So they think female babies don't have super-powered ambition? ;-D

Babies probably don't really care that much, but there is a definite ingrained pink is for girls and blue is for boys, which is funny to me, b/c my favorite color is blue. I've never really liked regular pink itself that much for for clothes mainly because I look awful in it.

I don't have any kids at this point, but I do have a niece and I was wracking my brain for superpowered ladies to introduce to her a few weeks ago. (She probably would've been all for the pink Supergirl costume, too.) These days pickings are sorta slim unless I go the Sailor Moon route or Korra (she's still a bit young for live-action Marvel). At least when I was growing up I had things like live-action Wonder Woman, Bionic Woman, and the aforementioned Supergirl. Today feels like a bit of a step back.
