Pictures of stuff, cont’d: Wearable, gendered edition

Here we have pictures (okay, drawings) of stuff as a design motif. What does this stuff communicate? Sociological Images, from which I have stolen this image, comments: “Just a reminder: being a girl means wearing pink and thematically attiring yourself in cooking and baking implements!”

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page. Tags:

Good catch, Rob. Gender training begins minutes after we’re born, when they wrap us in our pink or blue blankies and start calling us “dolly” or “tiger.”

Thanks for that Michael. But just to make sure I’m not taking undue credit — it wasn’t really my catch, I picked it up from Sociological Images.
