So you genuinely believe that the reason your daughter prefers "pink pretty things" is because her "brain works differently"?
You really don't think any cultural messaging that girls are supposed to like "pink pretty things" has any influence?
Did you know that in the early 20th century, blue was prescribed as the normative color for girls and pink for boys? [1] Huh, now how do you reconcile that with your view that your daughter's love of pink is because her brain is just gosh darn different? Is your response that the brains of girls 100 years ago were the complete opposite of girl brains today? Or maybe that they just had the colors all wrong, and that clearly, based on your daughter's brain, you're glad society finally has it biologically right?
I was just speaking from a parent who also thought it was cultural that girls preferred pink sparkly things, but then experienced parenthood and it's clear as day they do.
I'm sure there are lots of girls who don't care for pink...but so what if the majority do?
No matter how much I tried to get my daughter into "boy stuff", she would just want the pink pretty things, even from a very young age.
Growing up she spent most of her time with her male cousins, so it's not like she wasn't exposed to lots of boy's toys.
Not that I mind get being into girly things... In fact it is pretty awesome :)
