Someone told that there is blue is for the girl and pink for the boy. It makes me wonder about them. She said those colors for the generation because blue is soft for the girls and pink is strong for the boys. Okay, let’s research this. I see those years been carried. Let me show you here.

All years, both genders wore WHITE DRESS. Yes, boys wore dress when toddler like my papaw wore his! Why white? It is gender-neutral clothes or toy, whatever is because of the way people thinks of baby’s gender. 19th century, the way, they think that boys need pink color because of their stronger and bolder and that girls need blue color because of fair and gentle. 21st century, the way, they think different about boys and girls color for the gender surprises before newborn.

Many people see blue clothes and would think it is GIRL! Not boy? Yes, it does. Mine is GREEN, no one know my gender! LOL. Worse for my mother is trying dress me up as pink color and people called me BOY! LOL. Funny, I am blue-eyed myself. When you see babies has blue-eyed and wore blue clothes that would make them more excellent reasoning! Okay. I always wore blue jeans and my blue-eyed made brighter and more excellent too. Interesting? About color hair make their more excellent reasoning too. Mine were blonde and now dark color.

You know Rosie, the Riveter? In the 1940s, World War II. She wore blue shirt and had red headband at factories jobs. That’s her. Then later, the men come back from frontline and starts to be businessman in 1947 and the designer like Christian Dior were advertising of the postwar ideal so think women needs to be soft, flowing and feminine pink. That becomes history for the rest of years.

Well, in 1960s decided to drop the gender color. Let me left you the article that I found.

“The idea was that dressing girls in pink was going to lead to them continuing to feel like they needed to conform to the gender rules that had been set in place a few decades before. When women stepped out of the factories and back into the kitchens, they gave up careers and work outside of the house to become homemakers again. When they did that, they donned those pink clothes and it became a symbol that 1960s feminists wanted nothing to do with. Dress like the boys, the theory went, and you were going to be taken seriously (like the boys). That was also the start of the argument that there was no biological reason for girls to favor pink over blue, and that it was the way we were raising our children that made the color (and gender) divide an accepted thing. Clothing colors became, once again, gender-neutral.”

“Kids that wore blue shirts picked blue items, and kids that wore red shirts gravitated toward red.”

“Berries are red, and the more women were drawn to the color, the easier it was to find the berries. That might seem like a bit of a stretch, but that’s science for you!”

I love both colors so who cares?

NAZI prisoners wore pink triangle because of gay? jew? The way ideal of look feminine but boys are not gay but look like while in World War II. Those years, girls wore pink triangle for some reasons. That was myth thing. NAZI is gone now. Just a thought.

Since 2011, Lot of people wore everything colors. Most favorite color is BLUE. Least favorite color is YELLOW.

Any more comments? Let me know.
