When I see the pictures at the beginning, it looks normal because it is something that we see in real life where pink is for women and blue is for men, but I never realized that women's stuff was more expensive than men's. We see this type of "organization" in baby stuff adults tend to pick their stuff based on those labels. It's sad to know that while kids grow up, they have to follow those stereotypes and do not have the option to choose between colors even if the product is the same and they can get it cheaper in another color, but they have to take the one those labels prefer for them.
