Answer #1

It’s more demographics than sexism. The things you’re mentioning are what make genders identifiable in some aspects. The colors thing is just what’s been normally used, and I don’t see the real problem with it…

Answer #2

O_o pink has always been a symbol of femininity and blue for masculinity, it has been so since the time they discovered colors, and pink (if im not mistaken) stands for fertility… as for the skirts, women wear skirts, men dont. nuff said and youd have to be high on something to mistake yourself for the one not wearing a skirt

Answer #3

I dont think it’s sexist, I think it’s just our society and the way things work. Stores are supposed to be eye catching with their displays so of course they will put colors that stand out to certain sexes and what a majority of people associate with that particular sex.

Also, for the toilet signs, think about people who cannot read, that’s what they put pictures there for. Or people who speak another language, it’s easy to see which one is female and which one is male if you put a skirt on one.
