That's a great article. I agree wholeheartedly. I'm not opposed to girls wearing pink, or going around in princess or fairy wear every now and again, but it's overkill right now. Every girl at Teo's daycare (except for two who are siblings) were wearing princess dresses for Halloween last year. I do believe it is also connected to the raunch culture.
I'm glad this is not only happening in the U.S. Maybe if it's a global thing, people will start paying attention.
Yes I hadn't made the connection with raunch but it does seem an obvious link.
I look forward to when people start writing articles about the the proliferation of green for girls.
Yes, you can get good tough bright clothes for girls but it's invariably the expensive stuff. Ta*rget & K*ma*rt seem to be wall to wall pink and flimsy - i can just imagine ranks of parents calling 'Careful! Don't rip it/get it dirty!'
