Blue vs. Pink

So the other day at brunch my friends and I were discussing restaurant washrooms. The washrooms in question were the fancy ones at the Cactus Club. For those of you who have not been, they are quite spacious and have tv screens all over the place. I have not personally been in the mens washroom but am under the impression that they are comparable to the women's washrooms but the tv screens play sports channels while the women's play fashion shows. The debate began because one of the women at the table said that she would rather be watching sports. The conversation quickly regressed into the blue/pink debate, wondering if a colour choice or tv channel should be held accountable for peoples responses or, rather, that it is our interpretation of what liking pink means for our gender identities that is the culprit.
