I don't think "girly" means "weak and lame and second-rate" at all....rather it means exactly what it says-- "girly"- as in little girls! So when I say i don't want a pink bike with swirly flowers on it because I'm not ten years old, it's not a put down against anyone. I can see that some might interpret that as a put down, I suppose.

The whole point though is really simply that we should have some varied color choices, and that bike designers should not make their WSD bikes in only "girly" colors.
