Since that is one thing that is very much opinion, cultural thing and such. Girls refer much more than boys into different things as cute/pretty/beautiful. It's not the same thing than there would be general shared idea what is percieved as "pretty". There is not. Another person's beauty can easily be another's horror. Many girls despise pink and other referred as girly colors. And many men like them. Saying color is somehow gender related is not true, but it might be so because of cultural trappings.There is some cultural preasure and traditions pressing the issue. And parents often do much to teach them to their children. Despite this kiddies pick flavors, colors and music they like. You can force girls to play with "girl's toys" and boys with "boys toys", but you can't teach them to like something they don't like. Not in normal family anyhow.You can naturally because of culturally heavily pressed roles force people to "choose" according to desired themes. But here price of not follow the suit, has serious consiquences. Like violence or public humilation. OR simply the lack of different role models. It's always hard to be the first different one. That's why we have "yes-men" and story about only one kid that dared to say "king wears no clothes":.</blockquote>
