A reporter asked Robert Downey Jr. a drawn-out, thoughtful question about his character, then followed up with a question to Scarlett about what she ate to get into shape for her role as the Black Widow.

Can we just say how much I appreciate RDJ for that?! While I wouldn’t go so far as to call the question itself sexist, (because I have seen interviews where both Robert Downey Jr and Chris Hemsworth were asked about their diet for the rolls they played) it’s so blatantly obvious that it is when you ask “the hot chick” that question as opposed to the meaningful one that Downey Jr. got as if there’s not more to her as an actor and what she put into that role than what she eats.

Pink.
    The first thing to people’s minds upon hearing this word is, generally speaking, something along the lines of a Barbie doll. I’m not going to discuss the history of pink or why this became the case, but I would like to talk about the general detestation of the color.

    Most of my friends would not consider me “girly,” however, I have no opposition to the color pink. (As I mentioned before, girly and pink have become synonymous, so I felt obliged to clarify.) I hang out with a very “Eowyn” group of girls who pride themselves on this matter, resulting in what has now become an automatic distaste for pink.

(Eowyn being that chick ^)

    This bothers me. It really does. Women brag about how much they dislike pink. I’m all for feminism, and Eowyn is a fascinating character, (thoughts on her later though) but who cares if a chick wears a pink T-shirt. Why does she have to lose femi-nazi respect/points? It’s not a statement. It’s not meant to be degrading. It’s a COLOR.

    At one point, I actually asked a friend why she hated it so much. She answered by telling me she didn’t know. I then shared the aforementioned thoughts. She replied that because some people do interpret the color to mean ditsy, girly, etc she refused to wear it, because she didn’t want to be viewed like that.

That’s so not Eowyn though! She dressed up in men’s clothes to fight for something she believed in and got respect for for it. Why should a chick lose respect because of the color of a blouse. Better yet, why should that same chick (being the one who doesn’t care what people think of her in her sweats, sneakers, or MEN’S ARMOUR) care what these people think of her in a pink sweater? Eowyn wore many a dress as well.

    So, basically, it has nothing to do with the color of you clothes or your walls or your backpack. Eowyn is not respected because of her choice in color but because of her confidence, courage, and really high level of bad-assery.

    If you honestly just detest pink, because you simply think it’s not aesthetically pleasing, fine. That’s not a problem. I’m not a big fan of the color orange unless it’s very bright, but don’t judge girls because of ONE COLOR. If you don’t want to wear it or paint your walls that color, that’s ok. I’m not trying to color the world pink here. I don’t even have very much of it myself, but if they like it, let them be. It has nothing to do with their level of bad-assery.
