Nascent Drama

From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because it was the more masculine and decided color while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color[8][9].
 
Since the 1940s, the societal norm apparently inverted so that pink became appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century[10].

For example, the Swedish radical feminist party Feminist Initiative uses pink as its color.
 
Pink is the color of the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon.
 
Pink was chosen partially because it is so strongly associated with femininity. [11]
 
It has been suggested that females prefer pink because of an evolutionary preference for reddish things like ripe fruits and healthy faces.[12][13]
 
This suggestion, however, has been criticized as unsubstantiated. [14]
 
Whereas Jewish people were forced to wear the yellow stars of David under Nazi rule, and Roma people were forced to wear a black triangle, men imprisoned on accusations of homosexuality or same-sex sexual activity were forced to wear a pink triangle.
