I rather suspect the pink/blue dichotomy is one introduced, and rather recently, from other places. I do however think the pictures glowingly illustrate a)small children's temporary but strong fixations with certain elements, such as color and b)increasing amounts of material culture that support and feed this aquisitive element. To wit, when I was younger very few things in my room were pink, but EVERYTHING was related to my dinosaur fixation. Dinosaur toys, stuffed animals, rugs, curtains, wallpaper, books . . . it looked like the Flinstone estate!

Yeah but I have to admit that if I were to buy a gift for a little boy cousin, something pink is nowhere on my list.

I remember my pink phase... Then afterwards, I got sick of the color and refused to look at anything pink. o.o But now I'm OK with the color, and by OK,= I mean it doesn't make me want to throw up.
