OK, but why is it we seem to find it OK when our girls want to wear only "boy clothes", wear their hair short, are tomboys and play in or desire what we consider "boy" childhood roles..we do not bat an eye. When I was a kid, my favorite color was blue..so my parents painted my bedroom walls blue, no questions asked. But I would suspect that if one of my brothers announced HIS favorite color was pink, and he wanted pink walls....my parents would have said no because pink is a girl color. So, who made that decision anyway? What if the tradition boy girl colors were..Oh I don't know...yellow and green?? Is it because someone, somewhere decided for us that pink was for girls and blue was for boys??
