Apologizing for the 80's much?

Thinking certain things like colors v gender is bad!

I'm definitely not on the woke bandwagon, but I can see the need to clarify to kids today, where purple isn't really considered boy or girl anymore. You'd have caught hell for wearing purple boots in the 80s if you were a boy.

Purple boots with flowers are not something most would consider gender neutral today - though 'ironic fashion' may make them acceptable to wear these days.

The purple is one thing. The flowers are another matter altogether.

[–] Burk48917 (11532) 3 years ago

Agreed, the flowers are pushing it.

Yeah, that was stupid and one of a handful of moments in an otherwise fairly good film that made me turn my nose up.

Boys shouldn't wear female clothing, including purple boots with flowers on them. In the 80s people found that shit weird for a reason.
