Ah, well, I probably should have been more specific and said in recent memory. I know the general rule has been pink for girls and blue for boys at least since the early 70's (I was born in '71.)

I haven't made a study of it or anything, and my own daughter is getting to the age where pastels in general are no longer such a prominent part of her wardrobe. But my general impression has been that the association has actually grown somewhat less rigid since then--"girly" stuff is still very often pink, yeah, but it's no longer as unheard of as it once was for boys or men to wear it, and it's not that uncommon to see little girls' things in blue too.

(On a vaguely related note, I was rather disappointed to find when I went shopping for a baby gift recently that the pretty mint green that used to be a popular neutral for babies seems to have been entirely replaced by yellow.)
