Why is the color blue typically designated for males and pink for females? Is this biological or something humans designated many generations ago?
In: Culture
It’s just cultural trends. 100 years ago it was the opposite. With the same logic. Pink for boys and blue for girls.
Vagina are pink, balls are blue?
Very much cultural. Prior to WWII, pink was actually considered a manly colour and blue was for girls. Then Hitler decided he was going to brand gay people with pink triangles and we decided pink was too girly for boys.
Pink was considered a suitable colour for baby boys because it was a softer version of the obviously ‘manly’ colour of red. Blue was considered a suitable colour for girls because it symbolised purity with its association with the Virgin Mary.
Not a biologist but it seem fair to say it is not biological given different cultures have assigned different colors to each gender arbitrarily over time.
