Pink should only be for little girls dresses and the human body, otherwise it's an ugly color.

This "lawyer" needs to get around more. The reason they painted the lockerroom that way is not sexist. It does show, however, that she has an axe to grind about something.

Can pink make strong men weak? Do pink jail cells create a calming effect? Is it true that football locker rooms (the ones for the visiting/opposing teams) are painted a certain shade of pink to weaken the players?

Yes and no! Here are the facts and some opinions:
Research - Baker Miller Pink
(Courtesy of Color Voodoo Publications -Copyright 1999 - All rights reserved)

One of the most interesting examples of color effects is Baker-Miller Pink - a color that's close to the bubble gum pink background color of this web page ( R:255, G:145, B:175) . Also known as “drunk tank pink,” this color is used to calm violent prisoners in jails. Dr. Alexander Schauss, Ph.D., director of the American Institute for Biosocial Research in Tacoma Washington, was the first to report the suppression of angry, antagonistic, and anxiety ridden behavior among prisoners: “Even if a person tries to be angry or aggressive in the presence of pink, he can't. The heart muscles can’t race fast enough. It’s a tranquilizing color that saps your energy. Even the color-blind are tranquilized by pink rooms.” 1 In spite of these powerful effects, there is substantial evidence that these reactions are short term. Once the body returns to a state of equilibrium, a prisoner may regress to an even more agitated state.

This whole pink locker room thing is childish and unsportsmanlike.
