why don't girls pack guns? I'll take a shot at it

Traditionally it has been assumed guys like guns, girls don't. The anti-hunting craze that followed the release of Bambi has always been traditionally presented as female driven. And a lot of reasons have been offered for why guys like guns and girls don't.

Stuff like "Oh, men were the hunter-gatherers, it is encoded into them to like weapons. Women were the protectors so they avoid violence."

Or "Men like blood. Girls don't."

Or "The gun is representative of male phallic power."

Turns out the real reason had nothing to do with it. Girls want guns....they just want them their way.

Pink.

Now we have the answer. Make tanks pink and you will have a war at Macys. So simple, how come we never thought of it before? Probably because it leads to stuff like something else mentioned in the article...pink camouflage.

Huh? Isn't the whole point of camouflage to make you...oh, I don't know...HARD TO SEE? Good think pink wouldn't stand out in the forest....

Well, I thought the reason was because we were too busy stuffing bras with iguanas...maybe that's just me.
