Here's a random thing. There is one specific a colour that is *just* for 
girls. This colour is of course "pink".

Think about that for a moment. There's a particular segment of the 
visible spectrum that is especially resurved just for females. You walk 
into a room that's painted pink, you immediately think about girls. You 
see a set of pink baby clothes, you immediately think it's a baby girl.

Some people say things like "pink for a girl, blue for a boy". And 
certainly, if a boy wears blue, nobody thinks anything of it. But girls 
can wear blue too. Indeed, it seems that girls can wear *any* possible 
colour. But boys can't wear pink. That's resurved just for girls. So 
girls can wear any colour, boys can wear any colour except pink.

(I have no idea if this applies to other cultures around the world. I 
would hypothesize that it does not.)

I think we need to reserve a specific colour just for boys. I don't know 
*which* colour, but I think there should be a specific boy colour that 
girls can't use. Suggestions, people?
