[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a deliberate strategy by manufacturers to get you to buy more stuff. If everything has a "boy" version and a "girl" version, consumers will often buy a new or additional one in the right color instead of reusing what they have or accepting a hand-me-down. It's especially prominent in toys. Peggy Orenstein wrote about it in her book Cinderella Ate My Daughter. It's a great read. I highly recommend it. [/quote] +1. Definite marketing tool. By about eight-years-old, a boy won’t ride his sister’s old bike because it’s pink so you have to buy another. Same with clothes. [/quote]
