In 1918 the Ladies Home Journal wrote: “There has been a great diversity of opinion on the subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” The Sunday Sentinel in 1914 told American mothers: “If you like the color note on the little one’s garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention.”

Which makes sense of course since Pink is a variation on red, the color of blood and passion, things that were generally associated with being a manly man.

What I would like to know is when did the switch occur.

Happened in the 1940's. The Guardian had an article on this subject three weeks ago: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/20...5/genderissues

I think it's great that they had the presence of mind to do something like that. Quickest way to shut down a bully is to stand up to them.

Cool. Thank you.

Could Wyandotte also be a french version of Wyandot?

The city I speak of is Windsor (across from Detroit) so this all makes sense, except the chicken part....

The spelling "Wyandotte" could very well be the French version for "Wyandot"...I only mentioned the chicken because that is where I've seen Wyandotte used before.
