Pink

My 3 year old son sometimes chooses things because they are the color pink. Many times he does it thinking he is "rebelling" for choosing something that is for "girls." Other times he says I want blue because blue is for boys.
Even before I had him I used to say I don't want to make colors gender based let my kids wear whatever they like.
But really who specified pink for girls and blue for boys?
and everything else...
are these tags and labels there because people made them up so it stuck or are they there because they really do give certain vibes?
