You think I have made a mistake in my title? It's said the other way around isn't it?
Well yes, the hold true for the century we are in....but in the 1918 and for years before that, the colours were seen differently. Pink was seen as a bolder and more masculine colour and Blues were seen as softer and more delicate colour.
It was only in the 1940's that the clothing manufactures switched it , since it was suggested that girls liked pink more and boy's liked blue.
It was in the late 1960's and 70's that the colours were made unisex....until these efforts were drowned by the advertisers promoting stereotyping.
Even though now, after a few decades, we are again having the colours be gender neutral, you will still notice a lot of baby clothes for girls in pink and boys in blue.
Funny how media can brainwash us with something as simple as colours for genders. I have never really been a girl for pink.... as long as I remember having an opinion... i remember rebelling against pink for some reason. ..I'm okay with it as a colour now.... but not the biggest fan.
