When a little girl is born, she may be wrapped in a pink blanket. What does the color of the blanket represent?

A) sex
B) gender
C) gender-typing
D) All of these answers are correct.

The color pink has become associated with femininity and is often used to signify that a baby is a girl, but it does not determine their sex (based on biological characteristics). However, it reinforces societal gender norms and expectations, which is a result of gender-typing, which is the process by which children learn and adopt gender roles based on cultural and societal expectations.
