    Research shows children's products of 70's & 80's were less gendered than recent years. Pic shows Argos '76 catalogue vs more recent images:pic.twitter.com/7XPYsJmGn7

        It's often associated with the rise in Disney princess merch in the 90's

        It's about visible wealth & consumerism. Smaller families & more disposable income- showing you can have new ** for each child, etc.

        Both my daughters were born in the 80s. Clothes, toys, books ... everything was less gendered than today! Old photos show no pink clothes!
