I sure you DO like the color pink, but what is curious is the language you use to describe it: "bright and warm". From a color theory approach it is neither. It is a pale shade of red. Essentially it fundamentally is a pastel. Sometimes it gets intensified by the addition of some blue but it inherently is not a "bright" color, nor is it "warm" - the term "warm" comes from the sunlight associations of yellow, and pink never has any yellow in it.

We are all accumulations of our experiences and our social programming with a touch of randomness tossed in. So I would raise the question "Why do you 'like' pink, when it does not actually meet the descriptors you apply to it?"

I would argue that largely it is the consequence of societal programming (girls are supposed to like pink). This sort of programming almost always has some element of "role based"meaning, and when it is gender differentiated, it invariably is gender-role programming. So it is important to remember that until very recently, women's gender rolse WERE to be primarily about pussy, secondarily about child-rearing.

So I would still argue that pink IS about the message "I am pussy first"

The problem with VS's sexuality is not its "in your face" quality. Rather it is the very superficiality of the sexuality. The women in VS adds are not women who own their own sexuality, they are not women for whom sex is part of a rich and broad life. They are women who even in their "liberated" pursuit of sex are still primarily there for the enjoyment of men in a Girls Gone Wild superficiality.

Now of course everyone is entitled to live their lives as they wish. And perhaps I'm a touch elitist in that I prefer women who truly own their sexuality in a way that is integrated into their emotional and intellectual lives as well. But it seems to me that accepting your (a woman's) role in sex as primarily there for the enjoyment of men is very much a surrender of power and equality.
