Do Go On

This week's episode is in the form of a question - 'Why Do Girls Wear Pink and Boys Wear Blue?' Well, Matt has a bloody crack at answering this... he goes back to the 1800s to a time before the pink and blue dichotomy, all the way up to modern day, today! US President FDR gets a mention and historian and author Jo Paoletti's research is referenced a lot. It's an interesting time!Support the show and get rewards like bonus episodes:www.patreon.com/DoGoOnPodSubmit a topic idea directly to the hat: http://bit.ly/DoGoOnHat Twitter: @DoGoOnPodInstagram: @DoGoOnPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.comReferences and further reading:http://www.thelist.com/32342/real-reasons-behind-blue-boys-pink-girls/https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/08/pink-wasnt-always-girly/278535/http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20141117-the-pink-vs-blue-gender-mythhttp://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1654371,00.htmlhttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/ar
