I remember hearing once that a hundred years ago pink was the colour for boys and blue was the colour for girls. I'm not sure how much I believe that, but it bears thinking about.
It's an interesting question. I guess I'd dress my child fairly plainly until which time he or she could decide what they want to wear for themselves. I wouldn't force my child to live within the confines of social constructs, but I wouldn't encourage my child to live outside social constructs either if doing so made them uncomfortable. I've not thought very much about it though, probably because I don't intend on having a child for a long time :P
Is it weird how people dress baby boys and girls in certain colours?!

The whole opposite thing is correct as far as I know. I read it on cracked and they do pretty good research.
