A little history on the tradition though the bottom line is that it is a "fashion trend" that people start believing in...people who think for themselves would not give it a second thought. "The color of pink, is now associated with womanhood, just like blue is associated with boys and manhood, although in 1918 "Infant's Department" (an industry publication) said the reverse was the "generally accepted rule", describing pink as "more decided and stronger" while blue was "more delicate and dainty"". Pink continued to be used for both boys' and girls' clothing through the early 1960s, though associated more and more with femininity. Carrie, from Sex and the City, for example, is seen wearing pink dresses very often in the television series, and Elle, from the Legally Blonde movie series, pink is her signature color." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink Jun 21 06, 8:16 AM
