Laws to permit the colour "blaze pink" for hunters have been proposed in five states in the US. How did this become a legislative trend?
As the legislative session drew to a close last week at the Minnesota state capitol, a curious piece of legislation became the focus of ire for lawmakers - a bill to make something called "blaze pink" legal for hunters to wear.
...
Last spring, Wisconsin Representative Nick Milroy had the idea that "blaze pink" might also be an acceptable safety colour as well as a way to get some new blood into the sport.He even got a textile scientist at a local university to investigate whether there were any safety concerns.
"The fastest growing segment in new recruits into hunting are females, and that's one of the big reasons that companies have been marketing things like pink camouflage, pink guns, pink knives," he says.
Participation in hunting in the US has been on the decline for decades, and the sport is overwhelmingly dominated by men.

Some women were so offended that anyone would assume they like the color pink.. they actually voted the bill down. Someone please tell me there is some other reason for voting this out. I know not all girls like pink but I think most country girls are into the color.

A friend came over after the misses and I had the bathroom redone.
He said, "Ugh, pink bathroom... Women, amIright?"
I told him we had narrowed down the selection to brown or pink. I said, "The choice was mutual. Pussy pink or shit brown. Which would you rather enjoy?"
