When good ideas have bad names...
« on: Saturday, January 02, 2010, 12:00:03 PM »
My cousin became a fan of this group on Facebook. Its heart is in the right place, but man...they didn't think out the name.

Quote
Pinkstinks is a campaign and social enterprise that challenges the culture of pink which invades every aspect of girls' lives.

This site is for parents and non parents alike, and aims to gather support, promote discussion and ultimately to mobilize that support to influence marketeers and the media about the importance of promoting positive gender roles to girls.
I can't be the only one where the name "pinkstinks" brought this to mind.
