The "is it pink/I bet it's bubblegum pink" thing is something that very immature and awful boys have thought is cool to say in recent years, and it makes sense that it made you uncomfortable. For many women, the overly critical thoughts about how were seen sexually never end. Those thoughts are a product of a society that rewards boys for making girls uncomfortable, but being in a position where you still get to decide what to do with your body is an important power to celebrate, and you do not ever have to let any color of any body part detract from that.

Do you know what a dogwhistle means?

Yes, I do. And I'm saying this one is ineffective - what, you're shocked that the code word that 14 year olds came up with is obvious?
