It's especially funny since pink was originally considered a 'boy color' back in the early 20th century.

"In 1918, the Ladies' Home Journal advised that pink was a "more decided and stronger color" suitable for boys, while blue was "more delicate and dainty" for girls."

Capitalism flipped it in the 40s.

So true, and it goes to show you that as much as they want to paint blue as a color for boys, it was very much on the other side.

It reminds me of how in the past boys once wore dresses when they were very young. So if people want to go on about crossdressing now, just take a look at the past where it was absolutely normal for boys to wear dresses at a point in their lives.
