One of the things that is guaranteed to piss me off is when people continue the archaic notion of boys being blue and certain toys while girls are pink and different toys. This video really goes into the history of how blue and pink even came about...corporate marketing which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I highly recommend it. Also, I love you Toys'r'us of Europe, THAT's how you should market toys! I wish they'd do that here.

Just the other day, a coworker was complaining about pink shirts in the boys' section and when I bought up that boys used to be clothed in dresses routinely until they were four or so...she shook her vehemently and went, "NOPE!"
How less messed up would our country be with issues of gender, male insecurity and lgbtq if it weren't for this shit?
