Eli5: Is there a scientific reason why many young girls like like pink more than any other colour?
In: Other
Scientific, but sociological, not biological. For some reason western society decided that blue would be a boy colour and pink a girl colour. There are various theories on why that is, but none of them have been proven. Turns out companies make more money when they market specific toys to each gender, so they brand their toys boy toys and girl toys and then encourage parents to get the toy appropriate to their child’s gender. This means many girls in the west grow up with a whole bunch of pink stuff everywhere. This doesn’t actually make most of them *like* it though. It’s extremely common for teenage girls to start hating pink because they’ve been forced to like it for so long.
Also, pink is objectively the best colour. All humans should like it more than any other colour, but because pink is the girl colour a lot of men are afraid to admit it and a lot of women are afraid to embrace it.
