Post ww2 marketing trends associated ‘feminine’ products and behavior with brighter colors like pink, whereas ‘masculine’ products and behaviors took a more neutral tone

Also because patriarchal society = masculinity > femininity. society is misogynistic, ‘well of course women would like pants and blue and strength’ because acting masculine is desired but ho if a man wears a skirt or likes pink or is gentle then ‘there must be something wrong because why does he want something feminine.’
