In the early to mid-80s, men work pink dress shirts (or pink stripes) with white collars and it was fashionable.

Reminds me the scene in “Rudy” where the entire team volunteers to sit out so Rudy can suit up for the big game.

David said one of the bullies angrily asked him whether he knew pink on a male was a symbol of homosexuality. Actually, it has been suggested by the APA that violent hostility to homosexuality is a sign of repressed homosexual tendencies... take that for what it's worth, Mr Bully...

If you’re going to go to the trouble of raising a mob, you may as well enlist it in the beatdown of the bullies and not just in wearing pink.

Treat thugs, er, bullies like in the real world: suspend them for a first offense and prosecute them for assault.
Its one thing if Joe and John agree to meet in the schoolyard after class to "work things out." Its quite another when Joe, Frank, and Pat gang up on John unprovoked and proceed to blindly assault him.
Its amazing what the scumbags who went to my elementary school got away with...

The bully wouldn’t last too long here on campus. Lots of guys are wearing pink now that preppy has come back.

From
this article:
There is no reason why you should take my word for this. Back in the days when ladies had a home journal (in 1918) the Ladies Home Journal wrote: There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl. The Sunday Sentinel in 1914 told American mothers: If you like the color note on the little ones garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention. Some sources suggest it wasnt until the 1940s that the modern gender associations of girly pink became universally accepted. Pink is, therefore, perhaps not biologically girly. Boys who were raised in pink frilly dresses went down mines and fought in World War 2. Clothing conventions do change over time.

Actually, in the attorneys office, there were a number of men wearing these shirts with their suits. They didn’t look bad either.

Dating myself but there was a time when “pink and black” was all the rage!
