Also pink was considered a masculine color up until the 30s when the advertisers got their hands on it.

(Wedding rings for men weren't really a thing until around then, either, but I knew better than to try to advocate that particular position with my wife. Also, I kind of like my ring. It's tungsten, for durability.)
I got mostly admiring looks yesterday, primarily from women, and one long, perplexed look from a guy.

My wedding ring is Ti for... future retro-grouchery?
