Eli5: Is there a scientific reason why many young girls like like pink more than any other colour?
In: Other
There is a scientific reason! But it’s not what you might think.
Sociology is a science, and therefore the effects of socialization should be considered scientific.
Young girls get socialized in many different ways to love pink. Advertisements tell them that toys made for them tend to be pink. Their parents will buy them pink clothes and tell them they look cute in pink. Their friends will also like pink for the same reasons which reinforces it. They will hear again and again through so many different people that pink is girly. It all adds up to making pink part of their identity.
