a pink handbag?

    Do any of you MtFs own or would like to own a pink handbag?  

    When I posted on another forum that I had bought a pink handbag it brought forth a great deal of sneering and joking even though I said I always choose lighter feminine coloured clothes and a pink one would match nicely and there are lots of other women around with pink handbags.

    So why did I get so many 'wouldn't be seen dead with pink' sneers?

    Cos they think pink is a stereotypical girl thing. They think that if they like "pink" stuff they are conforming to society's views about "girls".

    If its a Prada bag, or Luis Vuitton, who cares if its pink. it matches the shoes.

    Not a bag, but I have a pink Marimekko umbrella. A nice surprise was how much safer I feel crossing streets. Cars *always* stop to let me me cross.
