real men wear pink
This phrase was first used as an excuse to wear pink. Some guys would wear pink then try to mock their non-pink wearing counterparts for not being comfortable with their masculinity and other such bs.However, recently, it has become a way to support
breast cancer awareness and research. During the month of October, men will wear pink on Fridays to support breast cancer awareness. The pink will often come in the form of a tie or
lapel pin but could include almost any article of clothing. Its counter part,
No Shave November, is also gaining steam as a way to raise cancer awareness.

A campaign run by the National
Breast Cancer Foundation, encouraging men to wear pink to show their support of
breast cancer research.
Breast cancer can affect both women and men, so the campaign aims to promote key statistics around the occurrence of breast cancer and raise money for breast cancer research. www.realmenwearpink.org.au
Example:
John decided to join the Real Men Wear Pink Campaign and wear a pink
tutu every day to work for a month! He raised $1000 for the National
Breast Cancer Foundation to fund
breast cancer research and his colleagues took lots of photos and shared them with the #realmenwearpink hashtag.

a marketing ploy phrase used by retail conglomerates to print
on baby pink t-shirts/hoodies
so young males with no identity can reassure themselves and indifferent bypassers of his own miniscule and suffering masculinity.
a mindset or cheesy
quip to explain away the regret/buried shame of why you ever purchased that hideous pink polo in the first place and are actually wearing it.

Example:
alot of the boys in my school wore those shirts for a bit. "Real Men Wear Pink." what a lie, i laughed at them. the girls they were trying to impress laughed too. then when ryan l. (the
resident gay kid who
sniffs women's perfume, and goes out with girls who'd never get any other guy) came in wearing a shirt with that logo, we all laughed harder at the kids who had worn those shirts

It's an attitude defined by the World of Warcraft Guild by the same name.
Against
the over the top and aggressive behaviors displayed "hardcore" Warcraft raiders, Real Men Wear Pink believe in a mature environment of empathy and
mutual respect.
Where
anonymity brings out the worst in people, Real Men Wear Pink have a refreshing view and a mission of "been nice"
Example:
Someone loses their temper in a raid....."Just be
Pink man"
Loot drops ... "You have it..." "No you have it" .......
no really you are welcome. " You guys are behaving just like "Real Men Wear Pink"
BE PINK

The most awesome band in the world. It features Spencer, Dan, Travis, and Jeff
Leight. Others appear with useless instruments. Like the
tambourine and the thunder tube.
Bongos are badass though. Hell yeah cracker.
