  gender related topics always invite most argument & dispute, hence it becomes the featured topic most of the time.

  Here What I Found
  
  Why do boy babies get dressed in blue, and girls in pink?
  
  Long ago, many people believed that evil spirits hung around the nursery, but that these spirits
  
  were repelled by certain colours. The most potent colour was blue, associated with the heavenly sky.
  
  Blue was believed to frighten away demons and rob them of their power. So blue on a baby was not
  
  only adornment, but also seen as a very necessary precaution.
  
  Now this was a long time ago, when girls were considered inferior, so boys got the really
  
  potent blue colour—it didn't matter what colour girls got. The assumption is that later generations chose
  
  pink for girls to symbolize that new rosy all-over-pink look

  Girls can wear any color without people thinking she is less of a girl.
  It's a totally different story for boys/men. Society defines masculinity way more strictly than it defines feminity.
