@justafrog@daisy@futurebird US take: in my gen even girly girls avoided pink; under patriarchy its image exists only counterpoint an adult man. Women were formerly eternal legal minors; it's remembered in breathy baby tones & baby pink, infantile, devoidof agency at any age. A babydoll can refer to a child's toy, or lingerie; the owner belongs to someone else.
A child trying to be seen as a person, girl OR boy, oft stands as far from that as possible.
