The Color Purple

The color purple used to be the color of royalty. I think it sometime around the 19th century that it stopped being associated with royalty. It takes 12,000 shellfish to get just 1.5 grams of pure purple dye. Wow, that's pretty crazy!


Recently people have been saying that purple is not a "manly" color, or that purple is a female's color. When did this happen, and why? guess what, it's just a color. If you're a guy and you're too ashamed to wear the color purple because you think it's not a manly color then guess what, you aren't manly enough! You can't wear a color because you think it's "just for girls"?




Here are a couple yahoo answers for you.

"It's not the color that makes a man manly or feminine. It's the man himself. If you are a manly man, you can wear any color you want and you will still look like a man. But if you are slight and feminine looking, you will look feminine in it." By Artsy, http://answers.yahoo.com/activity?show=505e3f83987a61e99475b376a8d587e2aa)


"Well, I think it is! Purple is so hot! I mean, really, how many guys will wear purple? Only the manliest, just like with pink. Yeah, some guys think it isn't, and that's fine, but I would rather date a guy who is happy wearing pink or purple, instead of saying it's too girly. I mean, what an insult!" By Angle from Somewhere,(http://answers.yahoo.com/activity?show=z3A8meCNaa)

I happen to like Angel's answer a lot better. I mean come on, you may think that only a gay guy should wear purple, but honestly how much balls does it take to wear a color that everyone is going to criticize you for wearing?
