The color pink. Definitely. cause I hate it

[Callid]

I'd say pink.
Pegasi and unicorns depend heavily on use, and especially pegasi I would rather associate with knights than with girls. Flowers depends on the type of flower, the same goes for fairies. Rainbows depends on the depiction and frequency. Realistic rainbows are not girly at all, but if there are dozens of little rainbows around, something is wrong
Princesses can be very un-princess like (Trickster's Queen :x), so I'll go with pink. Though the thing I would have chosen, had it been on the list, would have been RL horses/riding XD

[mangaluva]

I'd say princesses, because they're, y'know, female.

I haven't thought of pink as that feminine ever since that QI episode where Stephen Fry talked about how, until the early 20th century, pink was considered a manly colour because it was similar to red, which was manly because it was the colour of blood.

even discounting the obvious "princesses are girls" angle, the whole thing of daydreaming about being a princess isn't something that quite has a male analogue imo (you don't see little boys being walked around with "daddy's little prince" clothes ). The closest thing would probly be wanting to be a king, but even then those fantasies tend to be driven less by "I want to be pampered nobility" and more "I want to control everything", and it isn't marketed as heavily as princesses (like Disney Princesses and all the aforementioned glittery "little princess" stuff) are.

I'd say the male counterpart to a princess is not a prince, and not really a king either, but a knight. So, the medieval role of a girl is a princess, and the medieval role of a boy is a knight. But what exactly is the male equivalent of the colour pink or that horse-fawning?

[PT]

Riding horses is girly....? How?

I've known probably more men that into horseback riding and such than girls.

There's a reason I called it horse-fawning, not horse-riding

Also, I seriously cannot imagine that. Perhaps it's different in the US, but the amount of non-girl horse-riders is significantly smaller than the girl one over here

[PT]

I don't see horses as girly at all though, so. They're big, powerful beasts, and nothing about that makes me think girly.

[ranger]

I think girls are more into horses than guys, just from my experience
