The same thing arguably happened to cars, where women appropriated the color red and in process of doing that to the color orange.

I don't really understand this claim (maybe I'm thinking too much "Ferrari" red and less "Rav 4"?) but if anything will make more manufactures make orange cars my male ass is all for it...

Men's clothing is also getting more interesting again, with attendant public hand-wringing in certain circles.

That's strange because to me orange is definitely a bro color. It's the "Look at me, I have a fart can and aftermarket turbo" color.

That and lime green

As the (male) driver of an orange car, I've definitely not experienced that perception. (specifically straight) women are the number one hater of the paint job. Nothing but compliments from my guy and lesbian friends.

Subaru?

Nah. Sleeper mid-90's Acura. Paintjob was aftermarket.
