I don’t think you can make assumptions about the parents’ education or beliefs based on the color their baby is wearing.

About Nazis and pink:

If the novel were set in contemporary times, the line might have less punch – Oxford is considerably more accessible to non-aristocrats today, and the social codes of the 1% aren’t quite as rigid – but its symbolism would still hold. A pink suit at a black-tie function would still mark a man as frivolous, showy, and rather gauche. Just imagine the scathing press Dicaprio would get if he wore that beautiful suit to the Oscars…

I just go to the store to buy stuff for my 10 month old girl and I’m horrified by the prints and the colors domination “the girl section”. My baby is a baby, not a “little cheerleader” or “little girlstar”. She likes the robot toy that goes “blip blip blip” and bright colors like red and yellow.
If she wants to be a princess one day, I’ll tell her all about all the fairy tail princesses beyond Disney and I’ll gladly make her first tutu.
But there is a very reasonable explanation to why little girls tend to love pink, to me at least. ( I was crazy about pink as a kid and I have vivid memories from as early as the age of 3.) Kids are egocentric and they like it that way. It’s nice when the world revolves around you. At some point, you stop being in dead center. You want back in. You look around you and what draws peoples attention. Whats more adored and what gets attention? Girlish, Princesses, Glitter, girls who dress up…

That is why I associate it with lower education. Cause even if I try, or YOU try as a mother, our kids are still surrounded by this iconography. It is easier for a girl to be drawn into it if her parents shows no alternatives to her. But I do get that it can happen anyways, I really, REALLY do understand that, so please my intent is not to offend you.
