You never know with allergies - it could be a recent development :-)
More seriously: I guess pink is given the connotations of cutesy, little-girl-donesn't-know-a-thing and such.

I am guessing that she isn't the one with the problem with pink?
If so, *facepalm*

The discussion on Facebook has had its ups and downs. One particular
down is
a lot of name-calling amongst the women in the discussion. It appears, however, that some people are allergic to pink, and that some people find the text condescending and patronising.
The kerfluffle has caused quite a lot of views on the portal - on
ordinary
days, it has ~20-30 hits; yesterday 5159. *****
Oh, and at WikiWednesday the day after tomorrow, we'll probably talk
about
pinkness and stuff.******
