You might be interested to know that pink didn't start out as a
"feminine" color. In the Middle Ages, the color red was for men because
it represented strength, war, fire and blood. The color blue was for
women back then. (Blue represented harmony, peace, sky and water.)
When fabric was being dyed, the strongest color came out in the first
bath. Paler colors followed with subsequent baths. Back then, men's
clothing was made of pale red (pink) fabric. Nobody grew up "confused"
in those days.
