I can't stand pink...no daughter of mine is going to wear that as long as I can help it...course, she'll probably go through a stage of wanting to, and I'll have to let her...I like blues, greens and purples :)
It always sickens me going shopping for kids toys and clothes (as I often do) how pink/pastel and frilly all the girls clothes/toys are and all the boys stuff is this wall of blue/bold primary colours for the boys.
One of my aunts had three boys who were all very girly growing up. They all wanted to wear jewellery, nailpolish, had long hair. I don't recall them ever wearing dresses, though (that was their father, but that's another story). But there were comments (from adults) that were less than flattering.
My uncle was the fifth child after four girls. My grandmother dressed him in handmedown dresses and pink things for the first while (until he grew out of them, being twice the size of his sisters at birth) because she didn't care to spend the money. She got a lot of comments along the lines of "Oh god, you had ANOTHER girl?" He's turned out pretty much your definition of alpha male, to the casual observer.
Is it weird how people dress baby boys and girls in certain colours?!
