A: I chose Amazon in order to survey the kid’s toys and clothes and I noticed that most of the cloths are pink in girls’ section and blue in boys’ section. Society has tagged pink colour as “girly” and chosen the color blue for male gender. I think both men and women have the freedom to wear the color they want regardless of their gender.
