I see where you are coming from with some of that Andrew in regards to tropes and what's supposedly for boys and for girls. Another perfect case in point here... we traditionally associate blue with boys, and pink with girls, right? Wrong. As recent as the late Victorian period here in the UK, blue was associated with girls and pink was associated with boys. When and why did they swap? No one is particularly sure, but it did. So having girls in pink and it being a "girly" colour is not much more than a century old here, and I'd argue probably way less than that in terms of specific gender identity.
